Best Answer

Israel is the Jewish homeland. Jews were expelled from their homeland in 70 CE by the Romans, and have been treated very badly in many different countries for nearly 2000 years.

Jewish prayers and hearts have yearned to return to Israel for millenia.

Israel represents a haven for Jews to escape persecution and mistreatment.
