Israel has a number of problems, just like any country. There are arguments over the budget, the power of the military in public affairs, the Palestinian Issue, welfare expenditures, urban planning problems, etc.

I'm sure that if this question were to be asked of an Israeli spokesperson, the answer would be, there is nothing wrong with Israel. But I do think that there is a problem. The territory of Israel has, for thousands of years, accumulated a vast amount of religious significance for 3 different religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and all 3 have been fighting about it for a very long time, with the irrational fanaticism that religious conflict usually brings. It was never really necessary for Jews to live in Israel, and there were certainly alternatives available in 1948 when the state of Israel was founded, but religious mania prevailed, even though the founders of Israel knew perfectly well that they would be facing a state of permanent conflict with their Muslim neighbors. Knowing this, they should have chosen differently. But so much has now been invested in Israel that it is virtually impossible to change course at this late date.

According to The Bible, there is nothing wrong with the Jewish that isn't wrong with everyone else. In fact, the Jews are God's chosen people, the people He chose to be the bringer of the Messiah. Yet like people everywhere, many of them have rejected the Savior whom God sent to them, Jesus Christ.

I think this is a question that everyone should ask of themselves instead of asking it about someone else.

What is another name for the land of Israel A - Jordan B - Mecca C - Eretz Israel D - Zionland?

Eretz Yisrael is the Jewish name for the Land of Israel, so "C" is the best answer. Jews also call Jerusalem (and by extension the rest of the country) Zion, but not "Zionland", which is why "D" is wrong. "A" and "B" refer to areas of the Middle East outside of the Land of Israel.


Is Israel wrong?

Answer 1If you think it's wrong to kill people, then Israel is wrong.Answer 2First of all, the claims of Israelis willfully going around killing Arabs are exaggerated. More Palestinians have died as a result of violence perpetrated against them by Arabs (in Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon) than by Israelis. Secondly, if "killing people" was the standard by which countries are wrong, then capital punishment, which is legal in the United States and most Arab countries, would render all of those countries "wrong" too.Israel has historic, legal, political, and infrastructural reasons to exist. So it is not "wrong", whatever that means. Is Israel imperfect? Certainly, but no country is perfect.

Why did Israel invade Lebanon in 2006?

Israel has a strict policy of bringing every soldier home safely (either alive or in a body bag). Hezbollah thought they could antagonize Israel a little by kidnapping two soldiers, Regev and Goldwasser, on the Lebanese border, thinking Israel would not actually fight for them. They were wrong and the Lebanese civilians paid the price for supporting and housing such belligerents.

What does anti-Zionism mean?

Anti-Zionism is a movement which denies the right of Israel to exist, and the right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. However, Israel has been the Jewish homeland since biblical times. Although much of Anti-Zionism is devoted particularly to the State of Israel, Anti-Zionists reject the idea of any Jewish State anywhere in the world as an unnatural, undesirable, and wrong situation.


Why do all the Arabs want to destroy Israel?

You placed your question in the "Israel" category. It seems a bit weird that you should choose to ask the country that was attacked why the attackers keep attacking, rather than ask the attackers. But since the question is here, I'll tell you what I think the answer is. It's my personal impression and opinion, and I could be wrong. After that, I hope somebody who represents the attackers will see this, and will tell us that my impression is right or wrong, and if it's wrong, tell us the real reason that they keep attacking. My impression is that the reason they keep attacking is that after more than sixty years, neither the governments nor their people can yet make their peace with the concept, and cannot accept the existence of a Jewish country in their neighborhood.
