List of tallest buildings in Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv is the second largest city in the State of Israel. Most of the tallest buildings in Israel are located in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is noted for its recent development as a hub in high-rise buildings due to its soaring price of real estate. Almost all the buildings above 100 metres were built within the past two decades.
From 1965 to 1999, Israel's first skyscraper, the Shalom Meir Tower, was the country's tallest building. The current tallest building in Tel Aviv is the Azrieli Center Circular, one of the three buildings that make up the Azrieli Center.
The following table lists the tallest buildings in Tel Aviv down to 120 meters. When multiple buildings are the same height, they are listed in order of floor count.

Safed
Safed (Hebrewצְפַת TzfatAshkenaziTzfasBiblicalṢ'fathArabicصفد‎,Ṣafad) is a city in the Northern District of Israel. Located at an elevation of 900 metres (2,953 ft), Safed is the highest city in the Galilee and in Israel. Due to its high elevation, Safed experiences warm summers and cold, often snowy, winters. Since the 16th century, Safed has been considered one ofJudaism's Four Holy Cities, along with JerusalemHebron and Tiberias; since that time, the city has remained a center of Kabbalah, also known asJewish mysticism.
Due to its mild climate and scenic views, Safed is a popular holiday resort frequented by Israelis and foreign visitors.  more from Wikipedia

Sharon plain
The Sharon plain (Hebrewהשרון (Ha-Sharon)‎) is the northern half of the coastal plain of Israel.
The Plain lies between the Mediterranean Sea to the west and the Samarian Hills, 15 km (9.3 mi) to the east. It stretches from Haifa and Mount Carmelin the north to the Yarkon River in the south, at the edge of the present city of Tel Aviv, about 90 km (56 mi). Parts of the Plain are included in theHaifaCentral, and Tel Aviv Districts of Israel. In 2008, the Sharon Plain was home to 1,131,600 people, 965,300 of them (85.3%) are Jews, and 166,300 (14.6%) are Arabs.
The Plain of Sharon is mentioned in the Bible (1 Chron. 5:16, 27:29; Isaiah 33:9, 35:2, 65:10), including the famous reference to the enigmatic "Rose of Sharon" (Song of Solomon 2:1). Historically, While some parts of the Sharon plain were very fertile, much of it was swampy and malarial, a condition exacerbated by massive Ottoman deforestation. Zionistimmigrants arrived in the early 20th century, drained much of the swampy land, and populated the region with many settlements. In 2008, it was the most densely populated region of Israel.

The Messiah's Donkey
In Jewish tradition, The Messiah's Donkey (Hebrewחמורו של משיח) refers to the donkey upon which the Messiah will arrive to redeem the world at theend of days. In Modern Hebrew the phrase "the Messiah's donkey" is used to refer to someone who does the 'dirty work' on behalf of someone else.
The origin of the belief can be found in Zechariah 9:9: "... your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." The 'king' referred to in this verse is interpreted by Chazal as referring to the Messiah.
In the discussion regarding this verse in the Babylonian Talmud (Sanhedrin98a) a story is told of the Persian king Shevor, who asks Samuel one of theAmoraimWhy doesn't your Messiah come riding on a horse? If he lacks one, I'll be glad to provide him with one of my fast horses! In response to the ridicule of the king, Samuel answers: Do you have a horse that has a hundred shades of color? [As the donkey of the messiah will be such].
In the New Testament (Mark 11:1-11) it is told that as Jesus approached theMount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples to a nearby village to fetch him a donkey. Upon their return, Jesus then rode the donkey into Jerusalem where he was met by cheering crowds. According to the Christian religious tradition, this was the fulfillment of the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9.
A similar story can also be found in the Islamic religious tradition: it is written that before the arrival of the Mahdi, the Dajjal will appear riding a white donkey.  more from Wikipedia

Nahal settlement
Nahal settlements (Hebrewהיאחזות נח"ל‎, Hiahzut Nahal) were settlements established by Nahal soldiers in Israel and Israeli-occupied territories. Supporting Jewish settlement growth and expansion throughout Israel was once the main focus of the Nahal military brigade. The goal for every Nahal settlement was to become a civilian settlement and serve as a first line of defense against potential future Arab invasions. This method of encouraging settlement was particularly effective in less desirable areas (mainly, in the Negev, the Galilee, the Arabah, and after the Six-Day Warthe West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula).
The first Nahal settlement was Nahal Oz located in the northwestern Negevdesert close to the border with the Gaza Strip.
A number of former Nahal settlements are now 100% civilian. Many of today's kibbutzim were originally Nahal settlements. The last Nahal settlement was closed in 2001.

8th Armored Brigade (Israel)
The 8th Armored Brigade (Hebrewחטיבה שמונה‎, Hativa Shmoneh) was anIsraeli mechanized brigade headquartered near Jerusalem. It was the Israel Defense Forces' first armoured brigade which possessed tanksjeeps andarmored personnel carriers (APCs), whereas all other IDF units at the time were entirely infantry-based.
The brigade was called 'armored' for morale reasons, although in reality it only had a single tank company (later in the war, two companies), and a single APC company (these companies became the brigade's armoredbattalion), and an assault battalion composed of jeeps.
The Brigade's first commander was Yitzhak Sadeh.

Al-Faluja
al-Faluja (Arabicالفالوجة‎) was a Palestinian Arab village in the British Mandate for Palestine, located 30 kilometers northeast of Gaza City. The village and the neighbouring village of Iraq al-Manshiyya formed part of the Faluja pocket, where 4,000 Egyptian troops, who had entered the area as a result of the 1948 war, were besieged for four months by the newly established Israel Defense Forces. The 1949 Armistice Agreements allowed for a peaceful transfer of those areas outside Gaza to Israeli control, allowing Egyptian troops to remain in Gaza. Following the agreements, the Arab residents were harassed and abandoned the villages. The Israeli town of Kiryat Gat, as well as the moshav Revaha, border the site of the former town.  more from Wikipedia

Meet the Muslims who sacrificed themselves to save Jews and fight Nazis in World War II
Given recent history, it's a story that deserves retelling. Noor Inayat Khan led a very unusual life. She was born in 1914 to an Indian Sufi mystic of noble lineage and an American half-sister of Perry Baker, often credited with introducing yoga into America. As a child, she and her parents escaped the chaos of revolutionary Moscow in a carriage belonging to Tolstoy’s son. Raised in Paris in a mansion filled with her father’s students and devotees, Khan became a virtuoso of the harp and the veena, dressed in Western clothes, graduated from the Sorbonne and published a book of children’s tales — all before she was 25. Read on

Senate warns "strong response" prepared to Palestinian ICC action - Jerusalem Post
Key members of the United States Senate issued a warning to the Palestinian Authority on Friday, warning the "deplorable, counterproductive" decision to join the International Criminal Court "will be met with a strong response." "Existing US law makes clear that if the Palestinians initiate an ICC judicially authorized investigation, or actively support such an investigation, all economic assistance to the PA must end," senators said in a statement. "In light of this legal requirement, Congress will reassess its support for assistance to the PA and seek additional ways to make clear to President Abbas that we strongly oppose his efforts to seek membership in the ICC." Read on

Archaeological sites in Israel
The archaeology of Israel is the study of the archaeology of the present-day Israel, stretching from prehistory through three millennia of documented history. The ancient Land of Israel was a geographical bridge between the political and cultural centers of Mesopotamia and Egypt. Despite the importance of the country to three major religions, serious archaeological research only began in the 15th century. The first major work on the antiquities of Israel was Adrian Reland's Palestina ex monumentis veteribus, published in 1709. Edward Robinson, an American theologian who visited the country in 1838, published the first topographical studies. A Frenchman, Louis Felicien de Saucy, embarked on the first "modern" excavations in 1850.
In discussing the state of archaeology in Israel in his time, David Ussishkincommented in the 1980s that the designation "Israeli archeology" no longer represents a single uniform methodological approach; rather, its scope covers numerous different archaeological schools, disciplines, concepts, and methods currently in existence in Israel.  more from Wikipedia

Jerusalem Bird Observatory
The Jerusalem Bird Observatory is an urban bird observatory in Israel, sited on a 5000 m plot in central Jerusalem between the Knesset and theSupreme Court. It has a strategic location on the bird migration route between Africa and Eurasia along the Great Rift Valley. Every spring and fall more than 500 million birds migrate through Israel. Two-thirds of the species seen in Jerusalem are migratory.
Established in 1994 by the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel, the observatory serves as the national bird banding center. It was founded, and is directed, by naturalist Amir Balaban and ornithologist Gidon Perleman. Two hundred birds are banded every day by trained volunteers during the spring and fall migrations.  more from Wikipedia

Old City (Jerusalem)
The Old City (Hebrewהעיר העתיקה‎, Ha'Ir Ha'AtiqahArabicالبلدة القديمة‎, al-Balda al-QadimahArmenianԵրուսաղեմի հին քաղաքYerusaghemi hin k'aghak' ) is a 0.9 square kilometers (0.35 sq mi) walled area within the modern city of Jerusalem. Until 1860, when the Jewish neighborhoodMishkenot Sha'ananim was established, this area constituted the entire city of Jerusalem. The Old City is home to several sites of key religious importance: the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque for Muslims, theTemple Mount and Western Wall for Jews and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for Christians, It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage SiteList in 1981.
Traditionally, the Old City has been divided into four uneven quarters, although the current designations were introduced only in the 19th century. Today, the Old City is roughly divided into the Muslim Quarter, theChristian Quarter, the Jewish Quarter and the Armenian Quarter. The Old City's monumental defensive walls and city gates were built in the late 16th century by the Ottomans. The current population of the Old City resides mostly in the Islamic and Christian quarters. As of 2007 the total population was 36,965; the breakdown of religious groups in 2006 was 27,500 Muslims, 5,681 Christians, 790 Armenians and 3,089 Jews.
Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the Old City was captured by Jordanand Jewish residents were evicted. During the Six-Day War in 1967, which saw hand-to-hand fighting on the Temple Mount, Israeli forces captured the Old City along with the rest of East Jerusalem, subsequently annexing them as Israeli territory and reuniting them with the western part of the city. Today, the Israeli government controls the entire area, which it considers part of its national capital. However, the Jerusalem Law of 1980, which effectively annexed East Jerusalem to Israel, was declared null and void byUnited Nations Security Council Resolution 478. East Jerusalem is now regarded by the international community as part of occupied Palestinian territory.
In 2010, Jerusalem's oldest fragment of writing was found outside the Old City's walls.  more from Wikipedia

Development towns
Development town (Hebrewעיירת פיתוח‎, Ayarat Pitu'ah) is a term used to refer to the new settlements that were built in Israel during the 1950s in order to provide permanent housing to a large influx of Jewish refugees from Arab countries, Holocaust survivors from Europe and other new immigrants (Olim), who arrived to the newly established State of Israel. The towns were designated to expand the population of the country's peripheral areas and to ease development pressure on the country's crowded centre. The towns are the results of the Sharon plan - the master plan of Israel. The majority of such towns were built in the Galilee in the north of Israel, and in the northern Negev desert in the south. In addition to the new towns, Jerusalem was also given development town status in the 1960s.
In the context of the Arab-Israeli conflictJewish refugees were initially resettled in refugee camps known variously as Immigrant camps,Ma'abarot, and "development towns" prior to absorption into mainstreamIsraeli society. Conversely, many Palestinian refugees remain settled inPalestinian refugee camps, while others have been absorbed into Jordanian society or the Palestinian territories. Since 1948, the sovereign State of Israel has guaranteed asylum and citizenship to Jewish refugees, while the self-declared State of Palestine remains unable to absorb the Palestinian refugees, due to lack of de facto sovereignty over its claimed territories.  more from Wikipedia

Postal codes in Israel
Postal codes in Israel (Hebrewמיקוד‎, Mikud) are numeric and consist of seven digits. They are assigned from north to south, thus, Metula in the north has 10292 as its postal code, and Eilat in the south was assigned 88xxx. Jerusalem postal codes start with the digit 9, although this does not correspond with its geographical location. Each postal code corresponds to a mail carrier route or RR, thus, when the letters are sorted by the postal code, they are assigned to a specific carrier.
Army unit postal codes start with a 0 and are not changed even if a unit is roaming.
In March 2012 the Israel Post service announced that it will move to a seven-digit postal code from 5 December 2012, although this date was subsequently put back to 1 February 2013. Changes to specific postal codes may be searched on Israel Post's website.
Starting on February 2013 the Israel postcodes change from 5 to 7-digit.
The 5-Digit codes will be valid until 31. January 2013.  more from Wikipedia

Arabah
The Arabah (HebrewהָעֲרָבָהHaAravah, lit. "desolate and dry area";Arabicوادي عربة‎, Wādī ʻAraba), known in Hebrew as Aravah, is a geographic name used with two different meanings in antiquity and in modern times. The old meaning, which was in use up to the early 20th century, covered almost the entire length of what is today called the Jordan Rift Valley, running in a north-south orientation between the southern end of the Sea of Galilee and the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba atAqaba/Eilat. This included the Jordan River Valley between Sea of Galilee and Dead Sea, the Dead Sea itself, and what is commonly called today the Wadi Arabah or Arava Valley. The modern use of the term is restricted to this southern section alone. In both cases, it forms part of the border between Israel to the west and Jordan to the east.  more from Wikipedia

Ancient Israel and Judah

Israel and Judah were related Iron Age kingdoms of the ancient Levant. TheKingdom of Israel emerged as an important local power by the 9th century BCE before falling to the Neo-Assyrian Empire in 722 BCE. Israel's southern neighbor, the Kingdom of Judah, emerged in the 8th century BCE and enjoyed a period of prosperity as a client-state of first Assyria and thenBabylon before a revolt against the Neo-Babylonian Empire led to its destruction in 586 BCE. Following the fall of Babylon to the Persian kingCyrus the Great in 539 BCE, some Judean exiles returned to Jerusalem, inaugurating the formative period in the development of a distinctive Judahite identity in the Persian province of Yehud. Yehud was absorbed into the subsequent Hellenistic kingdoms that followed the conquests ofAlexander the Great, but in the 2nd century BCE the Judaeans revolted against the Hellenist Seleucid Empire and created the Hasmonean kingdom. This, the last nominally independent Judean kingdom, came to an end in63 BCE with its conquest by Pompey of Rome. With the installation of client kingdoms under the Herodian Dynasty, the Kingdom of Israel was wracked by civil disturbances which culminated in the First Jewish–Roman War, the destruction of the Temple, the emergence of Rabbinic Judaism andEarly Christianity.  more from Wikipedia

1979 Nahariya attack
The 1979 Nahariya attack (codenamed by its perpetrators as the Nasser Operation) was a raid by four Palestine Liberation Front (PLF) militants inNahariyaIsrael on April 22, 1979.
The group, consisting of Abdel Majeed Asslan, Mhanna Salim al-Muayed, and Ahmed al-Abras, and led by 16-year-old Samir Kuntar, used a small, 55 horsepower (41 kW) boat to travel from Tyre, Lebanon to Israel. The raid resulted in the deaths of four Israelis – including a father and two of his young children – and two of the perpetrators. Kuntar and al-Abras were captured, convicted of murder by an Israeli court, and sentenced to several life sentences.
Both Kuntar and al-Abras were later set free in prisoner swap deals conducted between Israel and Lebanese militant organizations – al-Abras in 1985, and Kuntar in 2008.

Palestinian domestic weapons production
Even before the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, various militantPalestinian (Palestinian resistance) groups built domestically-produced weapons for use against the Israel Defense Forces and for attacks againstIsrael. Most of the effort has been in the production of unguided artillery rockets, though Hamas has built its own versions of anti-tank missiles androcket-propelled grenades (RPGs). Though usually smuggled across theEgyptian border into the Gaza Strip and to a lesser extent Jordanian border into the West Bank, various small arms are believed to be produced in thePalestinian territories. On 14 August 2008 the Popular Resistance Committees showed off the Nasser-4 missile, an upgraded version of the existing Nasser-3.  more from Wikipedia

Yair Farm
Yair Farm (Hebrewחוות יאיר‎, Havat Yair) is an Israeli outpost in the West Bank. Located near Nofim and Yakir, it falls under the jurisdiction ofShomron Regional Council. It is home to around 15 families.
It was first established in 1999, and named after Yair Stern, leader of the pre-state underground militant group Lehi, though the community's website notes the name of Yair ben Menashe. Although it was later evacuated, it was re-established in February 2001. According to Peace Now, the parent settlement of this outpost is Yakir and 17,666 square metres (190,160 sq ft) of the area that this outpost is built on is expropriated private Palestinian land. The Sasson Report reported that the Israeli Ministry of Housing and Construction had allocated 1 million NIS for the construction of several structures at the outpost.
Yair Farm, like all Israeli outposts, is illegal under Israeli law. The international community views Israeli outposts as Israeli settlements and considers them also illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.  more from Wikipedia

  2. Free Israel from Arab/Muslim terror and Arab occupiers.

    It is the Arab Conflict, not Israel. The Arabs want what Israel has; which they built with blood sweat and tears; well they cannot have it.
    Israel is on its own historical territory, that with hard work and toil have turned the desert into green pastures with a first class technology and innovation that is helping all the people and nations in the world. The Arabs have over 12 million sq. km. of which 70% is vacant with a wealth of oil reserves.

    Israel is a sovereign country which also serves as a land based Super-Large Aircraft carrier for the U.S. (with no risk to U.S. personnel) with much more amenities and a sophisticated intelligence apparatus. Israel is one of the worlds leading countries in sophisticated and innovative weapons technology and development of which the U.S. benefits greatly.

    President Donald Trump. Are you willing to help set-up and approve a terrorist Arab State in the United State? Your actions and deeds show you do not! Why would you want Israel to permit an Arab terrorist State in Judea and Samaria? Just see the results of giving the Arabs control of Gaza, which is now a terrorist entity that launches thousands of rockets at Israel and threatens its safety and security.
    No sane leader or government would permit such a move or it will be replaced.


    As long as world countries and leaders contribute money and support to the Arabs who promote hate and commit terror and violence, the terror hate and violence will continue.
    As long as you treat Mahmmoud Abbas as a leader and not as a terrorist criminal (who has a murder conviction and an escapee from justice) who promotes and incites hate, violence and terror, the violence and terror will continue. Stop deluding yourselves that these Arabs are anything but terrorists who seek to destroy Israel and anyone who is not like them.

    Mahmmoud Abbas and his Arab Palestinian authority are a terrorist entity and anyone who condones them is supporting terror and violence. Mahmmoud Abbas is a convicted murderer who is an escaped convict and belongs in Jail. Stop patronizing Abbas and start applying what he deserves, to be put in jail. He gladly admitted for sponsoring the Munich massacre and other terror acts. Abbas is playing the peace game as long as he can milk the nations of the world for billions of dollars and running a dictatorial terrorist entity.
    The Arab PA is no different than Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

    There never was and will never be a second Arab-Palestinian State West of the Jordan River; they have Jordan which is Jewish territory.

    Anyone who thinks about putting another terrorist entity in Judea and Samaria aka West Bank, needs to have his head examined, and any government considering such a proposal must be replaced. Such a move is suicidal to Israel especially in view of the results from Gaza, with thousands of rockets attacking Israel. Judea and Samaria is Jewish territory no concession of this territory is permitted. Israel is a sovereign country and Israel does not need anybody’s consent to apply its sovereignty to Judea and Samaria. Israel must expedite building housing, industry and roads in Judea and Samaria. No country has the right to interfere and or dictate to Israel how to conduct its internal affairs and or its safety and security.
    Let the Arab-Palestinians in Judea and Samaria relocate to Jordan or the homes and territory of over 120,000 sq. km the Arab countries confiscated from the over a million Jewish families they terrorized and expelled from the Arab countries.
    The Arab-Palestinian Authority with its leader Mahmmoud Abbas the convicted murderer is a terrorist organization, just like Hamas and Hezbollah.
