We’ve so far established that It is no surprise that religion was a huge factor which triggered the creation of Israel but some individuals use the Israel Declaration of Independence to put forward the argument that ‘Israel may be a “Jewish state” in a cultural sense, but at least no more so than America can be called a “Christian state.”’ (Bird, 2014). Theoretically this argue seems valid because the Israeli Declaration of Independence ‘defines the state as granting equality of social and political rights, irrespective of religion, race or sex’ (Nawaz, 2009). Yet what these individuals are failing to acknowledge is no Israeli leadership has or is abiding by these norms and the only people who really are subjected to having these rights are

Israel’s economy is very high, and is one of the most highly ranked nations in the Arab and Middle Eastern region. It is an extremely well developed economic country considering that the country only consists of 8 million people. The country lacks a lot of natural resources and products and relies on other countries to support it on this cause, Israel’s education department is one of the merely advanced department throughout its region and competes with other countries. An example of Israel’s economy is Israel’s Dead Sea

Close community is valued in the Jewish culture. The well-being of a single person is not a private matter but involves the gathering of the Jewish community (Jacobs & Giarelli, 2001). This moral belief is not exclusive to helping and supporting other Jewish, but also non-Jewish people (Davey, Fish, & Robila, 2001).

Israel is one of the smallest countries in our world. Its role in the world’s affairs, however has been large since its independence from British rule in May 1948. They say if you ask 100 people what culture is to them you will get 100 different answers. I believe E. B. Tylor said it best: "that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society"(E. B. Tylor).

Historically, the greatest innovations in both the arts and sciences, medicine as well as religion, were achieved when there was cross dialogue and harmony amongst the different religions, factions and nationalities. By getting different opinions and viewpoints on anything can significantly enhance whatever is being discussed and therefore can make a better and stronger product or idea. Without a doubt, history most definitely repeats itself and Israel is no exception.

Israelis and Palestinians are in a conflict over the land known as Israel. This conflict started way back in 135 AD when the Jews were kicked out of their homeland. The land turned into Palestine and the Jews had no homeland and was known as Diaspora. To this day they are still fighting over the land. Israel should not have to share the land with Palestine.

The country of Israel was founded in early 1948 (Bard, 1998). Israel is currently, the only Jewish state in the world and was recently ranked by US News and World Reports, as the 8th most powerful country in the world in 2015 as stated in article Jewish virtual library (Bard, 1998). Israel has a terrain which consists of mostly mountains, plains, coasts, and desert. The country has a population of about 7.59 million citizens with an annual population growth rate of (2009 est.): 1.7% (Background notes on countries of the world: Israel, 2010). Since the 1980’s, Israel began to earn a sufficient amount of wealth from the country’s natural resources in fertilizers and pesticides, petrochemicals and plastics. Unfortunately for Israel, every good thing eventually comes to an end. While the country has had a lot of natural resources in the past, the country began to see more pollution and a steady decline in the country’s resources in the year 2012. As mentioned in the article, The Environmental Impact of Israeli Settlements on the Occupied

After World War II, Israel fought to defend its existence, and they benefited from foreign aid. Most of the initial Israeli leaders were immigrants. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants immigrated to Israel, and with this came population growth and a variety of skills in business and manufacturing. Israel soon became one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. The Middle East region has probably suffered more rivalry and conflict than any other part of the world and in the early 2000's there was an escalation of violence in parts of the Middle East. Past tensions between Palestinians and Israelis fueled wider tensions, which helped engender wider efforts by Islamic terrorists.The Islamic region holds about 60% of the world's

Israel is one of the world’s smallest countries with a total area of 7,850 square miles. Since its independence from British rule in May 1948, Israel has become home to some of the holiest sites of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.

Cold, air-conditioned air that I once took for granted blows throughout my garnished bedroom as I write this essay. The new Ariana Grande song plays on full blast as the usual scents and aromas of my mom’s Iranian cooking sneaks under the crevice of my tightly shut door to entice and remind me of my childhood memories. This modest, humble house where I have grown accustomed to the bizarre Kurdish culture of my parents is home to the language skills, artistic vision, and most importantly the influence of my Middle Eastern heritage.

Though many holidays and traditions are Jewish, much of the art, music, and food is similar to the rest of the Middle East. The art in Israel often reflects the blend of cultures and history, with early

Zionism is a nationalist and political movement of Jews and Jewish culture that supports the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the historic Land of Israel. In the late 19th century of central and eastern Europe, Zionism begins as a national revival movement, a counter-attack to the strong anti-Semitic nationalist movements in Europe. Not so long after this, Zionism leaders decide to combine their goals with establishing the new state in Palestine.

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.
