Israel

It is absolutely necessary for every male Israelite to be circumcised. The circumcision of every male was the sign which proved there was an everlasting promise between God and Abraham. God promised to give Abraham many descendants; he also promised to be the God of Abraham and his descendants forever and to give them the land of Canaan: "I will give you many descendants, and some of them will be kings. You will have so many descendants that they will become nations. I will keep my promise to you and to your descendants in future generations as an everlasting covenant. I will be your God and the God of your descendants. I will give to you and your descendants this land in which you are now a foreigner. The whole land of Canaan will belong to your descendants forever, and I will be their God." (Genesis 17:6-8). Abraham was obligated to keep this promise: 'God said to Abraham, "You also must agree to keep the covenant with me, both you and your descendants in future generations. (Genesis 17:9). How was Abraham to keep this promise? By circumcising every male: "You and your descendants must all agree to circumcise every male among you. From now on you must circumcise every baby boy when he is eight days old, including slaves born in your homes and slaves bought from foreigners. This will show that there is a covenant between you and me. Each one must be circumcised, and this will be a physical sign to show that my covenant with you is everlasting." (Genesis 17:10-13). THE IMPORTANCE OF CIRCUMCISION IS THIS... If an Israelite male is NOT circumcised, he will not be considered one of God's people: "Any male who has not been circumcised will no longer be considered one of my people, because he has not kept the covenant with me." (Genesis 17:14). The Israelites of today have a lot to learn about the importance of circumcision. Unfortunately, many of them mistakenly believe that circumcision isn't necessary, but the scriptures prove otherwise. (Scriptures taken from the 'Sunrise Good News Bible')

Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of Jehovah the God Israel. Furthermore, the birth of Jesus had been foretold by the old testament Prophet Isaiah; in the book of Isaiah 7:14. And in the new testament Matthew 1:18 23, it refers to this prophesy as it gives detail account of the birth of Jesus stating that The Holy Spirit of God was how Jesus was conceived.

Israel's population of about 7.8 million (2011) is more than that of Washington state,

less than that of New Jersey, and closest to that of Virginia.

On the list I used, correct as of 2010 . . .

-- There are 12 US states that are each more populous than Israel, and 38 that are less.

-- Israel's population is about equal to the sum of the populations of the eight least populous states.

-- Israel's population is about 21% of California's, or 31% of Texas', or 40% of New York's,

or 41% of Florida's, or 61% of Illinois' or Pennsylvania's, or 81% of Georgia's.

only the Citizens, at least 18 years old may vote.

(That includes Jewish men and women who are citizens, Muslim men and women

who are citizens, Christian men and women who are citizens, Druze men and

women who are citizens, Arab/Palestinian men and women who are citizens.

But the law is very restrictive ... they have to be 18 years old.)

No, they are not the same; they come from different countries;

-Israelites [ie the Jews] come from Israel.

-Assyrians come from Assyria .

(This is an ancient kingdom of Mesopotamia that stretched from Egypt to the Persian Gulf, and reached it's greatest extent between 721bc and 633BC.)

Originally, Jerusalem was built by the Canaanites, the name the people in what is now named Israel/The West Bank, were given, although, the truth is, the Canaanites were Phoenician. From Lebanon, down to the Sinai desert, or the border of the Sinai where Israel meets Egypt, part of modern day western Syria, and a small piece of western Jordan, that whole area, was once known as Phoenicia, which in Greek means "land of the red people." Oh yeah, and of course the whole of Israel. Jerusalem, was originally a vitally important trade route for the Phoenicians, which connected them to the ancient silk and spice roads. The silk road is much older than you think you know; it dates back, easily, to the time of the first kingdoms of ancient Egypt. We know, China's "mythic" Yellow Emperor, is not a myth, because, what was that country India and Egypt both talked about well beyond their borders, far to the east? I'm just saying, China is a lot older than you think, much older than what communist propaganda says; the PRC government, does not want the people of China thinking of a Utopic past, they want them remembering the past of the King of Qin, the dictator past. You figure out why that is. Shifting the subject back to Israel; Jerusalem, connected both to the silk road which did indeed go to China, and the spice road, specifically the camel caravan roads which went down to the kingdom of Yemen, a kingdom that was wealthy in ancient times from sea faring, and trading with India. Originally, it was a Phoenician city, until King David conquered it, and then made it his capital. The original, Phoenician Jerusalem was destroyed by David, absolutely everything, and a new one was built in its place. David's Jerusalem, had walls where many of the boulders weigh well over 50 tons. Foundation stone, some of them weigh up to 500 tons, and it is 50 to 500 tons mind, of solid granite. Jerusalem's walls, were never successfully breached by any human enemy; the only time in the city's history, where its walls were breached, was during an earthquake, which occured in 70 A.D., the year Rome put down a Jewish revolt. Both the Ottomans, and Napoleon, fired cannon balls at the walls, and all they did was chip them. Later on those same walls endured artillery shells by the Turks in WWI, yet, even more artillery by the British, who sometimes shot the walls for fun, and yet, the walls stood defiantly. During Israel's wars from 1948 until now, it has seen its share of bombs, and yet not even modern artillery can crack it. Much of the stone is buried underground, however one fact is well known, is the strength of Jerusalem's walls; no human enemy, and this is true, has ever breached them. There are some Rabbis, who hold the view that Jerusalem's walls are symbolic of the bloodline of King David, and David himself; the walls, are ever defiant, even as history passes by. Even as tyranny holds sway over Israel, the bloodline of David, remains ever defiant. You can not crack Jerusalem's wall, any more than you can crack a descendant of David. The only one with the power to break Jerusalem's wall, is God. Don't forget it. Also, buried is not the same as broken! Jerusalem though, David's Jerusalem, was burned to the ground; because invading armies of various empires could not fight them out, throughout the city's history, its residents always had to be starved out. Alexander the Great, Trajan's armies, the Babylonians, the Assyrians, and finally the Romans, they all had to starve them out. The only army that actually entered Jerusalem was Rome, and they were let in by an earthquake, not their catapults. Jews saw it as a horrible omen, and felt that God had abandoned them, that is why when the dust settled, most gave up without a fight, and the only resistance left where the zealots who holed up at Masada. The Jerusalem of today, is not David's Jerusalem; it was destroyed by the Romans stone for stone. The architecture of the so-called old city, even, more closely ressembles a small Italian town, than it does a middle eastern city, and yes there IS a difference.

Israel is immediately bounded by several countries. If proceeding clockwise from due North, Israel borders: Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority under Fatah control, more Jordan, the Gulf of Aqaba, Egypt, the Palestinian Authority under Hamas control, and the Mediterranean Sea. And Saudi Arabia is only about 15 miles across the Gulf of Aqaba.

But it's fair to say that only Jordan and Egypt can be (barely) considered as "neighbors". The other border-states are not terribly friendly to Israel.

The Bible (II Samuel) recounts that first the Ark of Covenant it was in the Tabernacle at Shilo after which it was captured by the Philistines and subsequently returned where it stayed a while in Bet Shemesh and then in the houses of various individuals. Eventually King David brought it to Jerusalem.

The USA is the main export partner. A lot of farm products go to Europe.

Palestinian Arabs fled Palestine after the establishment of Israel.

No, silly :P They have foods that are common in the mediterranean, like olives, wheat, chickpeas, dairy products, fish, and vegetables like tomatoes, eggplants, and zucchini.. stuff like that. No frog legs. I can imagine someone might've looked at all the greens, and made up a rumor that there's frog in it, but there isn't any lol.

Israel was inherited by the Children of Israel shortly after the Exodus from Egypt in 1450 B.C.E. ...

some 3,400 years ago. There has been a continuous Jewish presence in the land since then.

The origin of a "Palestine" is more difficult to pin down. One authoritative "History of Palestine"

dates it from the Ottoman conquest of the area.

no delta force has lead us to victory many times

No motorcycle is manufactured in Israel. There is a custom bike shop that is trying to get a license from the office of Israeli transportation minister.

The state of Israel was founded in 1948.
