Facts about Israel (And truth about the Middle East conflict.) An extremely small amount of people around the world, really knows the facts about the land of Israel and the wars in the Middle East. It is well worth educating yourself on this subject to answer ignorant people in society that have become very Anti Israel. Did you know? - The Israeli government is the only one in the Middle East that is elected by free citizens. - Never in history existed a state named Palestine. - Since 1948, every time the Palestinians were offered any possibility of a Palestinian state, side by side with Israel, they chose to reject it, and more violence followed. - Israel is the only country in the region that permits citizens of all faiths to worship freely and openly. Twenty percent of Israeli citizens are not Jewish. - While Jews are not permitted to live in many Arab countries, Arabs are granted full citizenship and have the right to vote in Israel.
