Israel

As a general rule people who hate a particular race, religion or creed do so because of fear or ignorance. It is also encouraged by people with an agenda against that group, using propaganda, half truths and lies. Hatred also underlies much violence in the world. If people stopped exerting so much energy toward hating people who are different, they might just have the energy to rebuild this world to be a happier place.

This is the general idea, but the are several more concrete reasons spelled out in the Related Question below.

Einstein. He rejected it because, although he supported the State of Israel, he did not believe that he had any propensity to help manage politics. He said that people were far more confusing that physics.

No. For most of the last 2,000 years, the Jews in Palestine were a repressed minority (or on occasion a repressed majority). Probably the most bloody period for Jews in Palestine was during the Crusades when Christian leaders slaughtered numerous Jews, especially in Jerusalem. However, Jews suffered other calamities in Palestine, such as the destruction of both Great Temples and the exile of significant portions of the Jewish population.

There has never been a conflict that involved Israel and was called "the 7 day war".

If we search modern history, we can find one that's close, and may well be the one you're

thinking of. It took place in 1967, and is commonly referred to as the "Six Day War".

Israel did capture the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt during that conflict. At the close of

hostilities, their control extended as far as the Suez Canal, and stopped there.

The entire Sinai Peninsula was returned to Egyptian control under the terms of the

1979 Egypt/Israel Peace Treaty.

Israel's total area is about 8,019 square miles.

Due to the 1967 6 day war between Israel and a coalition of Arab States, the end result was enlarging the size of Israel.

Israel has always seen implementing civil law in the Palestinian Territories as implicitly annexing the Palestinian Territories. The implications of annexing the Palestinian Territories would be that Israel would be compelled to grant the Palestinians citizenship in Israel and this would effectively make Israel another Arab State similar to Lebanon. When Israel annexed the Golan Heights to bring it under civil law, citizenship was offered to the Syrian Druze who lived there. However, the Syrian Druze were a small population who did not threaten the Jewish majority of Israel. In order to preserve its primarily Jewish identity, Israel has decided to leave the West Bank under martial law.

Additionally, by leaving the territory consistently under martial law, Israel demonstrates that it evinces a serious intent about the possibility of returning the territory to a Palestinian State. This is because a martial system does not create a strong infrastucture.

Israel has many religious sites which Islam considers "Waqf" - Religious property of the nation of Islam. The land itself is mentioned as the place Muslims brought the children of Israel (the man, not the country) to when they fled the egyptians after years of slavery. The holiest of these sites is the temple mount. Muslims refer to it as Al-Harram Al-Shariff and it is the third most holy site in the Muslim faitih after Makkah and Madinah. It is the last place Mohammad visited on earth to pray before he went up to the seat of god and discussed the amount of daily prayers with him. A prayer in the temple mount is equal to five hundred prayers without according to Muslim belief.

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the interpertation of the Qur'an - Islam's holy scriptures. The point of debate is that the exact location of the prophet's place of prayer is not mentioned specifically. The common interpertation of the words "bait al-makdas" is that they derive from the Hebrew words "beit hamikdash", which was the temple King Solomon built for the people of Israel on the temple mount in Jerusalem. The point of debate is that Jerusalem is never explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an and the verse which pertains to the prophet's visit in Jerusalem mentions "The Extreme (distance) Mosque". Only the Hadith (Interpertation of the scriptures) links this reference with the Jewish holy site. The literal meaning could denote any mosque.

There are many conjectures as to why this interpertation was chosen including the motivation to eradicate the Jewish people who wouldn't turn faith and a motivation to empower Jerusalem's holiness in Islam as a political move to weaken Makkah's holiness during the rule of the Umaya Dynasty, when a revolt against the ruling family took Makkah over completely.

It depends on the particular conflict, but the two territories most in contention between the Israelis and Palestinians are the Gaza Strip and the West Bank (including East Jerusalem). There is much contention between Israelis and Syrians over the Golan Heights and between Israelis and Lebanese there is some contention over the Shebaa Farms and the area south of the Litani River.

the nazi went crazy and took it out on everyone that wasnt German. they took it out on Jews metal people and dum people to and everyone that were diffenent and that had something wrong with themselfs

Since no timeframe was given to this question, it is difficult to give a definitive answer, but the trends in religion are clear. If we restrict Israel to the 1949 borders that it retained after the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, the following becomes apparent.

During the Biblical Age, Ancient Israel and Modern Israel did not territorially overlap save for the areas around Jerusalem and North Israel. The Tel Aviv area (where over 1/3 of Israelis now live) was under Canaanite control. The Negev area (roughly 45% of modern Israel) was also outside of Israelite control. The Canaanite tribes were heavily influenced (religiously) by the nearby, powerful Empires of Ancient Egypt and the Mesopotamian Civilizations. They had polytheistic blends with some Egyptian gods, many more Mesopotamian gods, and a few gods of their own.

After Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered Babylon (which by this point had conquered all of Modern Day Israel), the official state religion changed to Zoroastrianism (a Persian religion). However, there was no major drive to convert people to Zoroastrianism, so populations on the ground retained their beliefs. In addition, Cyrus allowed the Jewish communities which had been deported in Babylon rebuild the Great Temple, solidifying a Jewish presence in the land.

During the late Greek and Roman periods of occupation, Judaism was the primary religion and its competition with Hellenistic culture prompted the rise of extremist orders. After defeating an order of Jewish zealots, the Romans spread the Jewish people across the Roman Empire to stop similar movements from gaining traction. This meant that the Jewish population of the territory decreased substantially and left room for polythiestic Romans, Zoroastrian Persians, and many Mesopotamians and Egyptians to enter the land. (Considering the ethnic makeup of that territory - there was no substantial, noticeable migration from any of these places.)

When Rome became a Christian Empire, there was some conversion to Christianity in the territory of Modern Day Israel, but Israel never became a strongly Christian center like Tunisia or Italy. The next major change in religion came during the conquest of the territory by the Caliph Umar who brought a large influx of Arabs into the territory. Most non-Jews and non-Christians converted to Islam rather quickly, while the other monothiestic communities converted more slowly. Although this pattern was interrupted by the establishment of the Christian Crusader States in the early 1000s, Islam typically increased traction over this timeframe.

The major shift towards Judaism reasserting itself as the dominant religion came during the period of the British Mandate when great numbers of Jews in a concerted effort began to buy and settle the land occupied overwhelmingly by Arab who are retroactively considered Palestinians. By the end of World War II, when the future of the British Mandate of Palestine was to be put to a UN vote, Jews had risen from less than 5% of the territory's occupants to nearly 40%. As a result, a Jewish state in the territory was a viable option. During the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, many Palestinians were displaced because of Jewish raids on Arab villages, the fear that additional villages would be raided, and the Arab propaganda machine which encouraged people to leave and wait for Israel to be destroyed and then to come back. David Ben-Gurion declared, after the war had ended in Israel's favor, that these former inhabitants could not return to Israel. Thus, the percentage of Jews in those borders rose more. Currently Jews make up 80% of Israel's citizenry and the number has remained more or less in that position for Israel's history since 1948.

However, many people still count the Palestinian refugees who wish to live in the territory of Israel, but cannot due to Ben-Gurion's policy of non-admittance, in which case, the percentage of Jews can drop anywhere from 60% to as low as 30% depending on which groups are considered to be refugees.

The "name" Israel is not explicitly banned in Qatar, but since Qatar does not recognize the State of Israel, it is a very good idea not to talk about it. Qatar does not have true freedom of speech and as a result the usage of the word "Israel" without a good context could cause problems for the utterer.
