Yes but at least one of those sides think they have exclusive rights because their holy book tells them so. Which is exactly my point.
Some ultraorthodox jews, yes. But Islam doesn't state that they own the land; just that Jerusalem is a holy city for them. Similarly, mainstream Jews acknowledge that the bible is no proof that they own the land.

Ultimately it goes down to historical ownership.
