Are Jews from a certain country?
Originally, the Jewish faith was created in what is now modern day Israel. Many Jews live in Israel today, and many people associate Jewish people with that country today. Not ALL Jews are from Israel. There are many that have ancestors who lived in ancient Israel, but many could have converted to Judaism but lived in another country. Saying that Jews are from one country is like saying that Christians come from Italy, it's just not true. Therefore, no Jews are not from a certain country.
Is Jesus the true Messiah of Israel?
A:According to Christians, yes. According to Jews, no. It therefore depends on what you believe.
Is it true that if a nation blesses Israel it will be blessed and if it curses Israel it will be cursed?
That is a question of faith, not history. But there are some people, especially Biblical Christians, who believe that is true. That is actually a line from the Old Testament, or Hebrew Scriptures. It was applying to the nation of Israel, not necessarily today's modern State of Israel. Answer 2 Yes it is true. In this context "Israel" refers to all Jews, whether they live in the State of Israel, or outside of it. Nothing whatsoever in the Bible suggests that it was referring only to ancient Israel, or specifically not to Israel today or in all times. God's promises are eternal and irrevocable. The modern Jews are the same people as the old nation of Israel, and are largely consolidated around the modern State of Israel. Answer 3 It isn't true.
Why do many people live in Israel?
Answer 1Maybe because Israel is a Jewish Nation. It would make sense that most Jews would want to live safely and securely in a nation that supports their values, if they could.Note:Israel is the nation with more Jews among its population than any other nation, but it's not true that more than half the Jews in the world live there. According to figures as of mid-2009, Israel still comprises less than 50% of the world's Jewish population, with the rest spread among roughly 135 other nations.Answer 2First of all, most of the Jews don't live in Israel. The Jews living in Israel are still slightly less than 50% of the Jews in the world. But living in Israel has a great traditional value in Judaism, and Israel actively and openly, both religiously and secularly, welcomes Jewish immigrants, and it's expected that the Jews in Israel will be a majority of those in the world very soon.The reason is very simple, without bending your ear or beating around the bush: Israel is an openly, proactively, ambitiously Jewish state, the place where Jews historically, culturally, spiritually, and secularly belong, and the only place in the world where Jews are welcome, period.But still, for a short while, slightly less than half of the world's Jews live in Israel. The other slightly-more-than-half of the world's Jews are still spread out among 135 other countries.Next subject:This question has been coupled with the question "Why can only Jews live in Israel ?" ...a question that cries out for a clear response.It's true that Jews are a majority of Israel's population. But it is not true that any category is prevented from living in Israel. That means no categorical restrictions. Of all places on Earth, Israel understands the evil of restrictions against people based on what they are.Israel has no official state religion, and no group, class, or category of persons is barred from Israeli residence and citizenship because of what they are. Residents, land owners, home owners, business owners, voters, full passport-holding citizens of Israel include Muslims, Christians, Palestinians, Druze, Seventh Day Adventists, Eastern religionists, non-religious, atheists, blacks, whites, yellows, ethnic Orientals, ethnic Arabs, all citizens have the vote, including their men and their women, and send their voting representatives to their local governments and to Israel's parliament.The court that found a former president of Israel guilty of corruption and sentenced him to serve a prison term included a Jew, a woman, and a Muslim Arab, and there was no revolution or coup d'état preceding the verdict!Is it necessary to point out how, in these respects, Israel is quite unlike othercountries in the region ?
What is the national food in Israel?
Israel is a nation of people with roots in almost 140 countries, whose families brought their national specialties with them. As the Romanian Jews used to sing of Romania, is now true in spades of Israel: "Voos du'vst vellen vest du dorten kriegen!" ... "Whatever you want you'll fnd there."
Does the Bible say that the Jews were the true Israelites?
A:The Old Testament was written by several different people over a period of several centuries, so of course different views are expressed. The people of the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel were certainly Israelites. After the final destruction of Israel in 722 BCE, mmany of the Israelites were removed to other parts of the Assyrian Empire, where they gradually adopted the religions and cultures of their host peoples. Thus, these Israelite people ceased to exist as a separate ethnic group, although legends of the "ten lost tribes of Israel" continue to this day.The people of the southern Hebrew kingdom of Judah are sometimes referred to as Judahites before the time of the Babylonian Exile or perhaps the seventh-century-BCE religious reforms of King Josiah. After this period, they became known simply as Jews. They could look back to the time of David and Solomon and a united monarchy of Israel, although many biblical scholars say there was never really a united monarchy.The period beginning of the Babylonian Exile was a period during which the Jews began to re-examine their identity and seek to establish who they really were. Were they simply Judahites, were they part of a larger Israelite nation or were they the true people of Israel. The consensus of those Jews who were taken into Exile was that those who were left behind in Jerusalem were not the true Jews or true Israelites - that honour belonged to those who had suffered the most.Jeremiah stringently observed the distinctions between the separate nations of Israel and Judah, especially in the early chapters of his book, whereas H. G. M. Williamson (The World of Ancient Israel: Sociological, Anthropological and Political Perspectives, The concept of Israel in transition) describes Ezekiel as breaking completely with prevailing reality in order to initiate (or return to) an idealistic, even utopian, view of Israel as the single people of God. Jeremiah also had hopes of the people's reunion, but he expressed it in terms of Israel's return from exile and reunion with the people of Judah. There gradually arose a concept that the Jews in Exile were the true Israelites, not merely the descendants of Judahites, and that they inherited all the rights of the nation of Israel. In their writings they began to refer to themselves as Israelites.

Is it true that the Jews are responsible for 911 because they bomb Palestine and Al-Quaeda likes Palestine and US is allies with Israel?
It is not true. You cannot blame an entire race of people or country for the actions of an extremist ideology. Al Q'aeda is the ONLY group responsible for the 9-11 attacks.
