Palestinian isolation wall
drifted outside in 1900, and finally recovered
Israel is located in the southeast of the Mediterranean Sea, Lebanon in the north, Syria and Jordan in the east, and Egypt in the southwest. The land area of is 25,000 square kilometers, only a little larger than Beijing.
In the 11th century BC, King David unified the tribes of Jewishness, founded the Kingdom of Israel, and established the capital of Jerusalem. After his son Solomon inherited the throne, he built the "First Temple" on the Temple Mount.
In 586 BC, the Babylonian army captured Jerusalem, the "First Temple" was brutally burned, and tens of thousands of Jews were captured, known in history as "the prison of Babylon." In 538 BC, the Persian Kingdom destroyed the Babylonian Kingdom, and the Jews were released back to their hometown.

In 70 AD, the Roman legion captured Jerusalem and carried out bloody massacres of the Jews. The surviving Jews were also expelled from the Palestine region.
In the seventh century AD, the Arabs occupied Palestine and became the main inhabitant of the region, which became a province of the Ottoman Empire in 1517.
18th century, Jews began to buy land from the Ottoman Empire and the Arabs and settled here. As the number of Jews increased, their relationship with the Arabs became increasingly tense.
In 1917, Britain occupied Palestine and issued the Belfort Declaration stating that "a Jewish nation-state will be established in the Palestinian region."
After the First World War, the Jews set off a wave of return. Since then, Palestinian riots have continued, and the Arabs hope to completely stop Jewish immigration.
During World War II, millions of Jews were brutally killed by German fascists, further promoting the return of the Jews. They hope to have a country that protects their nation. After the end of World War II, there were already 600,000 Jews in the Palestine region.
1947, in view of the escalating violent conflict between Jews and Arabs, the British government decided to throw this "hot potato" to the United Nations. In November, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution: divide the Palestine region into two countries, with the Jews and Arabs owning about 55% and 45% of the territory respectively, and Jerusalem under the management of the United Nations to avoid conflict. Once the partition plan was launched, it was flatly rejected by the League of Arab States. The League of Arab States immediately launched a three-day violent attack on the Jewish civilians in Israel. The Jewish militia launched a counterattack, which triggered the Israeli War of Independence in 1948.
The Little Overlord of the Middle East: "Too for Teeth, Eye for Eye"
The Jews have been a country with the deepest blood and tears of racism since ancient times, and Israel has given these once displaced people a common home. The fourth Israeli Prime Minister, Mrs. Meir, once said:
"Israel exists in the world to protect the Jews from bullying and abuse by the enemy."
When the founding of the country in 1948, all the countries surrounding Israel jointly announced that they would erase Israel from the map and vowed to drive the Jews to the Mediterranean. Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon declared war on Israel at the same time, and after months of fighting, the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement in 1949.
In May 1967, Egypt expelled UN peacekeeping forces in the Gaza Strip, blocked Israel's strategic locations, and deployed a large number of combat vehicles and fighter jets on the Israeli border. On June 5, Israel launched an attack on Egypt on the grounds of Egypt's provocation.
In this Six-Day War, Israel defeated all the armies of Arab neighbors and achieved a complete victory on the air force battlefield, occupied the entire Palestinian region, and became a veritable "little overlord of the Middle East". Many Palestinian Arabs were forced to scatter into surrounding Arab countries and around the world, becoming refugees.
In 1988, Palestinian-Israel signed a peace agreement and proposed the Palestinian autonomy plan. After 1995, the Palestinian Autonomous Region gradually expanded according to the various agreements signed by Palestinian-Israel. But Palestine and Israel have never reached an agreement on issues such as the ownership of Jerusalem, Jewish settlements and the demarcation of the border between Palestine and Israel, and the conflict continues.After thousands of years of wandering and migration, the Jews finally had their own home. They worked hard and made Israel the most economically developed country in the world. has been founded for more than 70 years, and Israel has now become the most powerful, modernized and economic development country in the Middle East. is in sharp contrast with the surrounding Arab countries.
"Just give us a bowl of water and a seed, this nation can survive."
Judging from the hard conditions in all aspects, Israel's living environment is really not good. It is surrounded by hostile Arab countries, and nearly half of its territory is deserts, and freshwater resources and arable land are very scarce.
In this small country with a population of less than 10 million and poor resources, batches of outstanding scientists have been born. Today, Israel leads the world in aerospace technology, communications, chips, engines, computers, etc.
They invented the world's most advanced drip irrigation technology. While surrounding countries are unable to achieve self-sufficiency in food due to harsh natural conditions, Israel exports a large amount of grain to the outside world every year, and tap water also meets the standard of direct drinking water.
In the desert of the Middle East, some countries have become nouveau riche due to their abundant oil and gas resources, and some countries are still suffering from war due to internal reasons. Only Israel's development is step by step. Behind their success is the emphasis on education.
Education, education, education
A survey shows that the Israelites have the most collection and reading of books in the world, and they are also the only nation that regards learning as their belief. They "respecting teachers is like respecting God." They believe that learning without innovation is just a kind of imitation. Learning should be based on thinking, be brave to doubt, dare to question authority, and have an independent consciousness.
They believe: "Most people in this world study hard and work to make more money, while Jews work so hard to achieve better education for their next generation to build their motherland."
Due to their special national conditions and geographical location, Israel has been in a state of preparing for war for the whole nation for a long time. Every Israelite who is over 18 years old, both men and women, must serve in the army for two to three years. After their military service, most people choose to go to college. According to statistics, 45% of Israeli citizens receive university education, ranking the highest in the world.
Israel is the leader in the international academic community today. There are only 8 universities and 27 junior colleges in the country, but 4 are among the world's top universities and 7 are among the 100 top universities in the Asia-Pacific region.
's cutting-edge education level and the people's love for knowledge have given birth to the explosive development of Israel's science and technology. It is called the "back garden" of Silicon Valley and is the "heart" of chip giant Intel; among the 25 highest-selling drugs in the world, 7 are developed at Weizmann Academy; it is even more arrogant in military terms. The "Steel Dome" air defense system independently developed by Israel has a successful interception rate of up to 95%.
Israel, a small country sandwiched between the Mediterranean and the Middle East, should not be solidified into several words. It is neither heaven nor hell, but just a country that carries a heavy history and disputes, but also has a newborn and vigorous vitality.
