In the aftermath of the Holocaust, the world finally recognized what Judaism had claimed for three and a half millennia: the Jews needed a land to call their own. In order to ensure that the Jews would no longer be treated as second-class citizens, they required a state in which they could rule as the [...]

The Arab and non-Arab Muslim umma, or global community, vehemently denies pre-Islamic Jewish and ignores pre-Islamic Christian connections to all the territories that comprised historical Syro-Palestine—including Judea, Samaria, modern Israel within the 1949 armistice borders, and Gaza.
