The Holy Land is a religious rather than an official political name, the Christian Daily website reports today (Sept. 4, 2026).
Christians generally use it for the land connected with the biblical story and life, death,and resurrection of Jesus -- including Israel,Jerusalem, and Gaza.
For Jews,the Holy Land is closely tied to the historical and biblical land of Israel in Christianity.It is associated with the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, particularly in Jerusalem.
The concept of the Holy Land is deeply rooted in religious traditions and plays a central role in the beliefs and practices of these religions.

Hatred of Jews has no place whatsoever for the Christian. This is more than the biblical call to love our neighbors.Jesus' Jewishness is at the center of God's plan to bless all the nations of the earth: His making a chosen people of descendants of Abraham. To hate the Jews is to scorn the most important Jew of all.
