Now I'm not sure that any place is more holy than another, but Israel has been deeply significant for the 5 Judaic religions that we know of, plus Islam and the Baha'i Faith. That's 7 of the 9 major religions that we know of.

It is also in the general area which gave birth to modern agriculture and animal husbandry, the city state and political and social systems we have greatly expanded upon today.

So Holy Land or not, there is no other place on earth that can lay claim to such foundational patterns of thought and social organisation.

Good points waffle.
And don't mention the Nobel prize winners and start-up companies that are out of proportion to the population size.
That may seem like boasting.
