Israeli History Newspaper Article
May 14th 1948 was the day that Israel was created. Israel declared independence on 14 May 1948, but the Jewish calendar is lunar and the holiday may occur in April or May. Israel was created as a result of the League of Nations Mandate of 1922, which granted a mandate to Great Britain to create a "National Home" for the Jews in Palestine. This right was based on the right to self-determination, a right shared by all peoples. Israel is a unique and fascinating country of startling beauty, with so much for you to see and discover. History and tradition, spectacular scenery and wild desert landscapes. Superb resorts, golden beaches, beautiful and interesting towns and cities all combine to give you a holiday of a lifetime. During the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel captured the West Bank from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Golan Heights from Syria, Gaza Strip (which was under Egyptian occupation), and Sinai from Egypt. It withdrew all troops and settlers from Sinai by 1982 and from the Gaza Strip by September 12, 2005. The future status of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip remains to be determined. East Jerusalem has been under Israeli civil law, jurisdiction and administration since 1967and the Golan Heights since 1981, though they have not been formally annexed.

1. I know I am going to the army ad serve my country makes me feel good. in Israel it is obvious you need to go to the army. If you think that it frightens me- so it doesn't. on the other hand he fact that my brother is going to the army next year does frightens me.
2. to live in the middle east isn’t so scary unless there is war because as you know we are surrounded by Arabic countries so we live in a constant threat.
