Question

Why do the Jews believe that Israel is theirs?

Answer 1

Answer:

The matter of Israel’s capital city has long been a source of dispute. Although nearly all foreign embassies in Israel are located in Tel Aviv, the country considers Jerusalem to be its capital. Jerusalem, which is one of the oldest cities in the world, has been formally divided between Israel and Palestine for nearly 70 years, yet changed hands many other times throughout the course of its over 5,000-year history. Israel and Palestine’s dueling claims to the city are steeped in decades of conflict, during which Jewish settlers pushed Muslim Arabs out of their homes and established the state of Israel on their land in the middle of the 20th century. But the claims are also tied to the religions of Judaism and Islam, both of which recognize Jerusalem as a holy place.

Answer:

The Jewish people base their claim to the land of Israel on at least four reasons

1) God promised the land to Abraham

2) the Jewish people settled and developed the land

3) the international community granted political sovereignty in Palestine to the Jewish people

4) the territory was captured in defensive wars.
