Who was it who voted for Israel to become a country in 1947?

You must be referring to the November 1947 UN resolution to partition part of the

lands of the Middle East that the British were about to vacate, with one portion to

be administered by the local Arab authorities, and the other part by the local Jewish

authorities. That resolution passed in the UN General Assembly by a majority vote of

the UN members at that time. The list of countries can be found on line. It was not a

vote "for Israel to become a country". The leaders of Israel did that, six months later,

as soon the administration of the Jewish partition passed to them from the British.

Why is the dead sea in Israel so dense?

because of a lot of salt is in it

The dead sea has no outlet. Water flows into it but not out. The area where the dead sea is is an arid zone so rainfall is low. Water evaporates from the dead sea but because there is not much water flowing into it the dead sea becomes concentrated with mineral salts and that makes it dense.

Who helped Israel take the land from the Palistine's?

The people who were living in Palestine in 1947. Palestine is the old name for Israel; it's the same place.

=============================================

Another contributor attempted to clarify:

On land set aside by a majority vote in the UN General Assembly, the residents of

that land declared it a sovereign nation in May, 1948, and named it Israel. It was

immediately attacked by the combined military forces of several of its neighbors,

lost a significant portion of the original area, but survived the attack. It was soon

admitted as a member of the United Nations, and now is recognized by, and has

mutual diplomatic relations with, all but about 30 other countries in the world.

The UN General Assembly also set aside adjacent land for administration by the

primarily Arab residents of that area. That portion was not declared a distinct

nation, and was absorbed into the Kingdom of Jordan.

During the 1967 war, Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the Golan

Heights from Syria, and the West Bank of the Jordan River from Jordan. When

Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel, the Sinai ... minus the Gaza Strip ...

was returned to Egyptian sovereignty. Israel unilaterally disengaged from Gaza,

withdrawing its military and removing its settlers, in 2005, leaving it to the rule

of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which was soon driven out by Hamas.

Neither the Golan nor the West Bank has been returned to Syria or Jordan yet,

as those nations have not acknowledged Israel's right to exist, and certain of

their nationals maintain the pesky habit of rocketing and mortaring Israel whenever

they can get close enough.

In conclusion, we would ask that contributors who feel this information to be

erroneous should post corrections to its facts, but should not delete it simply

because they disagree with its perceived tone or intent.

Why is Israel a state and not a country?

Commonly Accepted Geopolitical Answer

The accepted definition for a country is an entity that is internationally recognized as such and has its own passport, institutions, government, and so on. Since Israel meets this definition, it is a country. Only the exact borders are sometimes negotiated upon. Most religious Jews accept this too, even if they disagree with certain of Israel's policies.

1) Powerful neighbors of whom they have to be wary. Jordan is just as concerned with the goings-on in Egypt, Syria and Iran as Israel is.

2) A desire for quiet. Jordan made a peace treaty with Israel and had occasionally held clandestine high-level meetings with her even before that.

3) A shared border.

4) A perennial concern with water resources. Jordan, and much of Israel, is semi-arid to arid.

5) Numerous ancient ruins which draw huge numbers of tourists.

6) Difficult history with the Palestinian Arabs.

Was Christianity founded in Israel?

AnswerOne would expect that the very people who witnessed the miracles of Jesus and later those of the apostles, saw the crucifixion of Jesus, and knew about his resurrection, would have converted in very large numbers to Christianity. In fact, Acts of the Apostles reports thousands or multitudes of Jews converting whenever the apostle Peter performed a miracle. Yet, the Jews remained faithful to their ancient religion and continued to await the promised Messiah. By the time of Emperor Constantine, Palestine was still largely a non-Christian region.

Either the many miracles did not really happen, or the Jews were unimpressed by them and the message of the apostles.

Did Jordan lose its West Bank in the 1967 war with Israel?

Yes.

However, it should be noted that while Jordan occupied the West Bank from 1949-1967, it had no legitimate rights to that land. Less than five nations recognized the validity of the Jordanian occupation. Therefore the "its" in the question is inaccurate. Jordan lost "the" West Bank, but not "its" West Bank.

What caused God to divide Israel into two kingdoms?

Answer According to the Bible, Rehoboam succeeded his father, Solomon, as king of a great united empire, but was not a good leader. He continue his father's unwise policy of swingeing taxes and then arrogantly increased them when the Israelites complained. In a very short time, the Israelites rebelled and he lost an empire, the United Monarchy of Israel. On this view, the split occurred around 921 BCE.

(1Kings 12:2-15; 2Chronicles 10:3-15; 13:6, 7)

However, it is reported that a majority of scholars believe that there never was a United Monarchy of Israel. They say that Israel and Judah were always separate, with their own customs and even different dialects of the Hebrew language. Arguably, the biblical authors created a United Israel in order to instil national unity and national pride, in a time of great difficulty for Judah, and they needed an explanation as to why this great empire ceased to exist. Rehoboam and his lack of proper leadership were the convenient explanation.
