Why did the Muslims want the Holy Land?

The Muslims wanted the Holy Land because it supposedly was where the Muslim Prophet Muhammad took his "night journey" to Al-Quds, which is the Arabic name for Jerusalem. From here he supposedly ascended into heaven for one night. Muhammad directed his followers of the nascent religion of Islam to face to Al-Quds in the direction of prayer before later telling them they needed to face Mecca (Makkah) instead. Today, all Muslims face towards Mecca for prayer.

Jerusalem is considered the third holiest city in Islam, and is the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque ("The Furthest Mosque"). Jerusalem was ruled by a series of Islamic dynasties for over a thousand years before Jewish settlers came to the Holy Land in what was then known as the Mandate of Palestine and began to colonize it.

Muslims want the Holy Land for its religious significance.

Arabs want Palestine for an Arab State.

Palestinians want a land to call their own.

Who helped Israel to became a nation?

Prime Minister David Ben Gurion issued the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948, but he was not a lone actor. There were a number of Zionists (not all Jews, but mostly) who were involved in the establishment of Israel.

The State of Israel came together as the result of Jewish immigration to the British Mandate of Palestine, Zionist leadership, Jewish militias and political and financial support from the West (primarily Jewish philanthropists). The first group are called the Halutzim or the Pioneers and they took it upon themselves to modernize Israel by cultivating the land and using European technology to improve its output and productivity. The Zionist leadership included some like Theodor Herzl, who envisioned the state, to Eliezer ben Yehuda, who developed Modern Hebrew as a functional language, to David Ben Gurion who declared Israel's independence and sovereignty, among many others. There were numerous Jewish militias defending the Halutzim and attacking the British (and eventually the Arabs when conflict started) such as the Palmach, the Haganah, and the Irgun. Finally, without the monetary contributions from families like the Rothschilds, there would have been no way for the nascent pre-governmental and governmental organizations to acquire enough capital to maintain an internal infrastructure.

Is Islam really against Israel?

Islam is against racism and discrimination policies practiced by Israel but not against the Israelis who call for peace and living in harmony with the Palestinians (Muslims and non Muslims)..

(most especially Jews).

There are approximately 195,000 Palestinian Christians and about 12,000 messianic Jews. Also, there are many Russian-born Israelis who celebrate Christmas.

Answer 2:

Christmas is just like any other weekday in Israel. Since over 90% of the population is Jewish or Muslim (neither of which celebrate Christmas), people go to work on Christmas. Schools are in session, and banks and businesses are open as usual. This is the case throughout the Middle East and in most of Asia as well.

The monarchs of Israel in the book of Judges?

Tradition puts the time of the Judges from the death of Joshua (1244 BCE) until the anointing of King Saul, some 355 years later. During that time there were no kings among the Israelites (Judges 19:1), because God ruled them (ibid. 8:23), meaning that they still felt God's presence strongly enough to not need a king.

For a list of the Judges, see the attached Related Link.
