This is not true. Most Jews do not even believe in god. They are secular and atheists. They are far too intelligent to believe in myths.
However, since the Vatican created the Deicide bs that the Jews murdered the non-existent god (as if human beings could murder a god), they have been persecuted, murdered, tortured, had their good stolen for 2000 years, So they needed a place of their own. As Israel has been associated with Jews for more than 3000 years, it was the agreed spot.
This has nothing to do with a belief that God gave Israel to the Jews. Only fundamentalists believe that bs.
