Good Luck!!!

Could be better.

There is no war with Palestine, as you thought. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs. The name "Falastin" that Arabs today use for "Palestine" is not an Arabic name, but adopted and adapted from the Latin Palestina. How can an Arab people have a western name instead of one in their own language? Because the use of the term "Palestinian" for an Arab group is only a modern political creation without any historic or ethnic grounds, and did not indicate any people before 1967. An Arab writer and journalist declared: indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of one percent of the landmass. But that's too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today... No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough.

Israel is a wonderful place to visit and live. Surrounded by enemies it exists well and provides it's 20% Muslim population full democratic rights including women's right to vote (one of the few countries in the ME to do so). Lands that are occupied were done so after Israel was attacked in the 6 day war and are Israel's by right - moral and historical. That's how the US got Texas, New Mexico and California.

Well, as the "Palestinians" seem to say we took their land (you started a war you lost the war you lost the land get over it) and think it is ok to blow up our children as well as sacrifice their own then it is not a good situation. The "Palestinians" will not even acknowledge the right of Jews to exist, let alone Israel. They seem to believe that Mohammed said it was ok to kill us all.

As you can well imagine, it makes for some amazing tension.

The Muslims in the Arab countries account for 326 million people. There are barely 5 million in Israel. The Arab/Muslim world has 4.3 million square miles. Israel is maybe 10,000 square miles. Israel has a 95% literacy rate. The Arab world is 66%. Life expectency in Israel is 75. In Afghanistan it is 45. Most other Arab countires fall below the 70 mark.

The average yearly income of a family in Israel is 18,000 (it was higher when we could get tourists to come). The average yearly income of the Arab world in general is about 4,000.

Israel is a democracy in the middle of a region made of people who want to destroy every last man woman and child living on the land, yet we thrive far beyond our Muslim Arab neighbors.

Muslims living within the borders of Israel have a far greater life that those living in other Arab lands etc. They are allowed freedom of religion and have a vote in the democratic process. No one will kill them because they slept with their bosses wife or shaved their beard or converted to another religion. They have rights they have no where else.

How is that for positive?

the entire conflict skinny started an prolonged time in the past. the super combat is approximately whose land it is by way of fact in roman tmes the Jews lved there then they rebelled and have been given kicked out. The arabs moved in and settled. After WW2 the Jews have been despatched decrease back to Palestine because it become then because it become decrease than british mandate (meaning that the united kingdom ought to form of govern it for them). the two factors started battling and has finished ever considering that. there have been many peace plans etc incliding the UN Partition Plan (UNPP)1947(think of) the Oslo accords and the "Roadmap for peace int he center East". None have worked becaus eof 3 important subject concerns. a million) Palestinian Refugees who have been kicked off of their land while the UNPP started, and while they fled thier hmes in terro after the Deir Yassin assaults by way of the Israeli military. 2) the status of Jerusalem. the city is the focal element for many faiths which comprise Jeudais and islam. it isobviosly a hotspot for battling because of this. 3) Jewish settlements in Arab land additionally motives lots aggavation. by way of possibility to the inhabitants the Israelli military defends them and controlls themovement of arabs in Palestine heavily regardless of the shown fact that it is no longer their land to control. i'm questioning you're relating the wall it fairly is being outfitted to encompass the West monetary company and could effectively decrease off or impact around one hundred twenty five thousand refugees and decrease off water components and fertile agricultural land. The wall become stimulated by way of the Berlin wall and if allowed to ensue will recommend that the west monetary company will effectively become the main important reformatory on earth. It genuinely breaches worldwide regulation however the UN does no longer something by way of fact the u . s . a . backed the Israelis interior the chilly conflict and offered them with weapons. Now as some have stated they recieve thousands and thousands of greenbacks nicely worth of help a year. yet one greater reason "Western superpowers" do no longer intervene is with the help of the fact the Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist sect, is in skill interior the west monetary company and none of them choose to bee seen as to be negotiating(sp) with terroists. Sorry for the essay yet i've got basically surpassed in a splash course artwork in this and understand somewhat lots on the topic of the subject.

They're making fantastic strides in in technology. I just read about a new DNA method for treating heart disease. Israel leads the way for computer technology.

I'm just rushing out so unfortunately I can't give you a more detailed answer, though I will try to later or tomorrow.

Meanwhile, do check out some of the more positive discussions we, Jews and Muslims, are trying to have in this forum. And of course, you are welcome to join in!

The Israeli leaders policy is to keep occupying land that was never part of Israel. There is not one country in the world is willing to recognize that occupied land is part of Israel.

so the situation in Israel is Israel VS. the world not only Palestine.

its more a less quite the pa shot rokets and the boder sites we shot back once in a while but other then that it all perfectly ok

Same old, same old.
