what is the big deal with israel?

No, it has to do with the land…

but really it has to do with the Bible.

Both the Israelis and the Palestinians believe the land is rightfully theirs. Most of the Arab neighbors are supportive of the Palestinians.

tseirpeht: “The main reason is land, however it is not the only reason. Muslims are commanded by their religion to kill jews.”

This really is not true. Islam like Judaism and Christianity is an Abrihamic religion. Muslims consider both Christians and Jews to be “People of the Book” because they follow the revealed word of God in the Torah and Gospels. There are Muslim extremists who are antisemitic but there are Christian extremists who share the same bigotry. Most Muslims consider both Jews and Christians to be their brothers.

but really it has to do with the Bible.

…and the Torah… and the Quran… and three major world religions all sharing the same Holy City… such a cluster…

No! We don’t kill any Jew if we see one. In history,they were killed because they always went against the Muslim-Jew agreements and treaties and eventually Muslims were forced to take action and kick them out of Medina to stop them from causing harm.
