Israel

In a sense, yes. Moses was commanded by God to write a copy of the law (Torah) as seen in Exd. 24:4 and before his death, Moses stated to the elders in Deut. 27:2-3 to write the words of the law to take with them into the promised land. The priests were the keepers of the writings, and it was commanded in Deut. 17:18 that all future kings were to write a copy of Torah with their own hands and govern according to it.

There is no place in Israel called Joppa. There is however an old, beautiful important city named Jaffa (Yafo in Hebrew, Yaffa in Arabic). It's located on the shore of the Mediterranean sea on the south of Tel Aviv. Jaffa is mentioned in the bible as the city from which Jonah started his journey from. It has been an independent city till 1948, and it's a part of Tel Aviv since then.

It is the location of the events and stories of the Hebrew Bible.

The Golan Heights is administered by the Israeli government due to UNSC Resolutions 242 & 338/339 - the armistices of 1967 and 1973 between Israel and Syria among others. However, the annexation of the Golan Heights to Israel and its incorporation into the Northern District of Israel in 1981 is considered illegal in international law.

No. The AID to Israel is as helpful for the US as it is for Israel.

The question of US funding in Israel is primarily for military hardware. The US does not provide economic aid to Israel. First, the US Aid to Israel makes up about 0.03% of the US GDP. To put that in perspective, it would pay for around a week in Iraq or half-a-day of Social Security. Additionally, 80% of the money earmarked for Israel can only be spent by Israel on US-produced weapons. This means that the money appropriated for Israel mostly goes to support US firms and US jobs, making it a win-win for both Israel and the US. This is aside from the fact that numerous recent technological innovations in both military and civilian technology have come to the US from Israel, providing economic gains that more than offset the remaining 20%.

Some of the more hilly and mountainous regions of Israel have snow during the winter months, but while the winter is colder than the summer, it is not substantially colder (in contrast to more temperate areas).

I am not sure what you mean by home of the Hebrews, but I am assuming you are

referring to where Hebrew is spoken and am there for answering that.

Hebrew is spoken all over the world (primarily in Jewish communities) and the country

that has Hebrew as one of its official languages is Israel.

Israel is a country whose population comprises people with roots in around

140 countries. Most families, whether consciously or not, brought their national

cuisine with them.

A very old Romanian Jewish song says "Voos du'vst vellen vest du dorten kriegen." ...

a statement that could hardly be more true of food in Israel: "Whatever you desire,

you'll find it there."

Israel is about 75% Jewish and 25% other religions, including Islam and Christianity.

The two official languages are Hebrew and Arabic.

The State of Israel has a population of approximately 8,146,800 inhabitants as of 2014. 75.3% are Jewish (about 6,110,000 individuals), 16% are Muslim (about 1,300,000 inhabitants), while the remaining 8.7% (about 700,000 individuals) include: Christians (2%), Druze (1.5%), residents who do not have a religious classification (4%), and family members of Jewish immigrants who were not registered at the Interior Ministry as Jews.

In an Israeli single phase system the hot wire (live) is brown, the neutral (0V) is blue and the ground is green with a yellow tracer. In older installations the hot is red and the neutral is black. However occasionally these colors aren't exact. For example you may see brown and black wires. In this case the brown is the hot.

You should always verify the wiring especially if the standard colors (blue, brown, and green with a yellow stripe) are not present.

It is important to note that "Europe" didn't create Israel. Israel was created in 1948 by its own leaders and citizens. What European leaders did through the United Nations was to provide the legal legitimacy for the Jews to declare a State. There are several reasons why they felt this way.

1) Be Gone & Good Riddance: (written by someone else) Many nations looked on with favor and relief, assuming that all Jews would eventually migrate there, and the nations would finally be rid of them. But even that fond hope was not enough for most Muslim nations, who bitterly opposed the creation of Israel, and after 64 years, still do.

2) Holocaust Pity: The Holocaust bore out two major truths as concerned the Jewish people. The first was that without a government loyal to their interests, they could easily be targeted against and brutally murdered. The second major truth was that such an event was no longer a hypothetical since 6 million Jews were intentionally mass-murdered by what had previously been seen as one of the most progressive modern countries: Germany.

3) Middle East Control: Although it seems odd to say it today, both the United States and the Soviet Union believed that Israel could be converted to "their side" in the Cold War. Given that any Jewish State in the Arab World would be isolated, it would be natural for such a state to create a strategic relationship with one of the major powers. Additionally, a Jewish State might be able to influence neighboring Arab states and make them more pliant as concerns oil shipments. Both the USA and USSR supported the Creation of the State of Israel for these strategic reasons.

4) Because It's the Right Thing to Do: There was certainly support for a Jewish State because some just saw it as the proper thing to return Palestine to the Jews. Churchill, who was no longer Prime Minister, held many pro-Zionist views out of respect for the Jews and their contribution to that region of the world.

5) Diplomatic Pressure: Both the United States and Soviet Union pressured their allies and third world countries to support the United Nations Resolution. This does not make the vote any less valid, but is worth noting.

Yes. The United States was the first government to declare Israel as a sovereign nation. Alabama fell first in the voting order among the states to recognize Israel's sovereignty.

Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics population report for 24th April 2007 states that there were approximately 5,415,000 Jews, 1,425,000 Arabs (Muslims and Christians)and 310,000 others. The 'other' proportion appear to be persons who entered Israel as Jews but since declared themselves to be atheists. The proportion of Jews is slightly over 75%.

The Stella Maris is a 19th century monastery in Mount Carmel, Israel. It was established in 1631 and is also referred to as Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Typically helmet bags are used to store field dressings. American paratroopers tended to tape their field dressings at the front of their helmet for quick access if they were wounded. It could also be used to store the main unit and batteries for a helmet radio.

That majority of people in Israel wear clothing that is no different from the Western world. Clothing in Israel tends to be very casual compared to Europe and America.

As with the southwester region of the United States, the northern states in Mexico, the countries of the Sahara, and towns that border the Atacama desert in South America, in short as with all desert places of the world, water is ridiculously expensive. When I used to be a Muslim, a Saudi I knew bitterly complained that in Saudi Arabia "oil is cheaper than water." Many Saudis are bitter because, although the government there has invested in desalination plants, they haven't done enough, nor have they even looked into newer technologies. Saudi Arabians drive fancy cars, but they're thirsty, so its hard to enjoy those fancy cars let me put it that way. Just how precious is water? Some of the most beautiful modern luxury homes in existence, are the ones from Mercer island in Seattle Washington. The reason they are so nice, is because Seattleans LOVE Japan, or they tend to anyway, and all things Japanese, thus, a lot of the luxury houses there combine western with zen architecture, creating a really beautiful look. The "zen" style of house design I believe had its origins in Seattle Washington, among wealthy people it has become all the rage, they love it because its beautiful, yet simple. Imagine, if someone just GAVE YOU a place like that to live but there was one catch; there was no fresh watere ANYWHERE. Would you live there? Its the most beautiful house in the world why not? See? That is why many Saudi Arabians, generally dislike their own country; although the Al-Saud monarchy has untold trillions in their coffers, they do not invest ANY of that in water. What good is having a high government stipend, and a near luxurious, "spoiled rotten" living standard if water is expensive as hell? The biggest problem in the near east throughout its history from ancient times until now, and in all actuality the main cause behind most of its wars, has been water. No sooner did Israel dump raw sewage, among other wastes, into the water supply of Palestinians, that the Arabs started firing katoosha rockets at them. Someone does that here in America, its just a lawsuit, do it in the near east though and someone will try to kill you. One of the things the Al-Saud are infamous for, is their extravagant water fountains. Obviously, all over the world, one of the ways the wealthy show off their wealth is by displaying goods that are difficult to get. In Japan for example, there are plenty of cute, and sometimes, drop dead gorgeous women, thus, a man with a beautiful woman in his arm is nothing special. Now, a man with a beautiful white BLONDE in his arm, HE, is successful. Obviously blondes don't exist in Japan, so they, well, kind of stand out. Does water cost anything in Israel or Jordan? Hold out your arm for me *pulling out a machete here* *SWIPE!* There; here's a water bottle for you half full. Okay its not THAT bad but, just giving you an idea.
