Talk:Israel

Ori, I'd like to say that I support you in your decision to revert to your shorter article. Obviously, it needs expansion. But the Wikipedia article seemed to be typically substandard Wikipedia work, and we on CZ should support those of us who wish to start over. --Larry Sanger 23:32, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

6 Day War

I believe we should have a section detailing Isreal defense and how it's current borders were determined by this action. Would this be an acceptible source?http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/1967toc.html.Richard Leeds 14:18, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Capital

A controversy that I don't feel I know enough about to edit over: are we right to say that Jerusalem is the capital without qualification? We should clarify the status of both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv under Israeli and international law. John Stephenson 04:29, 21 May 2007 (CDT)

Israel has had Jerusalem as it's capital for a long time and it still is, even though the American embasy is in Tel Aviv, and by the way Bush or our next president should be moving it over to Jerusalem soon. Jordan Goldberg 12:51, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

There's no controversy on the point of its being a capital. Some embasies are located in Tel Aviv either out of convenience or the wish to avoid giving official stamp to the inclusion of eastern Jerusalem as part of the city, but Jerusalem was the one and only capital even before this became an issue (after the six days war).

Information

I think that the fight in Israel between the Arabs and the Jews should be included, because that is a big part of how so many people know about Israel. Jordan Goldberg 10:33, 10 June 2007 (CDT)

Israel and State of Israel

Do we really need both? ...said [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User_talk:{{{1}}}|talk]]) (Please sign your talk page posts by simply adding four tildes, ~~~~.)

I think so. We don't need United States and United States Government only because there are no appreciable boundary disputes; we still need articles on Administrations. There is a substantial discussion of the political geography of the historic, 1948, post-1967, and continuing Greater Israel discussion. The State of Israel clearly deals with the modern aspects; there will be additional need for articles on, say, Rubin and Netanyahu governments. Yet another dimension is the assumption that Israel is, or is not "the" Jewish state, or a state with a Jewish identity. Howard C. Berkowitz 18:33, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Projectiles Fired Toward Israel by Year (2002- 2009)

Dunno in which article this chart might fit best but just found it here. --Daniel Mietchen 14:15, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
