According to scripture, David captured the fortress of Zion and the Lord established him as king over Israel (2 Samuel 5:6-12). I am not aware of any scripture that abrogates this, so I agree with you. Jerusalem, the City of David, was given by God to the people of Israel.

Zion started as another name for Jerusalem. It is also the Hebrew name of a mount in Jerusalem that was conquered by King David, where the City of David was located. The word Zion, Tziyon (צִיּוֹן) comes from the root tz-y-n
( צ-י-ן) in Hebrew. In Modern Hebrew we have a lot of verbs that come from this root. One of them is letzayen which means “to mark” or “to emphasize”. This meaning makes Zion an appropriate name to mark one of the holiest places on earth - Jerusalem. Some Jewish traditions even refer to Zion as the spiritual point from which the entire world was created, located in the Holy of Holies of the Temple.

When was the last time there was peace in that City? I am talking about verifiable history e.g not about ancient history.

History certainly doesn't/didn't for about 2000 years.

The will of God seems only to be manifest throught the will of powerful people.

Odd that.

It would be better if we could not have these religions doing their stuff of war.

Since when because Israel was born in 1948 and Jerusalem existed long before Israel.So if you want Israel to have a capital how about Poland.
