What was the rise and fall of the Hebrew state in palestine?
If you are talking about the Modern State of Israel, it was established in 1948, and it is still around today.
If you are talking about the ancient state of Israel, it was not established "in Palestine". It was established in the Land of Canaan, which later became known as the Land of Israel, and then later called Palestine by the Romans.
Rehboam, solomen's son, wanted people to keep paying taxes. The people argued, and Rehboam said- "if you don't want to, leave." About 50% left, and it split apart families. They divided Israel into two Kingdoms.
- Answer 2
After Solomon's death, the people approached his son Rehav'am (Rehoboam) and asked that he now lower the tax. He ignored the counsel of his elder advisers and refused the people's request. This led the Ten Tribes to turn away from him (1 Kings ch.12).
The background reason was because King Solomon had been less than perfectly righteous. This led God to punish him by diminishing his dynasty in the lifetime of his son (Rehoboam). 1 Kings ch.11. A deeper reason is that God wanted the more righteous people of Judah to be influenced by the Ten Tribes as little as possible.
What is the Advantages and disadvantages of the creation of the state of Israel?
The advantages of the creation of the state of Israel are first, that there is a country to which Jews may flee when they are victims of anti-Semitism, and second, that Jews who live in Israel will be satisfied that they are fulfilling a religious obligation to live in the specific land that was given to the Jews by God (according to the Torah). The disadvantages of the creation of the state of Israel are that this has created a conflict between the Israeli Jews and the Muslims in the middle east, who believe that Israel, formerly known as Palestine, was stolen from them by the Jews, and that Muslims are the ones who are religiously obligated to live there, not the Jews; in addition, the Arab-Israeli conflict has damaged relations between all the nations allied to Israel and all the nations seeking to destroy Israel, and this hostility is a fundamental source of international terrorism and the various wars that have resulted from that terrorism.
What do the colors on the Jewish flag mean?
There is no such thing as a Jewish flag.
The State of Israel has Israeli national symbols such as a flag that draw from Jewish inspirations. It is very similar to how there is no such thing as a Lutheran flag, but the cross on the Swedish flag is representative of how Lutheranism is the dominant religion in that country. The colors of the Israeli flag mirror the traditional Jewish prayer shawl, one of the most sacred objects in Judaism. The Shield of David (the six-pointed star) is also a Jewish symbol representing the unity of the Jewish people.
What is the official religion of Israel?
Israel is a Secular Country and, as a result, has no official religion. However, since Judaism is predominant religion professed by Israelis, Judaism has a pull on governmental affairs. This is no different than how the United States is a Secular Country with no official religion, but Christianity has a pull on government affairs since most Americans profess Christianity.
It is a common misconception that because Israel is the Jewish State that the official religion is Judaism. This is a misunderstanding of the term "Jewish" in Jewish State. In this case it refers to Jewish as an ethnic term, so Israel is the Jewish State in the same way that Turkey is the Turkish Republic, as opposed to the way that Iran is the Islamic Republic.
Nations have mottos, not slogans. Israel in particular has no national motto. However, if you were to invent one, based on Israel's use of Hatikvah as the national anthem, I believe "a hope realized in flesh" would be a national motto which would theoretically work very well.

Why did Britain issue the balfour declaration.?
The Balfour Declaration was Great Britain's promise to pay the Zionists what they had agreed upon as a consideration for getting the United States into the war.
World War I broke out in the summer of 1914.
Within two years Germany had won that war and won it actually. The German submarines, which were a surprise to the world, had swept all the convoys from the Atlantic Ocean. Great Britain stood there without ammunition for her soldiers, with one week's food supply -- and after that, starvation. At that time, the French army had mutinied. They had lost 600,000 of French youth in the defence of Verdun on the Somme. The Russian army was defecting, they were going home, they didn't want war anymore, and they didn't like the Czar. The Italian army had collapsed.
Germany was offering England peace terms. They offered England a negotiated peace on a status quo ante basis. That means: "Call the war off, and let everything be as it was before the war started."
England, in the summer of 1916 was considering that -- seriously. They had little choice. It was either accepting this negotiated peace that Germany was magnanimously offering them, or going on with the war and being totally defeated.
The Zionists in Germany, who represented the Zionists from Eastern Europe, went to the British War Cabinet and they said: "You don't have to accept the negotiated peace offered to you by Germany. You can win this war if the United States will come in as your ally." The United States was not in the war at that time. They told England: "We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally, to fight with you on your side, if you will promise us Palestine after you win the war."
