Israel

Israel is a mostly Jewish country in the Middle East. Its biggest Religion is Judaism. They're in a current "Cold War" with Several Palestinian Organizations and some of the Arab countries.

History
Israel is believed to be where Abraham ventured after his Covenant, and where He started his Legacy, which is the Reason for why the Land is so Important for the Jews. According to the Bible, his Grandson, Jacob (also called Israel) went to Egypt with his children, which gives an Explanation for why the Land was later filled with Canaanite People.

The land of Israel was controlled by the Proto-Canaaite culture, then The Egyptian New Kingdom conquered Israel. Jerusalem, the Country's capital, has been part of many countries/ empires. after the Egyptian New Kingdom left out Israel, The Jebsuites conquered the land, Then, it's believed that David lived in Jerusalem in His Kingdom of Israel, House of David. Back in the Bible, after David's son, Salomon (which also Built the temple that led to One hill in Jerusalem becoming a reason for Full scale wars), died, the Kingdom Split to the Southern Kingdom of Judah and the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The Assyrians Conquered Israel but made a Deal with the King of Judah. Later, the Babylonians took over Assyria, and also took Judah, sending the People to Babylon and starting the First Jewish Exile.

Persia later took Babylon and Restored Partial Jewish Reign in the Area, letting the Jews rebuild their country, including the Temple that was destroyed by the Babylonians. However, Alexander the Great took over Persia and Built up the mighty Macedonian Empire. He and his successors ruled the land of Israel by themselves, without any Jewish Reign. However, a Rebellion started and the Hashmonites took over the Land, restoring the Jewish Reign. And that, my friends, is Why we Celebrate Hanukah. Although it was later conquered by the Romans, they did let the Jewish king Herod (which was very Pro- Roman) rule the Country, but after his death, the Romans officially took over, which led to a Rebelion, which led to the Collapse of the Second temple and Second Jewish Exile, this time, spread all over the Empire.

It's said by the Christian Religion that Jesus was born in The Year 0 AD in Israel, making it a Holy land for the Christians. Then the Roman Empire split into the Westren Roman Empire, which collapsed, and the Byzantine Empire, which controlled Israel. The Caliphates took the Land, and Controlled it until their collapse and the start of the Seljuq Empire. Then Jerusalem became The (Crusader) Kingdom of Jerusalem which controlled part of Israel. Saladin then conquered them. The Mamluk Sultanate, (Cairo), controlled Israel during that time, but then for a long time it was Ottoman. After all, the Ottomans could conquer everything they saw, well kinda... They Heavily Restricted Jewish rights in Israel.

During WW1, the armed conflict between the Entente Powers and the Central Powers was an Allied victory, so The British were given the land of Palestine from the Ottoman Empire. They split the land into two parts, Israel (which is 30% of Palestine, for the Jewish people) and Jordan (Which is 70% of Palestine, for the Arabs). The Arabs wanted more land and so some of them stayed in Israel while the Jews left Jordan. The British allowed the arabs to enter the Israel freely, but they restricted Jewish people from entering multiple times, which caused the Jews to Start revolting. In 1947, a plan to Partition the Israeli side of Palestine to a Arab Part and a Jewish part passed in the UN, yet Rejected by the Members of the Arab league.

In May 14th, 1948, The State of Israel Declared independence, and Most arab countries declared war against it. Israel won, and the Israeli-Palestinian land was split between Israel, Jordan (which took the West bank and although "supporting" The Israeli-Arabs there, never gave it independence) and Egypt (same as Jordan, but with the Gaza strip). Israel had a time of Restoration and in 1967, was attacked again by the Arab Countries, but won in six days with Western Support. In gained the West bank from Jordan, the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip from Egypt, and the Golan Heights from Syria. In 1973, a war started again but ended with no Territorrial changes, with huge losses from both Sides. In 1979, A peace treaty was signed with Egypt and Israel gave up Sinai.

In the Early 1990s, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (who was also the General that won the Six-day war) "Fought for Peace" and Signed Peace treaties with Jordan and the PLO, and gave most of the land in the West bank and all of the Gaza strip to a PLO reign. Later, it stopped the Occupation of Gaza, leading to Hamas (a Palestinian Terrorrist Organization) taking over and starting to Bombard Israel. This caused Several Israeli Operations in Gaza against Hamas. Today, Israel is Heavily Criticized about its Policies in the West Bank and Gaza strip.
