According to Judaism The land is holy It was the same Jerusalem and the same Holy Land when the Romans had it when the Mamluks had it when the British had it The only thing that will affect its holiness is the behavior of people in the land If people behave in a God-like manner the land itself becomes holier If people behave against God then the land itself becomes less holy It's a spiritually sensitive land And Jews were there when we had King David when we had prophets when we had a much higher level of fulfillment of Judaism than we do today Then came the idol worshippers and God said as it says in the Bible if you worship idols God is going to kick you out of the land And in fact Jews say that passage 3 times a day in our prayers
