Yes, but it's like asking a Native American to see why we have an attachment to NYC.
Jews have been living in Israel for 3,000 years.
Islam was only founded 1,300 years ago. And the first Muslims attacked Israel shortly after. They then built mosques on top of our holiest sites to prove their domination: The Temple Mount in Jerusalem & on top of the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron.
The first Crusade was 1,000 years ago, after Jews had been living there for 2,000 years. And the Christians came and slaughtered us, built their churches.
The problem is the State of Israel is tolerant and allows all religions under its umbrella to pray at their holy sites in peace, Christian, Muslim & Jew. So anyone who feels an attachment to the land is free to express it in those parts. But, any parts of Israel under Arab/Muslim control doesn't allow Jews or Christians to pray or even live there freely. So what do you do?
