It's mainly about the whole notion of 'homeland'. Jerusalem/Israel has special significane in terms of the history of Judea. Personally I think it's a load of hogwash but alot of people seem to swear by it.
The whole situation has gotten so deep in blood that tactical/practical sense doesn't really apply anymore. The cycle of vengeance killing has gone around so many times in the few short decades since the state of Israel was created that it's hard to really remember who killed who, and why. There's just the two sides, unquestioningly duking it out. Madness. Call it pessimism, but there is no hope of this being resolved in the near future, nor in the distant.
ps: as an aside, as the condition of the global natural environment becomes increasingly dire in the next century or two this whole debacle shall appear all the more fickle and pathetic anyway.
