1. Laagste punt:<\/strong>\u00a0Met -418 meter is de kustlijn van de Dode Zee het laagste punt van droog land ter wereld. De Dode Zee bevat ook ongeveer 31,5% zout, ongeveer 9 keer zoveel als de Middellandse Zee. Het extreme zoutgehalte betekent dat bijna geen leven in de zee kan overleven. Vandaar de naam 'Dode Zee'.<\/p>\n

2. Kosher:<\/strong>\u00a0De lijm op de postzegels van Isra\u00ebl is koosjer. De hamburgers bij McDonald's in Isra\u00ebl zijn ook koosjer (koosjer is een rituele vorm van slachten die alleen door Joden wordt gebruikt).<\/p>\n

3. Tzedakah:<\/strong>\u00a0Bij sommige bushaltes in Isra\u00ebl staat een doosje om liefdadigheid (tzedakah) in te zamelen. Er moet echter worden opgemerkt dat tzedakah meer een verplichting is, terwijl liefdadigheid in de traditionele zin iets is dat je gul geeft uit spontane vriendelijkheid.<\/p>\n

4. Silicium Wadi:<\/strong>\u00a0Met meer dan 3000 hightechbedrijven en start-ups heeft Isra\u00ebl de op \u00e9\u00e9n na hoogste concentratie hightechbedrijven ter wereld. De hoogste concentratie bevindt zich in het gebied Silicon Wadi, alleen overtroffen door Silicon Valley in Californi\u00eb.<\/p>\n

5. De Negev-woestijn:<\/strong>\u00a0De Negev-woestijn bedekt meer dan de helft van Isra\u00ebl en ligt in het zuidelijke deel van het land. Hoewel er in de woestijn over het algemeen niet veel planten groeien, is er wel vegetatie zoals acacia's en pistachebomen en andere kleinere vegetatie.<\/p>\n

Feit: De Klaagmuur in Oost-Jeruzalem, Isra\u00ebl, is de heiligste plaats in het Jodendom.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Zee en meer:<\/strong>\u00a0Isra\u00ebl heeft toegang tot de Middellandse Zee, de Rode Zee (Golf van Akaba), de Dode Zee en het Meer van Galilea. Ongeveer de helft van Isra\u00ebls drinkwater komt uit het Genesarmeer.<\/p>\n

7. Braille:<\/strong>\u00a0Isra\u00eblische bankbiljetten (shekel) zijn voorzien van braille (brailleschrift), waardoor blinden en slechtzienden gemakkelijker met geld kunnen omgaan.<\/p>\n

8. Militaire dienst:<\/strong>\u00a0Militaire dienst is verplicht voor alle burgers ouder dan 18 jaar in Isra\u00ebl. Arabieren zijn echter vrijgesteld en kunnen worden vrijgesteld om religieuze, fysieke of psychologische redenen. Yeshiva-studenten (die Tora en Talmoed studeren) hebben het recht om de dienstplicht voor onbepaalde tijd uit te stellen vanwege hun studie en in de praktijk gaan velen van hen nooit het leger in. Daarnaast zijn er ook een aantal gewetensbezwaarden<\/p>\n

9. De vorming van Isra\u00ebl:<\/strong>\u00a0De bestaansreden van Isra\u00ebl is deels te vinden in de Bijbelse beschrijvingen van het land Isra\u00ebl, maar ook in de geschiedenis van de Joden als vervolgd volk. Na de Eerste Wereldoorlog werd het zogenaamde Palestina Mandaat (een gebied dat bestaat uit het huidige Jordani\u00eb en Isra\u00ebl) goedgekeurd door de Volkenbond om een \"nationaal thuis voor het Joodse volk\" te vestigen. In 1947 keurde de VN een verdeling van het Mandaat in 2 staten goed: een Arabische en een Joodse.<\/p>\n

10. Isra\u00ebl in het heden:<\/strong>\u00a0Het toenmalige hoofd van de Zionistische Wereldorganisatie, David Ben-Gurion, verklaarde de staat Isra\u00ebl onafhankelijk op 14 mei 1948. De volgende dag begonnen Arabische landen een onafhankelijkheidsoorlog (de Arabisch-Isra\u00eblische Oorlog van 1948), die door Isra\u00ebl werd gewonnen. De oorlog leidde echter tot een uitbreiding van de grenzen van Isra\u00ebl, die geen deel uitmaakte van het oorspronkelijke VN-verdelingsplan van 1947. Sindsdien wordt de situatie in Isra\u00ebl over het algemeen gekenmerkt door onrust en verschillende oorlogen.<\/p>\n
