Israel is important to the Jews for many different reasons. Here is a list of reasons as to why Israel is important, and why Jews should live there:
Firstly, because it is our spiritual and religious homeland, and all of our holy sites are there.
Secondly, if you believe the Torah, then G-d promised Abraham that Israel would belong to the Jews.
And thirdly, on a purely pragmatic level: without Israel, Jews are a tiny, tiny minority in the lands of others, forever relying on fair treatment from whichever individual happens to be in control at a given time. History has shown us, in the most terrible way, that Jews are not safe without one small corner of this world to call our own.
If we'd had Israel during WW2, then we would not have lost six million Jews in the Holocaust - Israel would have come to their rescue.

Israel is important to Jews because God promised it to Jacob (Genesis ch.28), the father of the Israelites, and his descendants. Jacob was renamed Israel by God (Genesis ch.35); and the Israelites lived in Israel during the era of the Patriarchs (220 years), during the era from Joshua until the First Destruction (850 years), during the Second Temple era (420 years) and afterwards. It was where the Hebrew Prophets lived, and where the Mishna (Oral Torah) was codified. Also, many of the Torah's commands apply only in Israel.
