Israel

Well currently there is an interesting situation with the supporters of Israel and how it influences Christianity. I'm going to hit you with a strange fact. The largest supporters of Israel are evangelical christians. The reason for this is because in the bible it is stated that the formation of a Jewish state in Israel will bring about armageddon and the second coming of Christ. So currently it influences Christianity pretty heavily

The Assyrians destroyed Israel in 722 BCE and scattered the people throughout their empire, where the former Israelites assimilated the local cultures and religion, and lost their separate ethnic identity. The Assyrians renamed Israel as Samaria and brought people from other parts of their empire into Samaria.

From the Jewish perspective, it's an option, NOT an obligation, for Jews to return to Israel. When the Messiah comes, the Jews will return to Israel because of a desire to be close to the spirituality of the Messiah.

For a number of Christian Zionist groups, Jews must return to Israel to bring on Armageddon and the End of Days. They want this outcome so that Jesus Christ can return and create the Kingdom of God on Earth.

The official Head of State in Israel is the President but his duties are mostly formal. The prime minister is the "decision maker" in Israel.

As of August 2012 - the Israeli president is Shimon Peres and the Prime Minister is Benyamin Netanyahu.

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, but it certainly not the largest city in Asia; it is not even the largest city in Israel (which is Tel Aviv). The largest city in Asia is the Tokyo-Yokohama metropolitan area; the two cities bleed into one another.

Camel spiders (Solpugidae) or sun spiders.

They are not true spiders. They are more like scorpions. They have big powerful mouthparts and can run very fast.

Israel is the second powerfulest country after America Israel and America we are the best of friends even with war in Iraq Israel and the usa have a very close relation.

There are two triangles on the flag and two blue stripe, one on the top and one in the bottom. Each triangle represent one supreme power, the triangle pointing on top represent the power/authority of GOD who lives in Skies denoted by upper blue stripe, and triangle pointing downwards point to the power of Messiah living in deep or above seas.

Some towns in galilee are Acre, Nahariva, Nazareth, Safed, Karmiel, Shaghur, Afula, and Tiberias.

The antisemitism all over the world especially in Europe make the Jews united in the idea of Zionism ( create a nation ), it made them think that there is no place where they can be safe and live in peace, we can say that the Holocaust and the situation of the Jews in Arab states in the 20 century was "the last straw" for the Jews .

1). Israel is the alternate name of the biblical patriarch Jacob.

2). Israel is the name of a nation that existed from just after the Biblical Exodus until the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem by the Roman occupiers in 70 CE, then faded from political identification and independence, and was restored as a nation in 1948. Israel is a democracy, with a unicameral legislature whose representatives are chosen by popular vote of all adult citizens, is a member of the United Nations, and is recognized by and maintains diplomatic relations with all but 34 of the world's 196 nations.

Israel is an independent, sovereign nation, with its own government, political system, popularly elected legislature, currency, etc. It does not 'belong' to any other nation, although several of its close neighbors might like to change that.

-- Lebanon

-- Syria

-- Jordan

-- Egypt

(Of course, this answer ignores that Israel borders the partially-recognized country of Palestine and the unrecognized country of Hamas-Controlled Gaza.)

Israel has a democracy for Israeli citizens. It is parliamentary. The Palestinians do not have full inclusion in the Israeli state, as I understand.

Most of them were expelled in the year 70 by the Romans. But not all ... there has

been a continuous Jewish presence there since more than 1,000 years before that

time, including throughout the Diaspora, exiles, dispersions, etc., right up to the

time when the modern state of Israel was restored.

Nowadays, Israel is not divided into two kingdoms, but thousands of years ago, Israel was split into two kingdoms called "Yehuda" and "Israel". Both kingdoms were Jewish and both had their own ledership, but only one kingdom, "Yehuda", was oficially ruling the land of Israel and Jerusalem

Examples of foods eaten in Israel are:

Falafel

Shwarma

Shishlik

Kebab

Hummus

Schnitzel

Kugel

Cholent

Matza ball soup

Pita, dipped in humus

The list is endless because as a culture, we love good food. You can find food from all over the world in Israel because of the diversity of the population. (Jews have immigrated to Israel from nearly every country in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Americas. Additionally, because of guest-worker programs with East Asia, you can find Chinese, Filipino, and Thai restaurants if you look hard enough (even though there are no Jews from these countries).

Jews migrated to the German states over a long period. In the Middle Ages, especially at the time of the crusades and the Black Death, Jews were expelled from many parts of Germany and were pushed eastwards - to Poland, which until about 1650 was very tolerant towards the Jews. Until the Nazi period there were a few Jewish farmers in Baden who claimed to have settled there in Roman times. (This claim cannot be verified, but it is clear that many of the families had been there for many centuries as farmers, despite expulsions - which were sometimes less thorough than at first appears). There were also some other areas and states that were reasonably tolerant, for example, Hamburg. A very large number of German Jews became inhabitants (and later citizens) of Prussia as a result of the partitions of Poland in 1772-1795. In 1812 Prussia granted something close to full citizenship to its Jewish population and acquired an international reputation for toleration. This attracted some inward migration.

According to the Bible, there were 600,000 fighting men, a figure which excluded the tribe of Levi. Scholars have estimated that this would be equivalent to at least two and a half million people in total. The archaeological evidence indicates that the total population did not really reach this figure for many centuries.

The so-called "Holy Land" is the territory in and around Jerusalem. Three religions, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, have important religious locations there.

Any follower of any of those religions might want to visit that area at some point in their life. In addition, the region has been continuously inhabited for several thousand years, so those who lack a religious interest but are interested in human history and the development of civilization, or merely in the history of the region, would also be interested in going there.
