How many people lived in Bethlehem in 3 BC?
There is no existing census of the size of the town of Bethlehem in 3 BC. It is estimated that several hundred people lived there at that time.
Do they have arranged marriages in israel?
Not always.
Another answer:There are various levels of "arranged". To have a marriage in which the young couple had no say in it (as is done in certain other cultures) is rare in Judaism, since the Halakha forbids it. Rather, the parents and matchmaker try to present their son/daughter with what they believe will be a good spouse; and the final decision is in the hands of the youngsters themselves. It is well-known that divorce rates are lower in these circumstances.Zip code for ramat beit shemesh?

What types of weapons did people in israel use?
To answer this question we have to look at whether we are discussing modern
or ancient Israel.
In ancient Israel: Bows, slings, spears and bronze and steel swords.
Modern Israel has some of the most high-tech weaponry. Due to the gritty
nature of the environment they fight in, all their weapons tend to have very
low rates of misfire. Add to this a society where everyone spends some time
in the military and the reserve, and you have a potent military.
The Uzi was their first automatic weapon and is still considered one of the top
machine pistols and is used by many countries' secret services.
The Merkava is the current IDF tank and is built not only for desert service
but also crew survivability. This owes to the engine being mounted in the front,
acting as extra armor and a set of escape doors in the back that let the crew
out of the tank without having to expose themselves by climbing over the top.
The Tavor is the replacement for their aging NATO 5.56 weapon. Most who
have shot it say it takes no time to learn and is extremely accurate.
The Israel Defense Force also has an air wing currently flying F-15, F-16,
Apache and Cobra but will be adding the F-35 and several new aircraft as they
come online.
In short the IDF is a thoroughly modern armed force and this is just a short list
of the many weapons they use. The greatest weapon that Israel has and has
always had are the people of Israel, and, many say, the protection of an even
higher power.
Why does the Islamic World hate Israel?
1) Just like there are pro-Israel lobbyists and publicists, so too there is also a vast machinery of anti-Israel ranting and rhetoric. Many anti-Israel media twist the facts in their reporting, which is part of the reason why the U.N. and E.U. are biased against Israel. For example, when a terrorist is shot while hurling a firebomb at Israelis, biased sources will report the shooting only. When this kind of reporting happens often enough, some people get the notion that Israel is pure evil.
2) One facet of the desire to wipe out Israel, is plain anti-Semitism. 3) Harm that has been done to the Palestinians, is used as a reason for hatred of Israel, even though some of the harm is caused by people who are not Israelis. For example, some Middle Eastern countries are vastly wealthy, but studiously refrain from giving enough assistance to the Palestinians to improve their livelihood. Another example is Iran's support of terrorism, which creates a cycle in which Israel is forced to defend itself, and the defensive measures are used as an excuse for still more attacks. 4) Anything in Israel's favor is not reported by by biased media. People are unaware that tens of thousands of Palestinians are employed by Israelis. Israel supplies Gaza with electricity and built a hospital there. It purchases thousands of tons of Palestinian agricultural and other products, thus infusing them with much-needed currency. There are tens of other examples. Israel's enemies could lay down their weapons, and ask us directly: "Why hasn't Israel returned to its pre-1967 borders"? Then we could carry on a serious debate. And that issue is not one-sided.- When Israel's neighbors have pursued a policy of discussion and debate, solutions have been implemented, not only argued over. Israel pulled out of Sinai and gained a peace treaty with Egypt. A very cold peace, but a strategic and useful one.
- Israel made border-adjustments and water concessions to Jordan, and gained another cold but useful peace.
- The same process brought a treaty in May 17, 1983 with Lebanon but it was blocked by Syria.
- The same process was almost completed by Rabin and Arafat in 2000. They were at the treaty-signing table, having hammered out all the details. Then Yasser Arafat pulled out of the ceremony, and initiated the Second Intifada, loading the "Karin A" ship with tons of weapons for terror-use.
This despite the fact that Israel has better human-rights than any other country in the region.
Israel has been boycotted for decades, and its citizens have suffered from the conflict, yet it continues to be optimistic and it enjoys God's protection.
The presence of the Jews in Israel is questioned by some, despite the Jews' history in and from Israel, and despite God's clear words bestowing Israel to them. Words which are recognized by Islam as well.
Those who condemn and hate Israel for its side in the conflict, fail to apportion blame to Israel's enemies, no matter how heinous their actions.
How many people were killed in the genocide with Palestine and Israel?
There was no genocide in Palestine. This is hyperbole.
As for the amount of Palestinians (both militants and civilians) that have been killed by Israelis (in uniform or not), the number is probably close to 16,000 individuals. However, when you realize that the total Palestinian population is 4,000,000+ people (of which 1.5 million live peacefully in Israel), it becomes clear that there is no genocide.
Which Hebrew leader unified the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah?
One Answer
Israel and Judah were unified by King David. Saul did not rule over all Israel. This was prophesied:-
2Sa 3:10 [CEV] God said that he wouldn't let anyone in Saul's family ever be king again and that David would be king instead. He also said that David would rule both Israel and Judah, all the way from Dan in the north to Beersheba in the south.
The House of Judah followed David:-
2Sa 2:10 Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
After 7 years so did the House of Israel:-
1Ki 2:11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron [ie capital of house of Judah, which was only part of Israel] and thirty and threeyears reigned he in Jerusalem [ie capital of both house of Israel and of all Israel]
He ruled over all of Israel:-
1Ch 18:14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
Benjamin Netanyahu is known for being the Prime Minister of Israel. He was the Prime Minister from June 1996 until July 1999. In 2012 he was 23rd on Forbes list of powerful people.
What is the climate like in Israel in Jesus' time?
Honestly its like asking what the political climate was in Galilee they were under the same control but, The region was known for being a hotbed of political activity and some of it violent. Galilee had a tradition of political autonomy. The northern traditions that go into the Hebrew Bible are informed by this political sensibility of autonomy. It's a kind of quasi-anarchistic ideal, that this loose tribal confederacy is ruled directly by God.
Answer 1
Palestine is not recognized as an independent nation because it fails to reach the eight internationally accepted criteria necessary to attain that status. Therefore, it is not a member, but a permanent observer of the U.N.
Answer 2
There is no 'Palestine' country, so no the answer is no. The land formerly known as 'Palestine' was a British mandate. Most of that land is now Israel and Israel does have a seat in the United Nations although, due to politics has very limited power.
Answer 3
The majority of the former British Mandate of Palestine is occupied by Israel but the remaining 22%, called the West Bank and Gaza, declared independence in 1988. In the last democratic elections in Palestine, Hamas won the majority of seats in the Palestinian government called the Palestinian Legislative. However, the Legislature has been unable to meet and govern since 2007 due the majority of its members being imprisoned by Israel. It has applied for membership but its membership in the UN Security Council, but it was vetoed by the USA. Therefore, it is not a member, but was invited to have be a permanent observer of the U.N., and have a seat, but does not have any voting powers. The only other state that is permitted this privilege is the Holy See i.e. The Vatican.
Did the Israelis gain any land after the War of Independence?
Yes, the Israelis effectively gained the entire allotment of land that was given to the Palestinians by the United Nations in 1947.
This is a very ambiguous question. It really depends on where one stands politically. Arguments can be made for Israel being good or bad. However, it is very important to know the true facts before making any judgments or assessments on such a broad topic. It is also important to note that the media is incredibly biased and will only produce the 'news' that will bring in the best profit. Ultimately though, the most important aspect to the Middle-East conflict is not whether a certain country is "good" or "bad," but rather, moving on from any mistakes that have been made and building on them in a productive matter to help usher in an era of peace.
