I understand that coming from a Christian background it may be hard to understand how important a connection to land is to some other religions, particularly Judaism (also Aboriginal Australians).
But it is absolutely fundamental, as important as belief in Jesus's death and resurrection is to Christians.
Indeed the entire Jewish Bible both religiously and historically revolves around God's promises of land to Abraham and then Moses.
The position of the tiny minority of anti-Zionist Jews is not actually inconsistent with the fundamental importance of The Land of Israel to the Jewish People. They just disagree on whether their can be any secular hand in implementation, not on Divine Promise or the goal.
The Muslims have Mecca and Medina and Jerusalem is clearly a distant third place in importance (having only been mentioned in a dream of Muhammed) and coming historically over 2000 years after the Jewish King David established Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish People.
Christians should know better because more than half their Bible is the same Jewish Bible or Tanakh. I'm a Christian myself and funny enough I was actually raised Muslim. I think this is ultimately a spiritual battle. You could call it a religious war. Either way, it's not just over a piece of land. It's two religions (Judaism and Islam) clashing over opposing claims attributed to God and as a Christian, I believe God will take the side of Israel, in order to expose the lies of Islam.
