The Jews and the Israelites to their north are traditionally believed to have migrated there from Egypt, where they had been enslaved. It is also traditionally believed that centuries earlier their single forefather migrated from the city of Ur in Mesopotamia. Historians say these legends are not really true, and that the forefathers of the Jewish people were Canaanites who migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities and settled peacefully in the hitherto sparsely settled hinterland.
Who established Israel as a Jewish state?
After world war 2 The United Nations gave The Jewish people land in Israel. This idea was first proposed by Theodor Herzl.
What is the long-disputed area between the Arabs and Israelis?
Next time you're at the library, go to the reference section, and have a look at a
large globe or world atlas. At the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, you'll
see a sliver of a territory that comes to a point at the bottom, labeled "Israel".
That's what was left of the piece of the British Mandate in Palestine that was
designated for Jewish administration by the UN partition resolution of 1947,
declared a sovereign nation in 1948, and attacked and partially conquered
immediately after the declaration by the armies of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and
Jordan.
Now, if you can get ahold of some elementary school textbooks from around the
Palestinian and Arab part of the world, you'll find several that do not depict Israel
at all in that place. As far as what those children are taught, no such nation exists,
and Jews are monkeys and pigs.
The land in dispute between Israel and Arab nations is Israel itself. And what adds
fuel to the dispute and makes it even more rancorous and emotional is Israel's
shameless and unapologetic public display of its intention to continue to exist,
defend its citizens, determine its own fate, and participate in the political, economic,
and social matters of the world as an equal partner among nations.
Why does Israel kill the cute kids?
What in the ever lovin' sam hill are you talking about ? Hanging around this site
as much as I do, I've heard some tall ones, and even taken a crack at answering
a few of them now and then. But I'm not sure I've ever heard one as wild and wide
of the mark as this one. Maybe we're all lucky that you're not any better at clearly
stating what you mean.
Wait! That's it! That's why this question has such a visceral impact. It's the
same reason that radio is better than television. The presentation is so rough
and so full of holes that the listener, or the reader, has to fill in the blanks with
his own imagination, and find a way to explain it to himself, and in doing that,
each individual uses whatever pleases him, or stimulates him, or shocks him
the most.
So Israels kills the cute kids ? As I struggle to make head or tail of this question,
my imagination says it has to mean one of two things:
-- Either it means that Israel trains people to crawl across the international
boundaries at night, and to travel in secret airplanes and submarines to cities
all over the world, and blend in with the masses in those cities, keep their eyes
open, watching, waiting, and watching some more, until a cute kid passes by,
and then, when the time is right, ZOP ! They spring from the shadows and kill
the cute kid. In Rome, in Paris, in New York, in New Delhi, in Damascus, in
Moscow, in Skokie and in Winnipeg, wherever kids are, if they're cute, they're
in mortal danger, because sooner or later thay're going to be killed by an Israel.
-- Or else it means that when a kid is born in Israel, if it's cute, then they kill it
right away, and that's why there are no cute kids in Israel and they're all ugly.
Whichever one is the meaning of the question, it works out badly for whoever
dumped it here. If it's the first meaning, then the person is gullible and slightly
deranged. If it's the second meaning, then he has also insulted my two Israeli
grandchildren, who are cute as all get-out and showing definite signs of being
around for a long time despite being surrounded by Israels in every direction.
Either way, sir, we have nothing more to say to each other. Good day to you.
Please get help.
In a war between just Israel and Syria who would win?
If America went all out, America would win. However the people in America do not want war. There would be an uproar if we went into a full war sending all our troops to Iran. If just the current amount of troops that are in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, etc. went in it would be another story. FINAL ANSWER: if America went in full on it would be America on top.
Is the country Israel a part of Africa?
No It has never been there.
But after WW2 (World War Two) The UN Suggested a Plan that says that Israel Will Be establish In Uganda (which is in Africa) but the plan was never executed Duo to rejection of the plan by the Jews and their will to live in the specific land which today (2008) called Israel.
Extremely exhausting; Orthodox Jews they keep trying to drag to synagogues all the secular Jews, indecently dressed women they keep yelling at for not dressing decently, and any gentiles in Israel, they tell them to either convert or leave. Like I said, because Orthodox Jews do that every day, at the end of the day they're just tired you know, exhausted. Alright in seriousness, cynicism aside; as in all places of the world in which they live, Orthodox Jewry is a fanatically tightly knit community that does not allow outsiders in, they regard with suspicion, and paranoia, even other Jews, regardless of background. You can be as Jewish as a freakin' Torah scroll, and they'll be suspicious of you; when it comes to prejudice issues, most complaints in Israel are often filed against Orthodox Jews. I almost feel sorry for them; I don't think Orthodox Jews have any friends, not even among other Jews. I know for sure that in Israel, no one likes them; not Arabs, not other Jews, its kinda sad actually. I mean, even Puerto Ricans in New York have white and black friends, even Mexicans in Los Angeles, same thing, Orthodox Jews though, ask any of them to name friends outside their community and see what answer you get.

1948-independence war
1956-sinai campaign
1967-6 day war
1973-yom kippur war 967-1973-
1982-first Lebanon war

Israel's special forces are among the best in the world.
Israeli soldiers and different units have been many times in combat situations, and have proved themselves over and over again.
the IDF cannot afford to be less than what they are, because they are the only democracy in the middle east where many if not most of the Muslims around them want to destroy Israel.
How many years ago was the land of israel established?
Modern Israel won their independence from Great Britain in April, 1948.
What was happening in Israel before Christianity began?
Judea had fallen under Roman Occupation. While there was a degree of secularization, there was also an entrenchment of the religious structure and a fight for the future of Judaism. The elite and powerful Sadducees were the High Priests who held a more constrictive view of Jewish teaching and the more popular/populist Pharisees had a more open and nuanced view of Jewish teaching.
Major disagreement between Palestinians and Israel?
The major disagreements between the "Palestinians" and the state of Israel
narrow down to two brazen aspects of Israel's behavior in rejection of almost
universal world opinion:
-- The obstinate insistence of Israel on its right to exist as a Jewish state in the
Middle East, and on its unapologetic intention to continue doing so.
-- The stubborn refusal of Israel and its people to die in armed conflict, to accept
rocketing of their residential areas with a wink and a smile, and in general to
relinquish their uppity attitudes and just go away.
How long is the flight from New York City to Tel Aviv Israel?
It depends on the airline and wind. The El Al schedule says 10 hr 25 min using a Boeing 747-400. The Delta schedule says 13 hr 00 min using a Boeing 767-300ER. A strong headwind can delay a flight. Rarely will a flight arrive early because of favorable weather such as a tailwind. The pilot will slow the plane so as not to arrive early. The airlines simply don't have their ground crews ready for an early arrival.
What manufactured products come from Israel?
Israel is, like most developed countries, at the forefront of technology. Israelis were responsible for many inventions of which some include:
The Saltwater Tomato: a tomato that grow in salt-water conditions and maintains a sweet flavor.
The first Cell-Phone Batteries
Numerous Military technologies such as tank, airplane, and drone improvements.
Why does Israel kill Palestinians?
Israel does not murder Palestinians. However, while protecting its citizens and defending its borders, many Palestinians both armed and unarmed have died. I often wonder what the reaction of the US might be if 60,000 unguided rockets had been lobbed from Tijuana into San Diego over the past 5 years. And how long the US would show 'restraint'. And whether the US would worry a lot about 'proportionate' response. Just musing.
What is the land area of Israel in terms of square miles?
8,367 sq mi (21,671 sq km)
Israel is about 8% smaller than New Jersey, and 2% larger than Massachusetts.
It would fit into the USA about 440 times.
Israel (22,072 Square Km) is about the size of New Jersey in America.
Who had more rights in Israel society?
In Israeli society, Jewish citizens generally have more rights and privileges compared to Arab citizens, who make up about 20% of the population. While both groups are entitled to basic civil rights under Israeli law, disparities exist in areas such as land access, political representation, and economic opportunities. Arab citizens often face systemic challenges and discrimination, which can limit their rights and participation in society compared to their Jewish counterparts.
How many times a year did the children of Israel present themselves in Jerusalem for a feast?
I think they had one feast the passover.
Does Palestine belong to the Arabs or the Jews?
Palestine. At this point in history, there are only two parties that claim the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. Since Hamas is not recognized as an independent government by any country, it retains exclusively de facto control of the area. Meanwhile the Palestinian Authority retains de jurecontrol pursuant to the Oslo Accords of 1993 which transferred the land from Israeli occupation to the sovereignty of the Palestinian Authority.
Almost all Israelis agree that the Gaza Strip does not belong to Israel.
