Was Samaria a capital of Israel?
It was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of the Ten Tribes of Israel, yes.
Was Jesus Christ buried in Israel?
Probably.
2nd Answer:
When Jesus was pronounced dead on his cross, he was interred in some kind of a stone or masonry tomb, with a huge rock placed at the entrance to seal the tomb. The dead were not buried in the ground back in those days.
So He was never actually buried. The Holy Bible tells us that Jesus arose from the dead and ascended into Heaven to be with the Hole Father, God.
His tomb was in Jerusalem, which is now located in the nation of Israel.
How is the two-way responsibility of the covenant between God and Israel reflected in the Shema?
Hear (listen; understand) O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One (Deuteronomy 6:4). This verse is central to Judaism probably more than any other single verse. It summarizes our belief.
Our side of the covenant: the first two words of the Shema are in the imperative: a command. They tell us to think about God, to be aware of Him, and never to lose sight of His oneness and uniqueness. The verse is obliquely warning us against idolatry; which, to those who later went astray (Judges ch.2), became the gateway for other sins as well.
God's side of the covenant: the Shema calls the Lord "our God," referring to God's considering us as a treasure (Exodus 19:5).

Answer 1
Hezbollah (Arabic: حزب الله Ḥizbu 'llāh, literally "Party of Allah" or "Party of God") is a Shiite
Islamic militant
group that operates primarily out of Lebanon. It also has numerous secondary wings such a political party and healthcare services. Its primary source of funding and ideology is the Islamic Republic of Iran. Due to its actions against civilians, most Western governments and some Arab governments have recognized Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. However, due to its strong showing against Israel in the 2006 Lebanon War, Hezbollah is seen favorably by Arabs for resisting Israel.
Hezbollah claims that its opposition to Israel is rooted in both political considerations and from their understanding of the requirements of Islamic Jihad. This dual prong makes it difficult for other Muslims to condemn them, since even if they disagree with Hezbollah's interpretation of Islam, they do not disagree with the political considerations (namely Lebanese and Palestinian independence).
Answer 2
Hezbollah is a Shi'a Islamist political and paramilitary organisation based in Lebanon. The core of the Hezbollah organization (also spelled Hizballah, Hezbullah and other variants, meaning 'Party of God') in Lebanon comes from 'Iranian Revolutionary Guards' sent to Lebanon in 1982, at the time of Israel's invasion of Southern Lebanaon designed to oust the PLO. They went to assist in the establishment of a revolutionary Islamic movement whose members would participate in the 'Jihad', Holy War, against Israel from bases in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. Inspired by the success of the Iranian Revolution and establishment of an Islamic Republic in Iran, Hezbollah also dreamt of transforming Lebanon's multi-religion state into an Iranian-style Islamic state. Its ideology, as expressed in declarations by its leadership, maintained that Israel had no legitimacy as a state, and that it must be fought until Jerusalem, meaning all of Israel, is liberated.

What is 20 thousand liras in Israeli currency from 1974 worth in 2015?
In February of 1980, Israeli Liras were made obsolete by the Old Israeli Sheqel at the ratio of 10:1, meaning that 20,000 Israeli Liras would be 2,000 Old Sheqels. In January of 1986, the Old Israeli Sheqel was replaced by the Israeli New Sheqel at a ratio of 1000:1, meaning that 2,000 Old Sheqels would be 2 New Sheqels. (2 NIS is roughly worth $0.51 as of 6 September 2015.)
However, because the coins and bills were made obsolete, they are not convertible on their value. They are also not rare enough to have any special value on the market.

What were the Arab League's proposed solutions to the creation of the state of Israel?
The Arab League has only ever proffered one solution to the Creation of the State of Israel and that is an unceasing war of elimination, economic boycott, and impermissibility of any dialogue with or recognition of Israel.
The Arab League's membership declared war on Israel when the the Jews declared a State.
Since the State of Israel has been in existence, the Arab League proposed a solution in 2002 to create a lasting resolution to the Arab-Israeli Conflict called the Arab Peace Initiative. Israel has rejected the initiative since the agreement would require Israel to allow Palestinians the Right of Return not just to the Palestinian Territories but to Israel itself, effectively ending the mission of Israel as the Jewish State. Israel wanted to negotiate further with the Arab League to create a mutually viable solution, but the Arab League refused any negotiation on the terms of the Arab Peace Initiative.
How did Israel get its independence?
With the British scheduled to end their "mandate" of controlling a large land area
in the Middle East, the UN voted in 1947 to divide one small part of it, allowing the
surrounding Arab nations to administer and control one segment, and the "Zionists"
to administer and control the other segment. The surrounding Arab nations objected,
and did not accept this "partition". When the British mandate ended, on May 14, 1948,
the "Zionists" immediately declared their segment to be an independent sovereign nation,
and the surrounding Arab nations immediately combined their armies and attacked the
new independent sovereign nation.
