Who deserves the Holy Land?

After my researching the topic and learning about the different religions in class I believe that only one religion truly deserves the Holy Land. The Jews. I believe that the Jews should get the Holy Land meaning Israel over Christians and Islamic people. They too find the land holy and important, but not as important as the land is to the Jews. The Jews deserve the Holy Land because the land is holiest to them, they were there first, and it is there only home.

Israel is extremely holy to the Jews. After they left Egypt and came back to Israel they made the land very beautiful and rich. They made temples and used gold to cover the inside of walls. This made Jerusalem a very important and wealthy capital. This land is very holy to the Jews and they made it what it is today. This land is only considered the 3rd holiest land to Islams and Christians haven't returned to the land since they were kicked out by Saladin so that shows how important it is to them.

On top of the land meaning the most to the Jews, they were there before Christians and Islam. The Jews lived in Israel or Palestine with the Palestinians. They lived happily together and never opposed each other. The Islamic religion only came to Israel when Muhammad died. So Jewish people were there before Islamic people. The Christians only came to Israel because Jesus was born there. Jewish people were there before both religions so they get to claim the land.

My last reason is they have no other place to go. Throughout history the Jews have been treated as lesser people. They were killed in Europe in the Holocaust during WWII and treated like slaves in Egypt. They were also kicked off their land by foreign invaders many times while Palestinians got to stay on the land. This is because everyone has hatred towards the Jews. So the Jews only have this land to live and call home. Islamic people however have the rest of the middle east which is a 650 fold greater in size than Israel. The Christians have a lot of land too such as Europe and The United States of America.
