Jews Have No Legitimate Claim to Al-Buraq/Wailing Wall (Barf Alert)
Aside from the fact that the Jews built the temple the remains of which are the Wailing Wall (which also includes some Roman ruins), the West Bank (ancient Judea and Samaria) was part of the newly created Israel in the partition in 1948 which gave 90% of Palestine to the non-Jews and 10% to the Jews. Shortly after the partition the surrounding Arab countries attacked Israel and Jordan annexed the West Bank. The West Bank was regained by its rightful owners when Jordan lost it in 1967 due to the fortunes of war.
