You really have to make an effort to see
that tiny red speck on the map.
That's Israel.

Arab countries versus Israel
Maps of Arab countries (green) and Israel (red).
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Israel became a nation about 1300 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
The people of modern day Israel share the same language and culture shaped by the Jewish heritage and religion passed through generations starting with the founding father Abraham.
Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
That tiny speck in red is ISRAEL, the land that Arabs can't live without. And the land that the world wants to partition to create yet ANOTHER Arab country - the Islamic State of Palestine.
Arab influence - as Islam - extends beyond this map, into more of Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian sub-continent, and more.

Israel is the very embodiment of Jewish continuity: It is the only nation on earth that inhabits the same land, bears the same name, speaks the same language, and worships the same God that it did 3,000 years ago. You dig the soil and you find pottery from Davidic times, coins from Bar Kokhba, and 2,000-year-old scrolls written in a script remarkably like the one that today advertises ice cream at the corner candy store.
