Why does Israel have to give up weapons if syria does?
According to current negotiations, it does not.
The reason that some people make the argument that Israel should have to give up weapons is to create a chemical and nuclear weapons free Middle East. This has the slightly sinister motive of making Israel appear more vulnerable. The premise of Israel having to level with Syria is flawed since while Israel does have nuclear weapons, it has never threatened to use them nor has it actually used them. Conversely, Syria has both threatened to use and has used chemical weapons both in war and against civilian populations. Those who misuse such weapons should be punished whereas those who do not need not be bothered.

How can you convert to Christianity in Syria?
You can convert to Christianity in any part of the world simply by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour. No paper work, documentation, etc. Simply believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, that he died for our sin and was risen from the dead. Then confess that you are a sinner, ask God to forgive you of your sins and turn away from a sinful life style. Jesus will help you with the turning away from sin part because it is impossible to do it on our own. Please let me know how it goes and may God bless your efforts.
Israel has always seen implementing civil law in the Palestinian Territories as implicitly annexing the Palestinian Territories. The implications of annexing the Palestinian Territories would be that Israel would be compelled to grant the Palestinians citizenship in Israel and this would effectively make Israel another Arab State similar to Lebanon. When Israel annexed the Golan Heights to bring it under civil law, citizenship was offered to the Syrian Druze who lived there. However, the Syrian Druze were a small population who did not threaten the Jewish majority of Israel. In order to preserve its primarily Jewish identity, Israel has decided to leave the West Bank under martial law.
Additionally, by leaving the territory consistently under martial law, Israel demonstrates that it evinces a serious intent about the possibility of returning the territory to a Palestinian State. This is because a martial system does not create a strong infrastucture.

Answer 1
An excellent question. Many have said that it's because of the ubiquitous heavy anti-Israel bias.
Answer 2
There are several major reasons why more people and more media outlets are concerned with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict than the much more lethal Syrian and Iraqi Insurgencies. For clarity's sake, as of August 7, 2014, less than 2,000 Palestinians have killed and around 300,000 have been internally displaced. Conversely, in the Syrian and Iraqi insurgencies, 190,000 Arabs have been killed cumulatively and at least 5,000,000 people have been displaced, with minorities disproportionately affected.
1) Unified Voice: On the Israeli-Palestinian questions, most people have implicitly chosen a side. Particularly in Muslim communities, there is almost unanimous support for Palestine and unanimous hatred and revilement towards Israel. In many Muslim communities, individuals who are openly Pro-Israel are attacked or beaten until their opinions change, preventing whatever small number of Pro-Israel Muslims from voicing their views. As a result if there is a desire to protest the actions of Israel, there is already a unified Muslim voice opposing Israel that can easily be corralled.
By contrast ISIL, the jihadist organization which has been responsible for re-instituting Taliban-like rule in Sunni dominated regions of Syria and Iraq, is a controversial question among Muslims, especially in the West. There is a strong argument, supported by older and more conservative Muslims that secularism is desirable because it allows everybody the ability to make Islam work for them. Many youths find that the West is full of moral depravity and, therefore, a religious theocracy would be desirable. Young Western Muslims have gone in the thousands to fight on either side of this conflict. As a result, there is no unified voice as to who to condemn and who to support.
2) Anti-Semitism: Vilifying Israel is seen as a socially-acceptable form of Anti-Semitism. While there are valid arguments to made against the State of Israel (see Anti-Zionism below), statements such endorsing the Nazis or Hitler, firebombing synagogues, posting pictures of European Jews and inciting for their murder on Facebook, are clear expressions of Anti-Semitism. Anti-Semites use the increase in Anti-Israel sentiment in order to promote their beliefs as well.
3) Racism of Lowered Expectations: Westerners do not often say this openly, but they do not often expect Non-Whites to behave as morally upright as they expect Whites to behave. For example, Mormons are often legally targeted for their polygamous marriages which are illegal. Arabs and Desis (Indians) are not similarly legally targeted, because it might "offend their culture" and cultural sensitivity is seen as desirable. In the case of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the Israelis are judged according to the "White" standard and required to be more moral than their Arab enemies. Conversely, there is an "expectation" that Arabs will kill each other as they do in great numbers in Syria and Iraq. This double-standard is racist and demeaning to the value of every Arab life lost from Arab-led violence.
4) Apocalyptic Narratives: Many apocalyptic religious Jews, Christians, and Muslims see the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict as being the prelude to the first coming of the Messiah, the return of Jesus Christ, or the coming of the Mahdi respectively. As a result, religious individuals of all faiths are watching the conflict closely for signs of the "impending" apocalypse. Far fewer people eye the Syrian and Iraqi insurgencies with the same apocalyptic zeal.
5) Anti-Colonialism and Anti-Zionism: Since Israel was formed by Jews immigrating to Israel from places outside of Israel, there are a number of ethnic Europeans and Muslims who see Israel as one of the last colonial countries. They see promoting the Palestinians over the Israelis as part of the process of undoing the horrors of colonialism and making up for their mixed feelings concerning the creation of colonies in the Americas which completely supplanted the indigenous population, but are now strong, functioning societies. Additionally, there are those who simply oppose the right for Jews to have a state, which is Anti-Zionism. Of course, none of these things are issues in Syria and Iraq, since those countries are ruled by "native" populations, regardless of the fact that they are less majoritarian or respectful of their minorities than Israel.
How did the polio outbreak in Syria start?
Someone who was not immunized with the polio vaccine got it from someone else. No one knows where some of these viruses "hide" but is probably was making rounds in small populations.
True.
The Egyptians considered the Hyksos as foreign usurpers of the Egyptian throne. When the Hyksos were eventually driven out of Egypt, all traces of their occupation were erased. No accounts survive recording the history of the period from the Hyksos perspective, only that of the native Egyptians who evicted the occupiers. However, conversely, the use of Egyptian names and symbols in the hieroglyphics of later Hyksos rulers indicates that the Hyksos considered themselves relatively Egyptianized.

Strictly speaking, when Napoleon invaded Egypt, the empire upon whose lands he was trespassing was the OTTOMAN EMPIRE. However, the Ottomans had very weak control over that area at the time. The local rulers were actually the MAMLUK Beys or Chieftains. While the Mamluks did not have de jureindependence, they were the effective rulers of Egypt. It was only after Napoleon was expelled from Egypt that the Ottoman Empire took a direct interest in governing the territory.
What type of terrorism is in Syria?
In Syria, various forms of terrorism are present, primarily involving jihadist groups like ISIS and al-Nusra Front, which have exploited the civil war to establish control and conduct violent attacks.
