Israel is important to Jews because God promised it to Jacob (Genesis ch.28), the father of the Israelites, and his descendants.
Israel had been the site of the First Temple, built by King Solomon; the dynasty of King David; the Second Temple, built by Ezra; and the Hasmonean Dynasty. It was where the Hebrew Prophets lived. Also, many of the Torah's commands apply only in Israel.See also the Related Links.

∙ 6y agoIsrael 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. They remained a majority in the land for another 300 years after the Second Destruction; and a minority of Jews remained there throughout the ensuing centuries.

Where did the Jews get their right to the promised land besides the bible?
The promise given in the Bible regarding the Jews getting rights to the promised land, was a promise directly from God himself. What is written the Bible has come straight from God. The Jews went through so much trouble, abuse, ridicule, were misled, etc that God hose to protect them at any cost. Those living in and around Israel have since the beginning of time have had to fight for the country, their land and their people. Upon researching many of the wars throughout the Bible and throughout current history books Because of the value of the land of Israel, many groups have tried to take pieces of it of take all of it. As you can see in current news, what every they try to do back fires on them. Jesus is of Jewish decent, also He was born in Jewish territory. Through salvation, Jesus grafted us in the vine. (as in grafting two tree branches together) Now both the Jews and the Gentiles are of the same blood line of Jesus and carry the same protection and are promised the promised land.

Why cructifixion of Jews happened?
It was not so much a crucifixion of the Jews as a persecution. The Jews were persecuted by the Egyptians because they refused to accept the pagan religion that was being forced upon them. The Jews believed that God would protect them from whatever persecution they would suffer, and God delivered. He sent people like Moses to lead the Jews to the Promised Land. After Moses set God's people free, the rest is history!
