How far is it from Modiin to Gaza city?
The distance from Modiin, Israel, to Gaza City is approximately 70 kilometers (about 43 miles) when measured in a straight line. However, the actual travel distance may vary based on the route taken and current road conditions. Access between these areas can also be affected by security and political situations.
What is the purpose and agenda of the Israeli Settlement Policy?
As this question asks for an analysis of motive, you may have different answers.Answer 1Israeli policy (in terms of articulated positions) is very unclear with regards to the West Bank. What seems most likely to me is that they are trying to redefine borders by creating large settlements in key areas, like Maale Adumim, Modiin Ilit, and others, which is somewhat different from your view. Although you can contrast that with settlements like Ariel which are (for tactical reasons) useless in achieving that objective. So, while I lean towards the "recreate borders" premise, I am not sold on it. If the settlement policy becomes more pronounced than it is and we have upwards of 300-400 settlements, withdrawal will become nearly impossible, leading to a requirement (if Israel is to be civil) of annexation and citizenship for Palestinians.
What are the words to Eight Days of Hanukkah lyrics?
one is for the temple walls that never fall never fall (that's all i know sorry)Answer:Eight Days of Chanukah is a Russian folk song, with English lyrics by S. Gewirtz Once there was a time we had a Temple Where every Jew would go three times a year There we worshipped God in our tradition Till suddenly a tyrant did appear Then at Modiin Mattathias told us "Whoever is for God come join our band." Led by Judah and his faithful brothers We drove the tyrant from our holy land. CHORUS: EIGHT DAYS OF CHANUKAH, EIGHT DAYS OF CHANUKAH WE CELEBRATE THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHT THOSE DAYS IN HISTORY STILL LIVE FOR YOU AND ME LET'S KEEP THE FLAME FOREVER SHINING BRIGHT. When they came to dedicate the Temple How their hearts were heavy with despair Impurities and idols all around them And just one jar of pure oil was there But with faith in God they cleansed the Temple Kindled that small lamp with hope and love Then the story had a happy ending Eight days of blessed light came from above.
Is there any problem of overpopulation in Israel?
Answer 11) Let me tell you a little story. At some point around the year 1920 or so, one of the high-ranking officials of the British Mandate did an extensive survey of the area that is now called Israel. After his careful study, he officially published the opinion that "the region between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean will certainly not be able to support a population of more than five hundred thousand."Yet today Israel has seven million people. And still plenty of extra space.2) In 1990, very large numbers of people from the former Soviet Union began emigrating to Israel. Within a just few years, one million of them had settled in Israel. Yes, there was a brief housing crunch, but that was followed by a massive upswing in new construction. Entire cities were built from scratch at that time (such as Modiin Illit and Betar). And the economic situation of these immigrants was and remains vastly better than what it had been in the USSR.3) The Talmud (Ketubot 112b) assures us that Israel has a special quality which enables it, through God's blessing, to provide space and sustenance for those who live there.Israel's population has increased twelvefold since 1948, while the quality of life has steadily gone up, not down.Answer 2Israel does have some problems on account of its sizable population, but none of them are unique to Israel. All of the surrounding countries have these problems and are typically in a worse position to ameliorate them than Israel is, since Israel's government actually functions.The bigest overpopulation issue in Israel is water scarcity. The Sea of Galilee, Israel's largest freshwater body has seen its levels decrease. Correspondingly, Israel has invested heavily in desalination technology in an attempt to reverse the trend.Unlike its neighbors (especially Egypt), Israel is a net exporter of food products and since it does not have the explosive growth rates of Arab countries, sees increases in farming efficiency come before the population is too massive to overwhelm the supply.There is some crowding in cities, but the Israeli government takes an active role in building new viable cities in sparsely populated areas and developing the countryside which prevents the kind of urban price jumps that are seen in Vietnam where the government does not make similar investments.
How did the Maccabee's take advantage of the Greeks?
This was a method of making the state bigger and of greater authority than any other religion other than the Greek polytheism, thus many Jewish people fell in line and acquiesced to the regime. Antiochus, buoyed by his success of the gymnasium, decided to push harder against the Jewish religion. A short-lived rebellion took place and when this was put down Antiochus’ views were hardened. He defiled the Holy Temple, vandalizing it and erecting an idol on the altar. He then outlawed certain practices such as circumcision and the Sabbath. Altars to Greek gods and idols were placed in every town and those who did not pray to them and convert from practising Judaism were put to death. Rebellion Although many of the Jewish community were, at this point, Hellenized, the persecution of the Jewish people and the destruction of practicing Judaism united the Jewish people in Judea. The Jewish people needed someone to lead them. When Antiochus sent some of his officers to the town of Modiin to lay down his tyranny and enact the oppressive laws that he had enforced, he was met by a local Jewish country priest named Mattathias. This turned out to be a very portentous meeting. The country priest was ordered to fulfil his duty to the state and be the first to sacrifice an animal to an altar of an idol. He refused and when another Jewish man stepped forward to do it, he murdered the officer. Tearing down the idol, Mattathias preached "Let everyone who is zealous for the law and who stands by the covenant follow me!" (I Maccabees 2:27). The Jewish people had their leader. He and his five sons, John, Simon, Judah, Eleazer, and Jonathan, rallied the Jewish population. In 167 BCE, the Jewish people rose up, with Mattathias as their leader. Soon after 167 BCE, the family of Mattathias became known as the Maccabees or the hammer. They recruited tough Jewish people on the way and began a guerrilla war as they started to take over the northern villages of Judea. They tore down the altars of idols and killed those who worshipped them, even many Hellenistic Jews. Mattathias died in 166 BCE but just before death, he left Judah in charge of his army. Antiochus underestimated the severity of the rebellion and the size and strength of the Jewish army. Instead of crushing them with the full force of his armies, he set his less effective generals on them. Judah, a wise and courageous military general, defeated them with consummate ease. Antiochus was made to look foolish. As a response, he set out to exterminate the Jewish population in Judea. Antiochus sent for his most glorified general, Lysias, and around 60,000 Seleucid soldiers to try and do just that.
Are Israeli settlements slowing the peace process?
Yes. They are a major sticking point between the Israelis and the Palestinians. To read about why they are such a problem, please read below. Close to 500,000 Israelis live in the West Bank or East Jerusalem in several major cities like Ariel, Modiin Illit, East Jerusalem, Pisgat Zeev, Ma'ale Adumim, and Efrat. Entire neighborhoods, schools, universities, companies, and livelihoods have been built up in the West Bank, not to mention voters in Israeli elections. The removal of settlements is a difficult political and social issue within Israel as it would be very costly both monetarily and socially to uproot 500,000 people and resettle them. The Settlers believe that they have the right to live closer to the various holy sites in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. For many of them, this is part of why God allowed Israel to conquer the West Bank in the first place. They want to raise their children and build a life near where Jewish civilization actually began, in the hills of Judea and Samaria which form the West Bank. In order to build to these settlements, land in the West Bank is confiscated according to a variety of arcane, inane, and relatively unjust laws (depending on your perspective). In addition to the lands taken in order for the Settlers to live, Settlers have also taken sufficient lands to build highways and other infrastructure to connect the Settlements to 1949 Israel, bypassing Palestinian cities and making it more difficult for Palestinians to move between different Palestinian cities in the territories. Several Israeli Settler Highways even prohibit Palestinian usage. Finally, the Settlers live under Israeli Civil Law even though their Palestinian Neighbors live under Israeli Martial Law. This creates a weird dynamic where Settlers who commit crimes are judged in 1949 Israel in front a judge and Israeli jury. Palestinians who commit crimes are judged in the West Bank at a military tribunal presided over by an Israeli Army Judge. It creates incentives for Israeli Settler recklessness since Palestinians are likelier to face worse treatment for counterattacks than the Settlers for the original attacks. This is not to say that Palestinians are innocent in the bloody Settler-Palestinian clashes, but that the legal structure makes it easier for Israeli Settlers to provoke Palestinians without worrying about the consequences. Given all of the above, the Palestinians abjectly refuse to allow the Settlements to remain in an independent Palestine. Israel, however, cannot justify uprooting so many settled Israelis. Several two-state solution plans accord as many "border" settlements as possible to the Israeli government while giving Palestinians extra territory in the areas around the Gaza Strip and southern West Bank as land swaps. However, some cities, like Ariel are too deep in the West Bank to seriously exchanged.

How does Israel's policy on building Jewish settlements in disputed territory impact the potential for peace?

What are some forms of Israeli control over Palestinians?
Main IssuesIn 1967, Israel fought the Six-Day War against the Arab States and took over control of the West Bank and Gaza. These territories did not come under Israeli Civil Authority and have been instead militarily controlled. Palestinians who live in these territories have to contend with Israeli checkpoints, military provisions, and incoming settlers. The Settlers cause a number of problems (see below). This occupation is perceived by Palestinians to be a repression of their Right to a State and their ability to lead normal productive lives.Due to the militancy of Hamas, Israel has found it necessary for defense to form a blockade around Gaza and to only allow certain materials into the territory. This has resulted in a Human Relief Crisis in the Gaza where the average caught in the struggle barely have enough food, heat, and light to adequately survive. On a different token, the West Bank (as controlled by the Palestine Authority) is a patchwork of separate unconnected jurisdictions. As a result, the West Bank leaders depend on Israel for defense coordination, tax collection, and assurances of safety from settlers. This creates a secondary occupation-dynamic where the Palestinian government is bound to the desires and wishes of the Israeli people in addition to its actual constituency.More on SettlersClose to 500,000 Israelis live in the West Bank or East Jerusalem, the Palestinian Territories, in several major cities like Ariel, Modiin Illit, East Jerusalem, Pisgat Zeev, Ma'ale Adumim, and Efrat.
