OdAmiChay- agreed.

Health and shlishi- Please, now you are saying what the Arabs are saying, meaning that we “deserved” to be attacked by six Arab countries all because the UN gave us a medina. Read the book HaTekufa HaGedola by HaRav Menachem Mendel Kasher, it might help you get a broader picture of this issue. Saying Yerushalayim has no Kedusha anymore is not correct. Halachically, the Chasam Sofer holds there is no Kedusha (it is a machlokes, see Rambam Hil. Beis HaBechira 6:14-16, the Chasam Sofer is ALSO sover that the Raavad {who disagrees with the aforementioned Rambam} agrees on the inherent Kedusha of Yerushalayim, the machlokes is the halachic Kedusha) , but he said that it is still Kodesh, albeit in a non-halachic manner, because it is the Shaar to Shamayim. In Yoreh Deah 234, he said that the Halachic Kedusha is gone, but still there is a mitzvah to live there because there is still an inherent Kedusha in Yerushalayim that is bigger than other places, and that the inherent Kedusha is unchangable. See Tashbetz 3:201, Yechaveh Daas…
