Hamas with suits on: Palestinian Authority shows its feathers

PA Prime Minister Omits Judaism Among Faiths Devoted to Jerusalem

Jerusalem is holy to two religions - Islam and Christianity, PA Prime Minister Salaam Fayad [pictured at left] said at the UN-organized interfaith peace conference.

Fayad failed to mention the importance of Israel's capital to the Jewish people, Israel Radio reported. "Jerusalem is home to the third most holy place to Islam, the place where Muhammad rose to the heavens, and the place where Jesus, the Christian, was resurrected," the Palestinian leader proclaimed.

UPDATE:

Proving the Historic Jewish Identity of Jerusalem -Rivkah Fishman-Duker

For ancient Greek and Roman pagan authors, Jerusalem definitely was a Jewish city, as seen in references to Jerusalem from nearly twenty different sources, dating from the third century BCE to the third century CE. These texts indicate unanimous agreement that Jerusalem was Jewish by virtue of the fact that its inhabitants were Jews, it was founded by Jews, and the Temple, located in Jerusalem, was the center of the Jewish religion. Despite the negative views of Jews and Judaism expressed by authors such as Manetho, Apion, Tacitus and Juvenal, the Jewish identity of Jerusalem is always clear and never a subject of dispute.

These ancient texts disprove recent attempts by Muslims and others to deny the historic connection of the Jewish people to Jerusalem and the location of the Temple in Jerusalem through fabrications and lies.

They are certainly not looking to give any legitimacy to the claims of Israel. It is okay to mention the Christians, since, as you have pointed out here, they have been driving all of them out of the area.
