The Bible specifically states that Jerusalem is given not to all the Jewish people but to one specific tribe of the Jews and it was the tribe of Benjamin. But the tribe of Benjamin was for the most part wiped out by the other tribes and their survivors fled to what is now France and Spain. Should the surviving Benjamites be invited back to Israel? I rather doubt the Ashkenazi rulers of Jerusalem would evacuate the city for them, no matter what the biblical texts say!
