Is Israel in the Global South?
No. Israel is in the Global North. It is one of the few post-colonial countries to have joined the Global North.
What impact did Hitler's Final Solution have on the creation of the State of Israel?
The Holocaust in general and the Final Solution in particular proved to rest of the world what the Jews already knew which is that Anti-Semitism was pervasive enough to result in mass genocide. It was this realization which forced Western Powers to begrudgingly support the Zionist Dream of Creating the State of Israel in the International Legal Arena.
What is the state of Arab-Israeli relations today?
Arab-Israeli relations remain quite poor. Jordan's government maintains official relations with Israel, but most Jordanians are not sympathetic to this. Egypt's relationship with Israel is even more distant. The remainder of the Arab World refuses to even recognize Israel on terms that Israel would ever accept. (Arab proposals would require Palestinian immigration to Israel to make it an Arab-majority state.)
How do you make a snorunt evovle into a galilee?
To evolve Snorunt into Glalie, you need to level it up to level 42. Once it reaches this level, it will automatically evolve into Glalie. If you're looking to evolve Snorunt into its other form, Froslass, you'll need to use a Dawn Stone on a female Snorunt instead.
Which is better a Classic Colt 1911 or a desert eagle?
In my opinion the Colt M1911 is the better of the two even though the M1911 shoots a .45 ACP. The Desert Eagle is not a practical weapon because it can shoot a .50 cal. bullet and has a lot of recoil. Don't judge weapons by playing stupid Call of Duty. They know nothing about weapons.
Is israel democratic or authoritarian?
Israel is democratic. The national and local governments actually run things,
the representatives to the national and local governments are popularly
elected by all of the country's citizens, and citizenship includes Jews, Muslims,
Christians, Baha'i, atheists, men, and women, whether or not they own land.
Who says Jews anywhere in the world can immigrate to Israel?
Israel says that, according to the Law of Return of 1950, which specifically states that anyone certified as being Jewish can freely immigrate to and become a citizen of Israel.
Many other countries have similar laws for their dominant ethnicity, such as Germany for Germans, Turkey for Turks, Armenia for Armenians, Lithuania for Litvaks, and Latvia for the Lettish.
What is a 500 israel sheqalim bill worth?
There is, as yet (2013), no such thing. It's planned but hasn't yet been put in circulation.

What are the drawbacks to becoming an israeli citizen?

Is the Arab Spring conflict the same as the Arab-Israeli Conflict?
No.
The Arab Spring is the outcome of a number of repressive policies against Arab citizens from their own governments. This anger was fomenting in the Arab populaces (at different rates in different countries) pretty much since the Independence Movements secured the European Colonizers' retreat. The reason the Arab Spring did not happen earlier is that most Arabs did not believe that they had the power to overthrow their governments. The ouster of Zine Abidine ben Ali in Tunisia changed that view and encouraged Arabs in different states to revolt against their leadership. The Arab Spring will probably, like most revolutionary movements, be time-bound from late 2010 to 2015 or so.
The Arab-Israeli Conflict is a long-standing fight between the Arab Nations' Governments (in concert with their populations' desires) and the Israeli Government (in concert with its populations' desires) over the future of the territory formerly known as the British Mandate of Palestine. It is a conflict over how much of that territory (if any) should belong to a Jewish State, how much of that territory (if any) should belong to an Arab State, and various secondary issues that inflame the issue. The Arab-Israeli Conflict is an international, but governments-led confrontation that will continue for many more years.
Now, this is not to say that the change in government that comes about as a result of the Arab Spring will not affect the Arab-Israeli Conflict. The strongest change will most likely be the ending of the Egyptian-Israeli Alliance that Mubarak maintained. (This is not to say that Egypt will reneg on the Peace of 1979, but that they will not coordinate military policies with Israel.)

What did Jesus accomplish in the wilderness that Israel could not?
Jesus fasted in the desert for 40 days.
Answer:Jesus' successful resistance of temptation in the desert after 40 days of fasting is a direct typological contrast with the disobedience of the Israelites that resulted in their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. In remaining faithful to His Father, Jesus did what Israel was unable to do.

When were Joseph Mary and baby Jesus to return to Israel?
In Matthew's Gospel, Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus fled from Bethlehem in Judea to Egypt for fear of King Herod, who sought to have Jesus killed. They began the return journey to their home in Bethlehem after the death of Herod but, being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to a city called Nazareth, in Galilee. This return journey would have taken place sometime between 4 BCE and 6 CE - after the death of Herod and before the Romans deposed his son and successor, Archelaus.
In Luke's Gospel, there was no flight to Egypt. It seems that the family never returned to Bethlehem, but did travel each year from Nazareth to Jerusalem in Judea, for the Passover.
No, it's false. There's no such thing as a shrine to a human being in Judaism.
Rather, the tribes of Israel, as their name implies, are all one family: the descendants of Israel, who is identical with Jacob (Genesis ch.35). And they maintained a connection through the Torah and Abraham's traditions, which were the national inheritance.
