How do you dial a mobile number from Israel to the United States?
Mobile phone numbers in the United States use the same geographic area codes as, and are indeed indistinguishable from, landline phone numbers.
To dial a number in the US (or Canada or the Caribbean/nearby islands in North America's country code +1) from a GSM mobile phone, just dial +1 (including the plus symbol) and then the area code and number.
To dial a number in North America from a landline (or non-GSM mobile) in Israel, dial 00 1 and then the area code and number.
(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

What is the conflict between Israel and Bedouins?
The conflict between Israel and the Bedouins is a political issue which, for the most part, does not prevent Bedouins in Israel from being loyal to the Israeli government.
Israel has made settling the Bedouins a priority since it is easier to govern settled people as opposed to nomadic people. Of course, this is problematic considering that being nomads is part of the Bedouin culture. There are land expropriations and laws preventing Bedouins from living on their ancestral lands in order to pressure Bedouins into living in the Israeli-Approved cities.
Micah.
In Micah 5:2, the prophet Micah was saying that although Bethlehem was a small, seemingly insignificant, village, yet a ruler of Israel would come from there.
Christians believe that this prophecy was fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ, who was born in Bethlehem. Jews have questioned this, because they believe that this ruler will immediately set up his kingdom to rule. Christians believe that Jesus came the first time to die for the sins of the world, that he was resurrected from the dead, and that he will return one day for those who believe in him. It is at that time that Jesus will set up his ruling kingdom for ever and ever (Micah 5:3-4).

During the Roman Rule of the Jewish land Judea, about 2000 years ago, the Romans changed the name of the land to Palestine. So the Jews living there were the Palestinians.

What is the root of the misunderstanding between the Israelis and the Lebanese?
This question confuses the word "conflict" with "misunderstanding". The Israelis and Lebanese understand the other party's desires quite well, but refuse to concede them, leading to conflict.
Israel was involved in Lebanon's Civil War and supported the Christian Phalangists against the PLO, Lebanese Islamist Militias, and Syrian Forces. Israel believes in a Lebanon that accords rights to all of its inhabitants (including Palestinian Refugees) that include the right to dissent and the right for people to express unpopular opinions.
The Lebanese Muslims are opposed to the existence of a State of Israel and openly endorse organizations like Hezbollah whose stated goals are the destruction and elimination of that State. Lebanese Christians, unfortunately, are by-and-large denied a voice in modern Lebanese politics because they are not allowed to openly oppose these radical Muslim desires.
