Answer 6

There are two reasons.

One: Israel is the historic base of the religions most important to me, Judaism and Christianity.  Islam too, of course, but I don't have a personal connection to Islam.  I am a Christian, and Judaism is the basis of Christianity.  So, to me, Jerusalem is a holy city in some ways..

Two:  Modern Israel is as good an example as we have, in this fallen world, of a nation modeled and living by Judeo-Christian principles.  

I'm not implying that modern Israel is perfect and without sin or evil.  Of course not.  But it is based on the right principles.

Israel is the place my grandparents moved to in the 1920s; it is there that they paved roads and dried swamps; all for the sake of reclaiming their homeland.

Mainly because God has put a love for Israel in my heart.

Answer 27

It isn't

Israel was created in 1948, as a result of the League of Nations Mandate of 1922, which granted a mandate to Great Britain to create a "National Home" for the Jews in Palestine. This right was based on the right to self determination, a right shared by all peoples.

It's a chunk of land, I can't imagine it having any more importance than a chunk of gold or any other material thing, religion is in your being not under your feet.

Get real and stop looking for a place to put religion.
