The misunderstanding between the Zionist Project and the Arab People developed in the mid-1920s and 1930s. In the early days of Zionism, a few Jews immigrated to what was then the Ottoman Empire, bought territory from the Turks and began to cultivate it along with the indigenous Palestinian Fellahin (farmers). They introduced new agricultural techniques (from Europe) and built infrastructure in the region. The Arabs saw little issue with a few Jews fulfilling some dream because of the investment they brought to the region. The Arabs were under the impression that the Jews would never arrive in sufficient numbers to actually realize a Zionist Dream.

In the 1920s and the beginning of the British Mandate Period, Zionists began arriving more frequently and in greater numbers. They began assembling Jewish militias to protect their interests and began attacking British outposts. It became clear to the Arabs that Zionism was no longer a pipe-dream but was actually something that the Jews were going to actualize. The Arabs were deeply offended by the notion that they should have to give up any land to accommodate the Jewish vision. They began to form their own militias and attack Jewish settlements and pleaded with the British government to limit Jewish Immigration. The British complied and kept Jewish immigrant numbers low through the late 30's and 40's which meant that when a Jewish State would have been most useful, Jews were forbidden from going there.

When the British announced after World War II that they were withdrawing from the Mandate of Palestine, Jews and Arabs separately but contemporaneously began trying to establish their own infrastructures to build states. When the Jewish State was declared, Arab armies from the surrounding nations invaded and Arab civilians fled the Mandate in the wake of the fighting for numerous reasons. Many of the Arab armies made it clear that the they would not stop until every Jew was dead and many Arab civilians saw some of the atrocities committed by Jewish soldiers in Arab villages as evidence that the Jews were reciprocating this tendency, even though Israeli Prime Minister Ben Gurion strongly encouraged Arabs not to leave.

Since the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, which was just described above, tensions have only worsened due to numerous other conflicts and failed peace treaties and armistices.

Syria and Israel are both big places.

Northern Israel and southern Syria share a common stretch of border, so in that region,

the distance between them is zero.

On the other hand, from the Israeli port of Eilat to the northeast point in Syria where it

meets Turkey and Iraq, the distance is about 680 miles.

So the answer to the question is: 680 miles or less.

King Saul was anointed by the prophet Samuel, at God's instruction. Saul united the Israelites under his rule, thus forming the united kingdom of Israel.

David Ben Gurion. He had the courage to stand against the US President Truman and against the opinion of the leaders of all the European countries who thought Israel should have the status of cultural autonomy and were against the creation of the Jewish State. But David Ben Gurion decided to proclaim Israel´s independence in spite of all this.

Without Ben Gurion´s courage, Israel would never be an independent State.

Golda Meir. She did not dare to disobey American orders and deliver the preemptive strike in 1973 Yom Kippur war. It cost Israel thousands of lives. But when she saw the consequences of her decision, she had the guts to order the nuclear alert and 13 Israeli bombers were loaded with nuclear bombs, after which she put it bluntly to American leaders: either we get the weapons and equipment you promised to us immediately or we shall convert Egypt in a big black slightly smoking parking lot. Americans retreated-and sent the weapons.

Unfortunately, after her, in my opinion, Israel was not lucky with leaders. Rabin, Peretz, Netanyahu, Sharon, Barac, again Netanyahu... Nothing interesting, just politicians fighting for power and caring very little about their country and their people.

Brazil was the first country in the world to recognize Palestine as an independent state, just last year, after a personal request made by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Therefore, Brazil and Palestine have good relations. Although Israel views such unilateral recognition as something that undermines its interests, the relations with Brazil have not worsened. Brazil is "for" Palestine yet not against Israel.

some popular sports in Israel are soccer and basketball, also track and field, swimming and gymnastics

The document in question is the Balfour Declaration of 1917.

David was.

This question isn't literate. But I'll attemt to answer what I can understand.

Israel was, in fact, Palestine after the Crusades. However, in the 1800, the Jewish people began to return to their homeland, and after the horrors of the holocaust, the newly-formed UN gave the Jewish people their homeland back, after 1878 years, after the expulsion of the Jews from Judea/ The Kingdom of Israel in 70 BC.

1. In 1948 Syria joined other countries in a military effort to prevent the Israeli conquest of the country of Palestine. After the alliance was defeated the country of Israel was declared. Before 1948 there was nothing called Israel.

2. In 1967 The Israeli army initiated a massive attack on Syrian, Palestinian and Egyptian lands adjacent to the founded Israeli nation cutting off pieces of these countries and adding it to Israel including the Syrian 'Jolan' Heights.

3. The last military encounter was in 1973. The Syrian army along with the Egyptian army launched an attack in an effort to regain the lands that where occupied by Israel in 1967.

parts of the occupied Syrian land was returned including 'Qunaitirah' in the 'Jolan' Heights and international forces were deployed in the area.

It was never Britain's decision to create a Jewish homeland in the territory referred to as Palestine. The League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations, created the mandate and gave it to Britain to administer. Britain then violated its mandate by giving 80% of the land set out to be the Jewish homeland to the Arabs.

It is the name of a region in northern Israel. In Hebrew, it suggests waves (galim), which in turn is based upon a rolling motion (galgel), since waves describe a circular movement. Looking south from the Galileean hills, one sees rolls of hills further south on clear days, which look like waves.

Where it is now: it hasn't moved.

The Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, often called the Israeli Independence War by Israeli sympathizers and the Nakba or Catastrophe by Arab sympathizers.

The city of Jerusalem is currently under Israeli sovereignty. However, the Old City is disputed between Israel and Palestine because of the ceasefire-line in 1949.
