Israel ( Hebrew ??????????, Yisra'el; Arabic ????????, Isra'il) officially the State of Israel ( Hebrew ???????? ??????????&_160; (help·info), Medinat Yisra'el; Arabic ???????? ????????????, Dawlat Isra'il), 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. [5] The West Bank and Gaza Strip are also adjacent. With a population of about 7.28 million, [3] the majority of whom are Jews, Israel is the world's only Jewish state. [6] 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.[7] 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."[8] In 1947, the United Nations approved the partition of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab.[9] On May 14, 1948 the state of Israel declared independence 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.[10] 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.[11] Israel is a representative democracy with a parliamentary system and universal suffrage.[12][13] 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.[14] Israel ranks high among Middle Eastern countries on the bases of human development,[15] freedom of the press,[16] and economic competitiveness.[17] Jerusalem is the country's capital, seat of government, and largest city, while Israel's main financial center is Tel Aviv. Over the past three thousand years, the name "Israel" has meant in common and religious usage both the Land of Israel and the entire Jewish nation.[18] According to the Bible the origin of the name is where Jacob is renamed Israel after successfully wrestling with an angel of God.[19]

5. Minority Christians Who Did Not Vote For Obama
November 10, 2008
Just as it shouldn't be assumed that Caucasians who didn't vote for Obama rejected the idea of a Black president; likewise, it should not be assumed that all minorities voted for him. Each side had its reasons for why it did or didn't support Mr. Obama. Christian minorities figure on both of those sides.
Most people intelligent enough to assess someone based on character and not ethnicity, would agree that; unfortunately, not much intelligence was employed by some Americans during this election. Very large numbers of minorities openly made known their reasons for supporting the president... (read more)

Factually hundreds of Hebrew seals and seal impersonations have been found in the last century. These hard-bitten clay seal impersonations are known as "bullae" (sg., bulla). In biblical Israel, papyrus was the main form of writing substance. Once an authorized deed was written, it would be rolled up, one end crinkled in one-third of the width and the contrary end likewise folded in. The document, now abridged by folding, was joined with a string and a lump of clay was impressed on the entwined string. Then the higher facade of the clay lump was impressed with the signet ring of the possessor... (read more)

10. Review-The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy
November 03, 2008
The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy, John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, 2007, ISBN 0374531501
This book takes a much-needed look at the "special relationship" that exists between America and Israel.
First of all, the authors do not question that Israel has the right to exist within secure borders, or its right to lobby Washington for its interests, or that America should aid Israel if it is attacked. But, the current unconditional level of US support for Israel ($154 billion since 1948) cannot be justified on moral or strategic grounds.
Perhaps Israel was a strategic all... (read more)

Selling as a career has a whole new set of rules when you're a Christian.
