Why is the creation of Israel important to the cold war?
A whole host of quote "middle east" wars occurred involving Israel from 1948 up thru 1973. With the last one being the most dangerous...US gas shortage...Israel getting hurt more than it ever did, etc. But Israel was not player in the cold war. The only nations that counted were the US, USSR, Red China, the Korean War, and Vietnam Wars in that order.
The Cuban Missile Crisis involved the USSR.
If a crisis didn't involve the above listed nations, it was simply "part" of world events. The oil (gas) crisis, from the Yom Kipper War of '73 was a logistical crisis...gas prices went from 29 cents a gallon to $1.00 a gallon over night. Even and odd numbered license plates were the norm in America...pushing your "gas hog" IN LINE to the gas pumps caused many US car owners to switch from the full sized gas guzzlers to the Chevy Vega, Ford Pinto, and Toyotas and Datsuns (called Nissons today). Try pushing (by yourself) a full sized pick-up truck up the drive way from the street...the poor drivers waiting in line behind you have to get out of their own vehicles to push you up the drive way from the street. Or they just got mad and honked their horns at you and cussed you out. Big vehicles caused big problems in 1973/74.

How did Operation Cast Lead start?
Depending on who you ask, Israel or Gaza could have started the conflict.
Gazan Perspective: It's Israel's Fault
Israel broke the peace treaty and subsequently launched operation 'Cast Lead' a massive military offensive against a civilian population. It banned foreign press from entering Gaza. It used white phosphorus (a chemical weapon) on UN sanctioned hospitals and schools (a war crime). Within 23 days the death toll had reached 1,284 Palestinians dead, 6 IDF by enemy fire and 3 IDF by friendly fire. When the operation had finished Israel had claimed more land from the Gaza strip in the name of security zones for their protection.
Israeli Perspective: It's Hamas' Fault
Hamas failed to control both its own militants and those of the group Islamic Jihad to abide by the terms of the hudna (ceasefire) that they had negotiated with Israel and did not seem interested in renegotiating. They fired large volleys of rockets repeatedly into Israeli territory. After growing Israeli resentment over the attacks, the Israeli government saw fit to use a military incursion to stop the rocket bombardments.

In what country is Hebrew spoken and why?
Hebrew is spoken in the State of Israel, mainly due to the efforts of Eliezer ben-Yehuda, who revived the modern language of Hebrew. Hebrew was chosen because it is the language of the Jews.
Did the US send a lot of Jews to Israel?
No, at least not from a governmental position. The United States, unlike many countries, has never forcibly deported its Jewish citizens or put them in a social, political, or economic climate where leaving the United States was the only viable option. On the flip side, the United States has never incentivized (monetarily or politically) for American Jews to go to Israel. The only Jews that America assisted to get to Israel were a small minority of Holocaust survivors. Most Holocaust survivors who did get to Israel did so without American assistance.
While there are many American Jews in Israel, this is more of a function of how many Jews in the world there are in total after the Holocaust destroyed much of European Jewry. There are larger Israeli communities of Russian, Moroccan, and Iraqi Jews than American Jews.
How did the Kingdom of Israel develop and who were some of its key leaders?
Prior to the Kingdom was the era of the Judges; three centuries from Joshua until Samuel.
The Israelites, at the time of Samuel, were coming to the end of an era which was unique in world history. They had undertaken a grand experiment: whether a nation could govern themselves for centuries without a king or organized government.
Instead, there were the officers of tens, fifties, hundreds and thousands (Exodus ch.18), and the court of Elders, who were Torah-scholars that provided Torah-rulings and guidance. Each of the leading Judges (Gideon, Deborah etc.) was a private citizen (not a head of government) who led the nation only during a brief episode of battle.
During that era (of the Judges, about 350 years), when someone raised the possibility of having a king, the answer was: God will rule over you, not a king (Judges 8:23). The events of the Exodus and the Giving of the Torah were so fresh in the nation's memory that they didn't need a king; God was their King. (The missteps which did take place in that era, is a subject beyond the scope of the present question.)
In Samuel's old age, more than three centuries after the Exodus, the people (including their Torah-scholars) felt that the time had come to take a regular government. The Torah itself permitted this (Deuteronomy ch.17); and they saw that Samuel's sons didn't seem to have reached his spiritual level (1 Samuel 8:2-3).
They asked Samuel for a king, and he anointed Saul at the command of God. After Saul was found wanting, Samuel anointed King David.
Some of the key leaders of the kingdom:
David, Solomon, Yehoshaphat, Hizkiah, Yoshiah.
Complete list of kings:
1) The united kingdom: the kings were Saul, David, Solomon.
2) The kingdom of Judah (Southern Kingdom): Rehav'am (Rehoboam), Aviyah (Abijah), Asa, Yehoshaphat (Jehoshaphat), Yehoram (Jehoram), Ahaziah, queen Athaliah, Yehoash (Jehoash), Amatziah (Amaziah), Uzziah, Yotam (Jotham), Ahaz, Hizkiah (Hezekiah), Menasheh (Manasseh), Amon, Yoshiah (Josiah), Yehoahaz (Jehoahaz), Yehoyakim (Jehoiakim), Yehoyachin (Jehoiachin, a.k.a. Jeconiah), Tzidkiah (Zedekiah).
3) The kingdom of Israel (Northern Kingdom; Samaria): Yerav'am (Jeroboam), Nadav (Nadab), Baasha, Elah, Zimri, Omri, Ah'av (Ahab), Ahaziah, Yoram (Joram), Yehu (Jehu), Yehoahaz (Jehoahaz), Yehoash (Jehoash), Yerav'am (Jeroboam II), Zachariah, Shallum, Menachem, Pekahiah, Pekah, Hoshea.
What type of city was galilee?
Galilee is not a city. It is an expansive green hilly area in what is now northern Israel. It has some cities in it, such as Haifa and Acre on its western edge, Karmiel and Safed in its center, Tiberias on its eastern edge, and Kiryat Shemonah in the far north. There are also many Israeli Arab towns and villages.
How was the Arab-Israeli conflict resolved?

Your question should be for what are the Children of Israel chosen for.
What country existed where Israel is today?
- The country was originally called Palestine. refer to the Ancient Greek records that confirm this information.
- The Jews were never held by the Pharaoh as slaves. They came to Egypt as refugees when the prophet Joseph (Yusuf), son of Jacob, was minister of finance in Egypt. They were enjoying their stay in Egypt to the extent that when they escaped Egypt they had enough gold to make the cow of gold that they worshiped in absence of Moses.
- The land of Palestine is called as such historically even in Greek history books and was never called Israel as claimed above. Israel is a second name of prophet Jacob.
- Palestine land was never empty from people especially that most of their lands are fertile and good for agriculture besides their good harbors. Could you believe that a land is empty while on the boarders of the Ancient Egyptian civilization lands.
- Arabs didn't come to the middle East. They are already an original part of the middle East even before the time of Prophet Abraham (or Ibrahim in Arabic).
- when Arabs (or Muslims) took control of Palestine, Jews were very little minority while the majority were Christians. No single Jew was killed by Muslims when they got control of the lands. Simply because they didn't fight. Christians agree to give the church key to the Caliph Omar on condition they guarantee the freedom of worship and it was.
- How the Arabs deleted the history of the Jews in Palestine. If this is correct could you explain why didn't also delete the history of the Christians?. if true, then how they deleted it? and if really deleted then how do you know there was something and was deleted?
- Did you hear about Muslims killing any civilian in any country the took control of. Read the history about Muslims in Spain.
- check the history to see how Sultan Abdel Hamid of the Ottoman empire gave refugee to the Jews expelled from Spain when Christians got control of it. This explains why relatively there many Jews in Morocco. How claimed that they were killed again?
- in 1948, the UN didn't give Palestine to the Jews. UN agreed to partition Palestine between the Palestinian original people and the Jews who mainly immigrated from Europe to Palestine.
- Check the history of Palestine and the records of the Jewish immigration waves that came from all over the world to know who are the original people.
- Despite the above, the call is for all people living now in these lands to live together in love and peace under one country and one flag with equal rights to all its inhabitants irrelevant to their religion, culture, or language. Otherwise, no other solution except the partition into two independent states.
Why are the tribes collectively called Israel?
Because they were all the descendants of Jacob, whom God renamed Israel (Genesis ch.35). See also:
How do you get to Israel from the Philippines?
Depending on whether you are a tourist or looking to become a foreign worker, the paperwork necessary for a Filipino to go to Israel is different and the best place to find out what paperwork is necessary is most likely the Israeli Passport Office or the Filipino Passport Office.
As concerns the actual trip, there are only two possible ways to get from the Philippines to Israel: to fly by plane or take a ship from Manila to Eilat. I assume the plane flight is cheaper now as well as being significantly quicker.
