The fact that Israel was originally a kingdom for several thousand years is a very good one. And that during the Jewish disporia many Jews still lived in that area despite what people say is another good reason.

Oh lets not forget that in the war of 1948 where there were 5 armies that tried to invade Israel and kill every single Jew. Their numbers were over several millons, and yet Israel had armed forces that at the time were less than 200,000 and very disorganized.

There is also the fact that 95% of the land was actually autioned off by Palestinians, Bedouins, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Britain to Jews that began to mov back there. Many people that auctioned the land off did so because they saw as barren land that could never really support farms, and such. After many Jews began to actually get the land to thrive, did those that auction off the land began to want the land back and said that it was illegal and the land was stolen; but due to legal documents of all of those auctions showing that is was all legit, the land did not have to be given back.

Israel is also one of the for runners in advanced technology, medicine, math, and human rights.

Have thousands of years of history are a kingdom, as a land that survived invasion many times and defended itself well, and has given much to the world. If you eat bagels, donuts, hash browns, chicken soup, and such you are eating food of Jewish origin. If you use cell phones and like to text, you are using technology created by Israeli Jews.
