Israel

Traditional chronology places the lifetime of Samuel in the 9th century BCE.

More about Samuel:

1) He served as Judge (1 Samuel 7:15) and leader. Each year, he traveled in order to teach and serve as Judge (1 Samuel 7:16) in the various places. 2) He guided the people when they requested that a king be appointed (1 Samuel ch.8); and he appointed Saul and later King David, at the word of God (1 Samuel ch.9-10 and ch.16). 3) He wrote the Books of Ruth and Judges (Talmud, Bava Batra 14b) and the Book of Samuel (until the verse concerning his death; it was completed by another prophet. Talmud, ibid).

4) He led the people in a great movement of repentance (1 Samuel ch.7).

5) Until his time, prophecy had been relatively rare (1 Samuel 3:1). Starting with his leadership, the phenomenon of the "sons (disciples) of the Prophets" (2 Kings 2:3) became a regular institution, and very many people reached the various levels of prophecy (Talmud, Megillah 14a) (though only fifty-five prophets were commanded to record their words for posterity. Ibid).

One box (20 ciggies) costs between 25 and 32 shekels, depending on the brand. The current shekel-dollar rate is 3.5 shekels per dollar (Oct. 16, 2017). Let me take this opportunity to encourage cessation of smoking.

After Solomon's death, the people approached his son Rehav'am (Rehoboam) and asked that he now lower the tax. He ignored the counsel of his elder advisers and refused the people's request. This led the Ten Tribes to turn away from him (1 Kings ch.12).

The two new kingdoms were called Judah and Israel.

Eventually, Israel was conquered by Assyria, and Judah was exiled to Babylon by the Babylonians a century later.

Seven million EVERY day or 3 billion ,yes 3 billion every year. To this add arms "gifts" worth many many millions and an entire fleet of "surplus F16 fighter jets " by Dov Zakheim, the Pentagon's chief financial officer and prime architect of the Defense Department's self-styled fiscal transformation under the bush administration. This year we will give an additional 3 billion IRON DOME anti missile system.

In addition, when Dov Zakheim was comptroller at the pentagon, the Pentagon could not account for a trillion dollars in monies spent, and US Army lost track of 56 airplanes, 32 tanks, and 36 Javelin missile command launch-units.

(Just to put this in perspective of the Federal Budget, the money sent to Israel makes up less than 0.01% of all Federal Expenditure.)

Atra Kadisha is a religious Israeli organization whose activists work to prevent desecration of graves, such as when new highways are built.

1) They originated in the northern Fertile Crescent.

2) Abraham took his immediate family to Canaan (Israel) at God's command (Genesis 12).

3) The Israelite clan migrated to Egypt because of famine (Genesis 46).

4) The Israelite nation journeyed from Egypt to Canaan over a forty-year period following the Exodus and as instructed by God (Exodus 12, Numbers 14, Deuteronomy 1).

5) The Ten Israelite Tribes were exiled by the Assyrians to points now unknown, because of their disobedience to God.

6) The Tribe of Judah (Jews) were forcibly exiled to Babylonia following the First Destruction (1 Kings ch.17) because they had slipped somewhat from their earlier righteousness.

7) Many (not all) of the Jews returned to Judea (Israel) after the seventy-year Babylonian exile.

8) The present Diaspora began after the Second Destruction at the hands of Rome.

To reach a cease-fire between Israel and the Arab nations, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger engaged in "Shuttle Diplomacy", acting as the intermediary between the two sides.

EGYPT is the only country that borders Israel to the West and only borders Israel on the southern half of its Western border. The Gaza Strip, a self-ruling Palestinian territory, also borders Egypt, but Egypt has kept the border closed for some time now.

Hatikvah can be sung in any key that's comfortable for the soloist or audience.

Jews and Arabs in Israel often live apart due to a combination of historical, political, and social factors. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has fostered divisions, with ongoing tensions influencing residential patterns. Additionally, the establishment of Jewish and Arab communities has been shaped by government policies, land ownership, and socio-economic disparities, leading to segregation in many areas. Cultural differences and mutual mistrust further contribute to the separation of these communities.

Since the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, the Palestinian people have largely considered themselves a stateless nation. They seek recognition of their rights to self-determination and statehood, particularly in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Additionally, the Kurdish people, spread across regions in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria, have also identified as a stateless nation, pursuing autonomy and recognition of their cultural and national identity.

NO. Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, is the largest city in Turkey, not Greece.

Unavoidable, no, it can be avoided, such as has been demonstrated by the Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli Peace Agreements. However, we are talking about an intractable conflict, meaning that there is a lot of mental, physical, and political investment on both sides of the conflict to achieving their aims that the will to avoid conflict is minimal. In terms of achieving peace in the Arab-Israeli Conflict, a number of things would have to take place before a long-standing peace (as opposed to a mere cessation of hostilities) could take place. There are other requisites, but there are the most important.

1) Mutual Recognition: Israel would need to recognize a completely independent and sovereign Palestinian Government that would fully control a certain amount of the former British Mandate of Palestine (most likely Gaza and the West Bank). Israel would also have to confer on this state the unambiguous nature of being correct and necessary for Israel. Conversely, Palestine would have to recognize the Right for Israel to Exist as a Jewish State occupying the remaining amount of the British Mandate of Palestine (most likely 1949-Israel). Both sides would have to recognize the historical and emotional value that the land also has to the other.

2) Regional/International Recognition: States that have adopted attitudes strongly favoring one side at the expense of the other, such as the Arab States would need to recognize the legitimacy of both Israel and Palestine.

3) Israeli Reparation Payments: Israel dispossessed many Palestinians of their property, either by malicious activities that took place during the Arab-Israeli Wars or by Ben-Gurion refusing to let Palestinians who left return after the 1948-9 War. Israel needs to pay the Palestinian government reparations for the land that was taken in this way.

4) Israeli Withdrawal from the Settlements: Israel must withdraw from the Settlements to provide Palestine with a viable infrastructure and complete sovereignty. The Settlers must return to Israeli territory. The buildings, however, should be left as partial payment of the above-mentioned reparations.

5) Palestinians Must Concede Right of Return:Recognizing the State of Israel as a Jewish State is meaningless if Palestinians en masse are allowed to Return to Israel. Therefore, Palestinians (and their backers) must abandon the notion that they can ever return to Israeli territory. Palestinians should leave the refugee camps and become proper citizens in this new country of Palestine.

6) Jerusalem Must Be Shared or Internationalized:Palestine and Israel both want Jerusalem and the only way to solve this is either divide the city East/West respectively and divide the Old City or Internationalize the City or some combination of Internationalization and division. Neither side will rest until it can assure its followers that its holy sites will be protected.

7) Liberal Thought: Just in general, people have to be willing to compromise and live with that compromise.

President Anwar Sadat of Egypt decided that he would make peace with Israel to recover the Sinai Peninsula rather than risk another war.

Egypt's. The Egyptians had been preparing to attack Israel.

There is a greater terrorist threat in the eastern part of the city. They need to demonstrate their presence. There may also be a legal or technical consideration.

It gives Jews worldwide automatic citizenship should they come to live in Israel.

The Law of Return of 1950 is a Basic Law in Israel. The Basic Laws in Israel function very similarly to a Constitution, but are less organized. The Law of Return was modeled after similar laws in operation in other nation-states, especially those like Greece that figured that a significant portion of the ethnic group would live outside of the borders of the new state.

What the law does it that it allows any Jew in the world who immigrates to Israel to immediately gain Israeli citizenship with all the benefits of that citizenship.

Yes, it does.
