A Jewish state that has incredible food and bubbly people. located in the Middle East and near the asian continent. Tel Aviv is known for their clubs, bars, restaurants and other attractions. Jerusalem is where the western wall is located. it’s a holy place for both Jews, Muslims and Christians and is one of the most religious areas in Israel. The Dead Sea and Eilat are the hottest places in israel( you will get severely dehydrated) so drink plenty of water and put sunscreen on every 30 mins cuz u will get burned no matter what skin tone you are. Overall israel is a beautiful state and the IDF soldiers are humble that would sacrifice anything to defend their homeland. No they do not kill innocent people, don’t believe everything u hear on the media or news. They treat the Arabs with respect and are fellow neighbors. Disagree? Go to israel see for urself :)

Israel is a country ! Thank you!

1. The place to go if you want incredible falafel or shwarma, gorgeous wrap-around skirts, an abundance of kosher restaurants, camels and stray cats at every turn, and the most wonderful, breathtaking hikes you could possibly imagine.

2. Kind of like Teaneck, only less expensive.
Yeshiva Girl 1: Nice skirt! Where did you get it?
Yeshiva Girl 2: Why, Israel, of course!

Israel is the home of the Jewish people

The earliest known mention of the name 'Israel', probably referring to a group of people rather than to a place, is the Egyptian Merneptah Stele dated to about 1211 BCE. For over 3,000 years, Jews have regarded the Land of Israel as their homeland, both as a Holy Land and as a Promised land. The land of Israel holds a special place in Jewish religious obligations, encompassing Judaism's most important sites — including the remains of the First and Second Temples, as well as the rites concerning those temples. Starting around 1200 BCE, a series of Jewish kingdoms and states existed intermittently in the region for more than a millennium.

After a massive influx of Jews around 1920, the British Foreign Secretary (British liberated parts of the middle east in WWI from the Ottoman empire therefore according to them, it was under their control) Arthur J. Balfour issued the Balfour Declaration that "viewed with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people". Balfour promised the Jews a santuary although people (Arabs but as well as Jews) had already settled there. The area can be related to that of the earlier bedouin tribes in the Sanai peninsula.

Although there may not be a Palestine country per say, but the name was given to the area by the Roman empire. It was not fake infact it was spelled Palaestine.

The State may have an extremely powerful (for it's size) army, but it has been aided by the United States throughout its existance. Also credit going to the country as a whole for being as successful as it is, but once again there would not be an established government without the United States' support.

And to respond to Blue_blooded Israel's GDP is ranked 53rd on the list of countries in the world, the United Kingdom, which is otherwise known as England is ranked 6th. The standards of living may be closely related, but the GDP is no where near the standard of the United Kingdom.

Although when it is all said and done today Israel is an established state that is supported by the United States and also a prolific nuclear superpower. It isn't going anywhere anytime soon unless the United States realizes that Democracy will never survive in a radicallly islamic part of the world.

The country with the most use in pickup lines and also perhaps the most miss understood

For example “ IsRaEL nEvEr wAs ReAl “ tell that too the Romans who happened too call the land Judea or in coins after the 2nd temple was destroyed “Iudaea Capta” meaning “Judea has been conquered”

example 2 “jEws sAiD G-D gAvE tHem ISrAeL”

This one is just idiotically untrue first off Israel’s culture was made in Israel and Jews have maintained a constant presences there I don’t claim G-d gave the land too the Jews I claim Jews are indigenous too Israel there also happen too be many genetic studies that confirms this

Next up “IsRaEl iS a TeRRorIst sTate thAt kiLLs cHiLdReN” first off let me start out by saying a death of any child Jewish or Palestinian is a deep horrible crime but too claim that Israel does this purposely is straight up tries demonize Israelis and Jews Now this is false here’s why Israel’s OWN CODE OF ETHICS MANUEL it states “you may not kill a unarmed combatants” So any person doing this crime is acting alone and most that are ACTUALLY guilty are sent too jail and Israel tries very hard too limit civilian casualties by “Roof knocking” where before Israel Bombs they call everyone there in Aribic and and send out pantalets in Arabic next Israel sends of a knocker bomb (not real bomb)and then strikes but in fact Hamas forces them too stay i those houses but not is Hamas using Palestinians as Human shields
