Do I need a license for airsoft guns in israel?
Israel. Airsoft guns are classified as "dangerous toys" in Israel which makes airsoft legal to import, manufacture and sell by licensed retailers only.
Airsoft guns themselves are legal in many parts of the world, although some countries, states, and cities have specific restrictions against the items. For example, California State Law states that peoples of all age can use these items, classing them as both tools and toys. Safety regulations in many areas require bright markings on the items (such as an orange tip). They are officially classed as "soft air devices" or "air compressed toys", depending on the location.
:answer The hobby is legal in Israel and other countries and, unlike air-rifles, one doesn't need a license to purchase such a weapon.

Yes, i have done two deployments overseas and both times used converters to step down 220-110. Just make sure it is a good converter. I recommend anything by radio shack.
More AnswerIsrael uses 220Volts at 50 cycles. You can use a step down transformer to step the voltage down to 120 for 120 appliances.50 cycle power will cause many ac motors to run about 83% slower. Synchronous AC motors rotate at exactly the supply frequency, and mechanical clocks made for 60 cycles will run slow on 50 cycles, loosing 10 minutes every hour (or 4 hours every day).
You cannot easily or inexpensively change 50 cycle power to 60 cycles.
You can buy transformers at Radio Shack before you go, but if you have a problem it will be difficult to get to RS to exchange it.
Transformers are heavy, and a big one can weigh down your luggage and airport fees can get expensive. Small ones, good for a radio or a very small appliance may only be a few pounds, but a large (1500VA) step down transformer weighs 20 to 30 pounds.
They are also readily available in Israel, and any local or chain hardware store will have a selection.
Many computers and monitors and many other small electronics will work ok on 220 volts. Read the label. My computer monitor says 110-220VAC 50-60Hz, as does the power supply for my laptop and the battery charger for my camera. For any of these I'd just need plug adapters.

Definitely Latin. Paz is the Spanish word for peace, pax in Latin. Hebrew does not come from Latin, so would not have words similar to Spanish. Of course there are Hispanics who live in Israel, so if you or a family member lives there, that explains why a Spanish name would exist in Israel.

Who are some national heroes in Israel?
First, it depends on the sense in which "Israel" is intended. It can be a reference to the modern Jewish State or it can be a reference to the Israelites in the Bible.
If you are talking about the modern country, in many cases, heroes have strong political baggage attached to them. So, while a person might be a hero to a group of Israelis, he or she may be equally reviled by a different community of Israelis. There are probably five Israelis who are heroes to the vast majority of Israelis, listed in order of birth: Chaim Weizmann (leader of the Zionist Congress and one of the major forces that brought about Israel's existence), David Ben-Gurion (first Prime Minister of Israel and heir to Weizmann's chair), Aubrey "Abba" Eban (Israel's first UN Ambassador), Moshe Dayan (one of Israel's most important generals), and Yitzhak Rabin (Six Day War general and Prime Minister assassinated during peace negotiations with the Palestinians).

From Mini Israel's official website:
The Park displays hundreds of models that are exact copies of sites, buildings and landscapes from around the country. The models are built at a scale of 1:25, which means that every real meter is scaled down to 4 cm.
The exhibited models are of architectural, historical, religious, archaeological and social importance. They are surrounded by colorful flowers, miniature vegetation, bonsai trees and thousands of "Israeli" figures who are 7 cm tall.
The Park is located in Latrun, just off the main highway from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and only a few minutes from Ben Gurion Airport.
In what year Jerusalem was made the capital of Israel?
Concerning Ancient Israel
We do not know the exact year that King David conquered the city from the Jebusites, but it would have been around 1000 B.C.E.
Concerning Modern Israel
In 1949, after the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-1949, West Jerusalem was firmly in Israeli control. It was at this point that Israel declared Jerusalem to be its capital. Since it only controlled the West, it was de facto understood not to include East Jerusalem under Jordanian control.
In 1967, when Israel acquired the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the Israeli capital began to become both West and East Jerusalem, although most government offices remain in West Jerusalem. In 1980, Israel officially annexed East Jerusalem to the Municipality of Jerusalem which created one unified capital de jure in Israel. The International Community condemned this act.
Are there wars similar to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?
Answer 1
There never was and there is not any country called "Palestine", so there can not be any war between the sovereign State, UN member Israel - and some terrorist groups called Hezbollah and Hamas; there can be only anti-terrorist operation. And this is exactly what Israel recently carried out: an anti-terrroist operation "Cloud Pillar" against Hamas.
However, there is one particular feature in the conflict between Israel and Palestinian Arabs that makes it different from any other conflict in the world. I think this is the unique case in all the history of mankind when a State - the victim of the aggression - supplied the aggressor with fuel, electricity and food. And this is exactly what Israel did - and goes on doing.
Answer 2
The Israel-Palestine conflict is actually a very common type of problem that arose in the Old World after World War II where ethnic disputes that had been stifled by the colonial powers were able to come to the fore and result in the intent of a separatist group to "reclaim" part or all of the former country for its religious/ethnic/national grouping. Of course, no situation is exactly the same as the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, but some similar conflicts include:
- The Sri Lankan Civil War
- The Biafra War (in Nigeria)
- The Second Chechen War (in Russia)
- The Abkhaz-Georgian Conflict (in Georgia)
- The South Thailand Insurgency
- The Sudan-South Sudan Conflict
- The Ethiopian-Eritrean Conflict
- The Turko-Cypriot Conflict
- The Kurdish Conflicts (with Turkey, Iraq, and Iran)
- The Balochistan Conflict (with Iran and Pakistan)
Answer 3
History's legacy created divisive issues between Palestinians and Israelis. Judea, home of the Jews in ancient times, was conquered by the Romans and renamed Palestine. Palestine was later conquered and inhabited by Arabs for over a thousand years. The Zionist movement arose to restore the Jews to Israel, largely ignoring the existing Arab population. Following the Balfour Declaration in 1917, Palestine was granted to Britain as a League of Nations mandate to build a national home for the Jewish people. The Arabs resented the Jews coming in to take their land.

There are other conflicts around the world especially in Africa but no conflict has been going on like the conflict in the Palestine territories.
