Newspaper Article for Israel
The State of Israel is a country in the Middle East. The State of Israel declared its independence in 1948, on May 14th, (5708, 05 lyar). The State of Israel was created to decrease the violence between the Jewish and the Arab people. The Palestine Mandate, a plan of dividing the territory into two parts, caused this violence. Zionism and the Holocaust were big contributions to the creation of the State of Israel. Zionism pressed the concept that the Jewish people rightfully belonged in the land of Israel. Zionism continues as a support system to the government and state to insure that Israel maintains the position as the homeland of the Jewish people.
Israel is the only Jewish state, making it very unique. It also is the only country in the Middle East considered a liberal democracy. It is one of the youngest countries and holds the largest population of Jewish people. Israel frequently experiences attacks by neighboring Arab territories and has had many wars in its short time as a country. There has always been tension and conflicts because of religions between the Jewish and the Arab people. They are almost continuously fighting off territories to save there land witch is why there have been so many wars.
One of the many strengths Israel has is there army. It is essential that they have a fierce army to protect their territory from the many attacks they endure. One of the biggest weaknesses is the geography id Israel. The neighboring countries of Israel lack financial status. Israel is behind in technology and is trying to advance.
My personal opinion with the history of Israel is that they should come they should try to make peace with the Arab people. I still don’t quite understand why they are attacked so often. I think that Israel is very different from the U.S. by technology, climate, religions, and the status of their security. They U.S. does not constantly have to fight to keep our country and Israel shouldn’t either.
Questions:
1. How do the people of Israel feel about being attacked so often?
2. How do you feel about the conflicts between Israel and Arabs?

hi Ashly, I'll try to answer your questions:
It is a very hard condition to be in. I know everybody in Israel want peace, and want the violence to stop. But we have no choice. So we leave our live as normally as possible.
I can't imagine living in Sderot for example, which is a city in Israel that is close to the border and being attacked all the time.
About the conflict with Arabs, I personally have more peaceful opinions. but it is very complicated. they want all of our country. and there is nothing we can do. it's all depends on how much are you ready to give.
