Israel Facts That All Should Know

Nadene Goldfoot

The Palestine The League of Nations spoke of when they voted
for a Jewish National Homeland and gave England the mandate to fulfill this decision. 

                                               

Israel is 1/800 the size of the Arab world.

Israel is 9 miles wide at its narrowest point and 290
miles long.

Israel's territory is about 8,019 square miles.
                                

Israel is smaller than New Jersey, which is 8,729 square miles. New Jersey here is shown with more sq.mi, and Israel is shown with more.  Let's say they are almost the same size.    
                                                     

NJ is New Jersey on the east coast.  It's so small in comparison to the other
49 states.  

              
Israel can fit into the state of California 19 times.
                                                                         

The Jewish history goes back to Abraham, who both Jews and Arabs consider as the father of Judaism.  Jews have kept a continuous presence for over 3,000 years in the land of Israel 
according to archeological and historical evidence and Biblical text.  Consider the mosaic floor depicting King David playing his lyre, found in the ancient synagogue of Gaza.  This is now seen in the Israel Museum.  This is evidence of the truth in the Torah.  
                                                                       

Note that King David's name is in top right corner in Hebrew.  
David is clean shaven so must be young, with mustache. 
On his head is a crown.  Note his lyre is played with a tool,
not the fingers like a harp.  

"It is manifestly right that the scattered Jews should have a national center and national home and be reunited, and where else but in Palestine, with which for 3,000 year they have been intimately and profoundly associated?"  So sayeth Winston Churchill in 1920.

 Yet England turned around when oil was discovered there and helped Arabs enter Palestine but not the Jews who they had sworn to help to create a JEWISH HOMELAND.
Abdullah of Saudi Arabia had more to offer than the Jews.
He got land  called Trans-Jordan.
