Which direction is Israel from Winter Park Florida?

For the the absolutely-shortest straight route from the intersection of Brewer Ave

and Aloma Ave to Jerusalem, you would head out from Winter Park on a bearing

of 49.7° true ... very close to northeast ... and keep going straight. That's the

"great circle" route, and in that direction, the trip would be 6,540 miles. Starting

out in any other direction, it would be a longer distance.

Does Israel have a peace treaty with Egypt?

NO. Syria and Israel had been negotiating prior to the Arab Spring of 2011 to have a peace treaty. The particular thorn in the negotiations was not really the Golan Heights, as Israel was willing to concede that, but the 5 square kilometer area that was part of the British Mandate of Palestine in 1947 and was Syrian-Occupied in 1949. This small piece of land gave Syria direct access to the Sea of Galilee, something Israel wants to prevent Syria from accessing.

Where do most present-day Israelis originally come from?

It depends what you mean by "occupying".

If you mean "living", then the answer is that Israelis are ethnically from almost every country imaginable, but with around 55% from the Arab World (including the non-Jews), 20% from Russia and Eastern Europe, and another 25% from Germany, Western Europe, and the Americas.

If you mean "forcibly controlling someone else's territory", the question is incomplete. It could be read that you are asking where the "Israelis who are occupying the land" come from or "Who are the people who are occupying what should be Israeli land?" Then you run into the politics of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict where people on both sides say that the other is occupying something else.

With the establishment of Israel in 1948 about how many native Palestinians moved into neighboring Arab countries?

The number of native Palestinians, both Muslims and Christians, who were subjected to ethnic expulsion after the creation of Israel in 1948 is not known exactly but it is in hundreds of thousands. Many towns and villages were abandoned and people fled to neighboring countries. At the same time, roughly the same number of Jews, natives of the neighboring countries, were subjected to ethnic expulsion, abandoned their homes, and fled to Israel.

Now, over 60 years later, the Israeli government includes a number of democratically elected Arab representatives, the refugees were integrated into society, and there are no refugee camps. The neighboring countries include few democratically elected representative government bodies, and the refugees are still in refugee camps.

The Arab League has passed resolutions banning Arab countries from naturalizing Palestinian refugees in their own countries because that will make it near impossible for them to return to their occupied lands in Gaza and West Bank. In a bizarre twist of illogic, much of worldwide public opinion holds Israel responsible for the failure of Arab countries to integrate Arab refugees into their normative societies and economies.

Numerical estimates of the amount of Palestinians who fled in 1947-1949 range from 500,000 to 800,000 with most historians choosing a number in the low 700,000s like 720,000. They primarily fled to Jordan, but a large number also fled to Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria. With the partial exception of Jordan, none of these countries has provided citizenship or acceptance for Palestinian refugees.

Numerical estimates of Jews who fled Arab countries from 1947-1952 are between 600,000 and 1,000,000 with most historians choosing a number in the mid 800,000s like 850,000. Of these emigrants, 500,000 settled in Israel and the remaining ones went to France, the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom. All of these former refugees have become citizens in either Israel or the other countries to which they fled.

What were the mistakes that Rehoboam king of the southern kingdom of Israel committed that caused his kingdom to be divided?

Rehoboam was the Son of Solomon (by Naamah, his Ammorite wife), and he took over the throne after his father died in 997 BCE at age 41, reigning for 17 years. (1Kings 14:21; 1Chronicles 3:10; 2Chronicles 9:31)

King Solomon had turned away from God in his last days, and become a harsh king, putting heavy burdens on his people. After he died, Rehoboam had the opportunity to reach out to the people and help them, but he was a young and foolish man, and chose the wrong course.

A group of his people, lead by Jeroboam , came to him to beg that he remove the oppression that Solomon had put on them. Though he thought about it, and talked it over with his older advisers(who suggested that the wise course would be to LISTEN to the people and lighten their burdens), he chose to reject this mature advice. Instead, he listened to his pals, the young men he'd grown up with, who foolishly told him to increase the burdens on the people, even beating and whipping them with scourges. (1Kings 12:2-15; 2Chronicles 10:3-15; 13:6, 7).

Though the tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained, this pompus and arrogant attitude understandably turned the majority of the people away, giving Jereboam a platform on which to take over the ten tribes(1Kings 12:16, 17; 2Chronicles 10:16, 17), as had been prophesied(1Kings 11:29-31).
