OpinionThe first man, Adam, was made from Israeli soil; and according to The Bible, the Hebrew people are supposed to be the people who most resemble the first man, both in character, and in appearance. In Genesis, the lineage from Adam justifies the existence of the Hebrew people. So although Adam is the father of the whole of the human race, among the human race the Hebrew people are most like him. Adam and Eve had children, and soon that "family" became a clan and then a tribe. That is how you can logically justify the existence of the Hebrew people - a whole race of people most like the first man, from the Old Testament understanding of things. Part of the reason for this is that ancient Hebrews were adamant about not mixing with others; and that included other Semites. That meant that they could not take wives from Africans, Europeans, or other Semites, only from among themselves. They could not even take wives from among the Ishmaelites, even though the Ishmaelites are closer in lineage to Adam himself than other races. According to the bible, despite the fact that Abraham was Ishmael's father, Ishmael could not inherit the land of Israel, from whose soil Adam was formed, because Ishmael's mother was Egyptian (a descendant of Ham, not Shem). The ancient Hebrew people were supposed to hold on to those lands and keep their blood pure, relatively unpolluted. So in other words they belong in Israel as they represent Adam and Eve. Answer:I would like to break the question into two parts:

1) Why do the Jewish people belong in Israel in principle;

and 2), Why do the Jewish people belong in Israel today.

Answer: 1) According to the Torah (Genesis 28:13 and other verses), God gave Israel to the Israelite people. Jewish tradition teaches that, spiritually speaking, Israel needs the Jews. Observing the Torah has a greater spiritual effect when it is done in Israel.

2) Whether or not the Jews should all go to Israel todayis a debated topic, even among the Torah-sages. Opinions are quoted in the halakhic authorities commenting upon the Talmudic discussion in the last couple of pages in the tractate Ketubot.

Together with the discussion in halakha (law), the safety and livelihood of immigrants must be taken into account; and all other repercussions.
