How was Israel invaded by 7 Arab armies?
I am not sure what you are asking. If you mean how did the forces from those Arab armies enter Israel, the answer is simple. All four of the countries that bordered Israel were a subset of the seven invading countries. The tanks literally just crossed the border. If you are asking about how Israel was unable to repel them immediately, the answer is also simple, Israel did not have the manpower to do that.

Michal Negrin jewelry isn't too expensive but is considered very nice jewelry and authentic to Israel. Also, their chocolate is amazing (Israel is known for her dairy products).

Why did the creation of Israel occur in Arab areas?
Your question is wrong.
Israel creation occurred in British areas. this areas was never Arabic.
The act was not malicious towards the Arabs. The area where the Land of Israel (the biblically defined region) was had no Arabs at the point in time when the Israelite Kingdoms reigned since the Arabs at the time were living almost exclusively in the Arabian Peninsula. During the Rise of Islam period, over 1000 years later, Arab armies and populations resettled the "Northern Middle East" which consists of places like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine. These Arabs interbred with the local peoples and Arabized them (this is a cultural/identity process). Therefore, the Land of Israel became host to an Arab population. When Jews made a political gambit to get the Land of Israel back, it now had an Arab population that could trace its roots back for at least 800 years and considered the territory part of their birthright.
If the question is asking, why did the Jews not choose Patagonia or some other region with no discernible native population, the answer is the same reason as why the Kurds and Circassians also do not want a State in their Diasporas. There is something intrinsic about all of these people and their connection to the place of their origin. Jews have the right to not have to compromise their historical identity for momentary peace.

What connection did Cleopatra have to the Old City of Caesarea in current-day Israel?
Cleopatra had no connection to the ancient city of Caesarea that is known. But remember there were several cities by that name. However, her daughter was married to Juba II of Mauritania and their capitol city was named Caesarea.
The Caesarea in current day Israel was built by Herod the Great sometime between 25 and 13 BC. Its construction was started roughly five years after Cleo's death. So Cleopatra would have had no connection to that Caesarea, and it's unlikely that any of her sympathizers would be allowed to even live there, as Cleopatra and Herod were not exactly buddies. However, there was a former city callen Straton's Tower built by Straton I of Sidon on the site of Caesarea in Israel. After the agreement between Cleopatra and Marc Antony at Antioch, Cleopatra was given territories all along the eastern Mediterranean coast and this city was part of her new holdings. She was supposed to have made a tour of her new possessions upon leaving Marc Antony and could very well have stopped at the old city, before it was rebuilt and called Caesarea.
In the general sense, no. Arabs, in general, opposed the State of Israel through war and bloodshed on numerous occasions. However, there have been a number of Arabs who did help to create Israel, primarily among the Druze and Bedouins, but there are some ethnic Palestinians who have actively contributed to create Israel as well.

Why did the un approve the state of israel?
The various nations that voted in the UN to approve the legality of the State of Israel in 1947 did so for a number of different reasons, some of which are listed below:
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) Solidarity with the Oppressed: Many nations in Latin America supported Israel because they sympathized with the oppressed Jewish people and saw the Independence of Israel as akin to their wars against Spain/Portugal and the internal fights for more indigenous equality.
5) 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.
6) 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.
How do you say 'welcome' in Israel?

Why was Israel called the State of Israel when it was founded?
The question may be asking two separate things and this merits two separate answers.
1) Why use the name "Israel" at all and not "Palestine", which was the name of Mandate, "Judea" which was the name of the previous Jewish Kingdom, or any other name? -- Israel is representative of the Union of the 12 Tribes since all of those Tribes are the Tribes of Israel. Israel's mission was to bring all Jews together literally under one banner. So this name was chosen as a unifying Jewish term.
2) Why use the term "State of" instead of "Republic of" or "People's Democratic Republic of" or any other appellation? -- The Hebrew for "State of Israel" is Medinat Yisrael (מדינת ישראל) and the word "Medina" is ancient Biblical Word as opposed to Republic which is Republika (רפובליקה). Thus the State of Israel is harkening back to its Biblical Roots. Most terms that Israelis use for their government are Biblical Terms like Nasi (נשיא) which meant Prince, but now means President and Rosh Hamemshalah (ראש הממשלה) or Head of the Government is the Prime Minister.
What is a kibbutz where can you find one?
A kibbutz is a sort of collectively-run farm or commune, with many situated throughout Israel. Organised along more-or-less communist (with a lower case c, as opposed to Communist or Marxist), they were previously very popular among non-Jewish young people in Europe and America who would frequently take a year or two out from their education to work on a kibbutz but are less so now, partially as a result of the changes in popular opinion on the country.

However, there are still several with various entry requirements. A Google search for "kibbutzim in Israel" should turn up plenty of results.
Why did England fail to carry out the terms of the Balfour declaration?
The British realized that as wealthy as British Jews were, only the Arabs had access to non-Russian petroleum and sought to placate the Arabs for a better chance at having access to their oil. This strategy was not terribly successful and ended up alienating the British from the Jewish Zionists (for failing to live up to the terms of the Mandate) and from Arabs (who would never forgive the British for not entirely rescinding the Mandate and forcing the Jews to go back to Europe).
When Israel was recognized how many Arabs fled?
It is important to note that Israel being recognized by foreign countries was not what caused the Arab flight from Israel. There were three factors that led to the Arab flight which were: Jewish/Israeli attacks on Arab neighborhoods during the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-1949, Arab fear of mistreatment in any future non-Arab state, and incitement to leave by Mullahs and Arab Political leaders who promised resettlement in those areas after the conflict. After the war, which Israel won, Arabs were not allowed the Right of Return which made their flight a memorable historical event.
There are an incredible number of estimates floating around as to how many Arabs left. The most common number accepted by Academics is 700,000, but there are conservative estimates that place the number at around 450,000-500,000 and there are much more liberal estimates that place the number close to 1.2 million.
