Why is holy land important to the Jews?

The Holy Land is important to the Jewish nation because it was the land promised to them by God, according to the the writings of their holy book, the Torah. Some basic Jewish history: The Jewish people were enslaved in Egypt for many years. A prophet, Moses, led the people in an exodus out of Egypt after convincing Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. Once freed, the nation followed Moses through desert for more than forty years during which time God promised to lead them to a land flowing with milk and honey. They eventually did reach this place (now assumed to have existed in the region of Palestine) and successfully conquered the people that lived there. Because of this struggle, the Holy Land is incredibly important to the Jewish people and their culture.


Should Christians take the Holy Land back from the Muslims?

A:The answer to this lies in whether Christians have a greater right to the Holy Land than do Muslims. The answer to this is that they do not. More controversially, perhaps even the Jews have no greater right to the Holy Land as a whole than do Muslims. Right now, Israel, a Jewish state, occupies most of the Holy Land. The Palestinians nominally occupy a smaller area of the Holy Land, but ruthlessly dominated by the Israelis, who are the occupying power in the Palestinian Territories. Some Palestinians are Christians.
