Israel was created in 1948 in the Middle East. During it’s long history, its area, population and ownership varied greatly. The present state of Israel formally occupies all the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean ocean, bounded by Egypt in the south, Lebanon in the north, and Jordan in the East. The recognized borders of Israel constitute about 78% of the land. Actually, 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. After WW I Britain took control of Palestine, but there were many troubles between the Arabs who lived there and Jews who wanted to live there too. After the World War II, Britain decided to let the United Nations decide what to do with Palestine. The United Nations suggested separating Palestine into two countries, one Arab and one Jewish. Israel seems like a real good country to live in except for all the wars.

1)In my opinion the population of Israel is very unusual. First of all there is a definite majority of one religion: Judaism. In addition due to it's unique purpose of a Jewish country many people in Israel ,especially our generation, are diversified in terms of their nationalities because Jewish people from all over the world move and live here. For example my father's family came from Iraq after Israel was established and my mother's family came in from the USA. Israel's population isn't 100 percent Jewish : there are minorities like Arabs and Christians who have been living here since before Israel was established.
2) There are many military trainings in Israel. It depends on the job you are assigned to. You might be assigned to a combat unit therefore you will be trained as a combat soldier. You might be assigned as an air pilot therefore you will be trained as a pilot,etc..
