Israel

Answer 1

In contrast to a number of its neighbors, the present-day nation of Israel doesn't recognize an official state religion, although it was founded primarily as the place where Jews were at last free to live as Jews, and remains so today. The open expression of other religions is common in Israel, and is protected, often by state security forces when such practice is threatened.

If the question is asking about the religion of the people of Israel in history, the answer is that the phrase "Children of Israel" has always been synonymous with, and understood to mean, the people whose national character, goals, and aspirations are shaped by Judaism. In other words, they are the Jewish people.

Zionism is not a religion. It is the political and nationalist movement of those who seek to re-establish the recognized home of the Jewish people in the geographic region of ancient Israel, where there has been a continuous Jewish presence since shortly after the Exodus from Egypt, including the 2000 years since their nationhood was brought down by the Romans.

Answer 2

The primary religion in Israel is Judaism. However, Israel recognizes the other religions followed by its citizens including Islam, Christianity, Ba'hai, etc.

Israel has no official state religion, and there is no religious requirement, test, or qualification for such privileges as school admission, business or home ownership, voting, election to public office, or practice of law before the courts.

In early 2012, the breakdown of the country's population was listed as 75.3% Jewish, 20.6% Muslim, and the remaining 4.3% comprising Christian, Druze, Baha'i, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist, Other, Unspecified, and None of the above.
The nation of Israel is predominantly Jewish, although Christian and Muslim Israelis are accorded full civil rights.

Roughly 75% of Israel's population are Jews. The country has no 'official' religion,

and there is no religious requirement for citizenship, voting rights, land ownership,

public education, medical benefits, or public office (including the national parliament).

Answer 1

The United States may regard Israel as its primary ally in the Middle East, based on "common democratic values, religious affinities, and security interests". Their bilateral relations are multidimensional and the United States is the principal proponent of the Arab-Israeli peace process.

Answer 2

Israel is one of the US's largest allies. The two countries have also recently strengthened these ties greater, and will most likely support each other at any cost (at an exaggeration). The US and Israel are allies because the two share similar culture and history, the US has a large Israeli/Jewish population, the US was a major player for Israeli/Jewish support during times such as WWII, etc.

Answer 1

At the time when Jewish community had suffered holocaust around the world. The survivors have decided to get united and form a nation where they can establish themselves. And they found the place in the land of gulf near Palestine and the state named "Israel". Check the term "Israel" it has a mystery not sure but its the land where "Gabriel" defeated Angel.

Answer 2

As historical and complicated as this answer might get, the simple answer (validating the principal of Occam's Razor) should be acknowledged. After the tragedy of WWII was over, the world was forced to acknowledge the extent and horror of the Holocaust. The sheer proportion of the Jewish population to the number of Jews killed from the pogroms though the Holocaust was staggering. In assessing it's humanity, the world (represented by the United Nations) at this unique time in the Jewish diaspora and world history, allowed itself to acknowledge a collective shame for the depravity within our species and a profound sadness for the Jewish people. While many millions had died in the war, the genocide and systematic ("final solution") attempt to eradicate a whole people's in the most cruel of ways (as shown in pictures and stories by soldiers who saw the concentration and extermination camps, and legalized in history through the Nuremberg trials for example) tipped the scales of history. It was at the greatest cost, but the world acknowledged it was time to provide the Jewish people's with a homeland.

Answer 3

It was created to be the Jewish homeland. The holocaust was a contributing factor in demonstrating the need for the Jews to have a place to call their home.
Israel was established as a homeland for the Jewish people after World War 2.

It is well-known that the Jews lived in and maintained a historical presence across various areas of what is known as Palestine. (This is the idea of "Zion" in Jewish tradition.) But the specific "territory" was always in dispute. History has "blurred the lines" that demark "nations" in that area. Additionally, the whole of the region has been (until recent times) under some form of Arab control since the 1500's.

For centuries the Jews had wanted a "home" in the place where they had arisen. After action by (first) the League of Nations (in 1922) and (some 30 years later) the United Nations, a "partitioning" of Palestine was voted on by the latter body. This was November of 1947, and the proposal was to create an Arab state, a Jewish state, and leave Jerusalem to be U.N. administered. Arab states rejected the proposal, and civil war broke out. "Israel" (a not-as-yet "soveign nation") declared independence on the 14th of May, 1948. Within 24 hours, Arab states invaded.

Different negotiated treaties and accords as well as a number of wars have left the area "fractured" into disputed lands. But the state of Israel has been established, and never again will these people (Jews) be banished from the country they live in (in the area where they arose as a people) with no where to go. The Jewish people have a permanent home.

Benjamin Netanyahu was Israel's 9th prime minister, from 1996 to 1999.

Ehud Barak was elected on May 17, 1999 and took office on July 6, 1999. Barak was prime minister until 2001.

(*Netanyahu is also the 13th prime minister, elected in 2009.)

Muslim Answer

The holy land is in:

• Mecca where the Kaaba is located, surrounded by the Grand Mosque or Al-Masjid Al-Haram. It is the birth place of Prophet Muhammad and where Muslims go for pilgrimage (or Hajj).
• Medina where there is Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi (the Mosque of the Prophet) and where Prophet Muhammad is buried, and
• AlQods Alsharkiya (that is called in English Eastern Jerusalem) in the Palestinian Occupied Territories, where Prophet Muhammad ascended to the Heavens, by a Divine Miracle, and returned back. It is also holy land for having the main Orthodox Cathedral.

Christian Answer 1

As a Christian, the Holy Land is Israel with an undivided Jerusalem the most important city since Christ was born there. All this, however is not too relevant to Christians since the Holy Spirit now resides in us, not a temple made by hands.

Christian Answer 2

Israel is, because it was where Christ Lived on earth.

Answer 4

The holy land is located in the Eastern part of Jerusalem. It is a holy land for all God religions and is located withing the Palestinian Territories. There is also the holy land of Kabaa in Makkah (or Mecca) in Saudi Arabia.

The Holy Land is more than just the "Eastern part of Jerusalem." It is ALL of Israel.
