Israel Travel Doc Part 10

Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia located on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan in the east, and Egypt on the southwest, and contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area. The West Bank and Gaza Strip are also adjacent. With a population of about 7.28 million, the majority of whom are Jews, Israel is the world's only Jewish state. It is also home to Arabs, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Samaritans, as well as other religious and ethnic minority groups.

The modern state of Israel has its roots in the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael), a concept central to Judaism for over 3000 years. After World War I, the League of Nations approved the British Mandate of Palestine with the intent of creating a "national home for the Jewish people." In 1947, the United Nations approved the partition of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. On May 14, 1948 the state of Israel declared independence in accordance with the UN decision and this was followed by a war with the surrounding Arab states, which refused to accept the plan. The Israelis were subsequently victorious in a series of wars confirming their independence and expanding the borders of the Jewish state beyond those in the UN Partition Plan. Since then, Israel has been in conflict with many of the neighboring Arab countries, resulting in several major wars and decades of violence that continue to this day. Since its foundation, Israel's boundaries and even the State's very right to exist have been subject to dispute, especially among its Arab neighbors. However, Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, and efforts are being made to reach a permanent accord with the Palestinians.

Israel is a representative democracy with a parliamentary system and universal suffrage. The Prime Minister serves as head of government and the Knesset serves as Israel's legislative body. In terms of nominal gross domestic product, the nation's economy is estimated as being the 44th-largest in the world.Israel ranks high among Middle Eastern countries on the bases of human development, freedom of the press, and economic competitiveness.Jerusalem is the country's capital, seat of government, and largest city, while Israel's main financial center is Tel Aviv.

After the violence the paraniod system continues of humiliation by Terrorist jews who daily kill Palestinians while denying basic human rights because a SICK PIG TERRORIST RABBI BRAINWASHED THAT kid into the army preaching that God told you its "Ok" to kill for this religious text called the Torah......No Jew can deny this and thats the problem HILTERAY CLINTON doesn't want to talk about either.

[OccupationSurvivor]

@Davediamant Nah I warn my children about Extremeist Jews who kill because of religious text.

These children of Jewish terrorists tried killing 5 Americans because of their origin. Thats it. I have proof. Letters from Senators and Congressman who were recorded as helpless while Americans held at gunpoint by extremist illegal maniacs

@OccupationSurvivor As I said - Foriegn Aid going to this Rabiical Terrorist Group that is committing ethnic cleansing and massacres like the GAZA 2009 slaughter of 1476 Unarmed civilians including 600 babies that were melted/bombed with phosphorous gas, 1 ton bombs at schools full of kids. Israelis are not Americas friend. Does a Palestinian have a Jet,Tank, or Helicopter? Not one...Anyone feeding you anything else is B.S. I lived there!!!!!!!!

[OccupationSurvivor]

@Davediamant 25 Palestinians who protested the massacre were subsequently shot to death by Israeli troops under the command of Ehud Barak. Goldstein was a disciple of the late Brooklyn Rabbi Meir Kahane, who told Mike Wallace of CBS News that his teaching that Arabs are "dogs" is derived "from the Talmud." 501

[OccupationSurvivor]

@Davediamant During the rabbinic festival of Purim, Feb. 25, 1994, a Brooklyn-born physician and Israeli Army officer, Baruch Goldstein, slaughtered 40 Palestinian civilians, including children, and wounded 150 others, while they knelt in prayer in a mosque in Hebron.

[Davediamant]

@OccupationSurvivor ....just because what....how many homegrown terrorist you have in the u.s....brainwashed Muslim with u.s citizenship are become the most dangerous terrorist alive......do you want me to give an example or something...?

[OccupationSurvivor]

Jewish Zionist radicals almost murdered my 3 American born children just because they would not honor their American mothers citizenship because of her origin. We are blinding funding jewish terrorists to harrass American families through terror group lobbyists called AIPAC and the JDL
