Historical And Cultural Differences Between The USAd Israel

The USA and USSR were both party to the UN Partition Plan of 1947 that led to the declaration of the state of Israel. Although not responsible for the 1948 War of Liberation, from which Israel emerged victorious, perceived Zionist support by the West fuelled nationalist sentiment and set the stage for future increased involvement by the superpowers.

Palestinians and Israelis fight over Jerusalem, both wanting the holy site as their capital. The U.N. split Palestine asunder, and the adjoining Arab states declared war on the new country. After months of vehement brawling, Israel and her contiguous Arab states acquiesced ceasing the war. Palestine and Israel differ in multifarious ways. Israel has attained land throughout years and has been identified as a country since 1948, whereas Palestine lives in Gaza Strip and West Bank forthwith, and does not classify as an autonomous country. Palestine’s common language is Arabic, however, Israelis speak Hebrew commonly. Also, they practice different religions, Palestinians practice the Islamic religion, while Israelis practice Judaism. This clash

For the America, maintaining the “special relationship” with Israel is in line with its interests. First, due to the special geography, Israel can serve as an important backing for the U.S. to preserve its dominance in the Middle East. Second, a powerful Israel with strong military capacity can help the U.S. fight against Islamic extremists and terrorists. Third, supporting Israel is in accord with the broadest conception of the American national interest --- supporting like-minded societies, because US-Israel relationship is based on moral obligation, shared cultural and political values and common strategic interests. Therefore, Israel constitutes “the most enduring and the most immediate interest” (Pollock

There are many things in common between the USA and Israel. An example would be that the USA’s Life expectancy at birth is 79.8 years, while Israel's Life expectancy at birth is 82.4. I think that number is close enough for them to be similar. Another example would be the Infant mortality rate. The USA’s Infant mortality rate is 5.8/1000, while Israel’s Infant mortality rate is 3.5/1000. Also, another example would be the country's Literacy Rate. The USA’s literacy rate is 99%, while Israel’s is 97.8%. The countries also have some differences, like the countries GDP Per Capita. The USA’s is $57,000, but Israel’s is $35,200. Another example of difference would be the country's Population Between Poverty Line. The USA’s PBPL

Back in 1948 when Israel was founded, World War II was over, and the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was just beginning. This paved the way for the United States to make a strategic move that has shaped the course of American policy to this day. In order to attempt to keep communism from spreading to the volatile region that is the Middle East, the United States created an unwritten alliance with the only country in the Middle East that was willing to do so: Israel. Fast forward to present day and the Cold War is no longer relevant to the purpose of “special relationship” between the US and Israel, but many new benefits have arisen that make the alliance worth maintaining. Critics of the alliance cite the idea that Israel receives more in aid than the United States get in return in benefits and that having Israel as an ally is more of a burden than it is worth. The three main categories in which the United States receives benefits from its alliance with Israel are political, economic, and military. Although critics of the United States’ alliance with Israel believe it is much too burdensome, the political, economic, and military benefits outweigh the negatives and make maintaining the alliance valuable in the future.

Their birth rate is significantly higher than their death rate, although both are in decline. Israel’s independence largely affects their stage on the demographic transition model. At the founding of the state of Israel, as the United State officially recognized the state of Israel and and President Truman. The nation of Israel began in late 1940’s, and was likely to have been in late stage 2 phase, due to less urbanization and armed conflicts. After five Arab nations invaded Palestine after Israel’s independence, the Arab-Israeli war began. Israel entered stage 3 after the Arab-Israeli war ended and United States aid to Israel provided

Israel is very close friends with the United States. Israelis have looked up to the US for political inspiration, financail and military assistance and diplomatic support. I have learn that Israel is very similar to the US in a lot of ways like playing soccer, basketball, and tennis. Israel has two main languages which are Hebrew and Arabic, they also have similar food sources. I think people would find that Israel is very interesting by how much Isreal supplies for building and construction work and how beautiful the coastline is on the country's border

America has been a great benefactor to the state of Israel. However, America should not support Israel unconditionally because it generates deep hatred from Arabs and that the government of Israel has shifted away form the democratic ideal and beliefs of America. The unconditional support of America towards Israel has caused Arab terrorist groups to hate and kill citizens of the United States. Also Israel’s has turned away from a democratic ideal that grants equal rights to all citizens.

David Ben-Gurion, who was the head of the Jewish Agency, help establishes the state of Israel (Brandon, 2004, p. 44). The same exact day that this happened U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized also acknowledged it as a state (Brandon, 2004, p.45). Prior to this the United States had been an advocate

Even though Israel has one of, if not the strongest defense forces in the world, it completely surrounded by countries that have hated, and continue to hate the Jewish people. A strong U.S.-Israel relationship has helped and will continue to help Israel handle their geographical burden much more easily. In addition to this when the U.S. makes strong relations with Israel it is not only

What surprised me most was that the information that I had learned was the complete opposite of the truth. Palestine has went through so much trauma and suffering because of Israel. They hardly ever have enough to live off of. Israel doesn’t want people fighting against their laws, they only want Palestine to do what they want. Israel has taken so much from Palestine, and they will suffer until someone stands up and breaks the chains on Palestine. Our two countries, the US and Israel have some values that are similar. We both love to be with family on holidays. We all help each other in times of need, and we all strive to have a better future for our children. Give them the life they deserve to have.

After Solomon died, the kingdom was divided into two: the Northern Kingdom, called Israel and the Southern Kingdom, called Judah. Common elements of two nations are that both the kings of Israel and Judah practiced idolatry. One of the most terrible king of Israel is king Ahab who ignores the God and spread idol worship of Baal. Although many of the kings served idols, a few kings of Judah served the God faithfully. One of the good kings of Judah is king Jehoshaphat who worshiped the God and educate his people do so too.

Isn’t it fascinating how all human race looks alike, has same biological form, is created and born same way, but yet completely different in how we do things or how we behave inside our cultures and ethnicities? Culture presents the sum of attitudes, customs, and beliefs that distinguishes one group of people from another. Culture is transmitted, through language, material objects, ritual, institutions, and art, from one generation to the next (Hirsch, Kett & Trefil, 2002).

The country that I choose for my project is Israel .The capital of Israel is Jerusalem. Israel’s Population is around 7,105,000 people. Three major cities in the country is Tel-Aviv, Haifa, and Ashdod. The prime minister of Israel is Benjamin Netanyahu, and the President of Israel is Reuven Rivilin. Israel Government is parliamentary democracy. The main religion practiced in the state of Israel is Jewish, Muslim, and Christianity.

The word "culture" derives from a French term, which in turn derives from the Latin "colere," which means to tend to the earth and grow, or cultivation and nurture. (Zimmerman 1) This can also lead to one concluding that culture changes as civilization is changed and advancements occur. I am culturally Arab. Specifically from around Jerusalem and many other farmer civilations. The cuisine, historical significance of the area, and it’s religions are some of the most distinct differences the region has culturally.
