Does anyone know about Lebanon or Israel?

Question

it's for a history project.

Answer 1

The zionist entity, known to its friends as the State of Israel, was created in 1949. It is a Jewish state and thinks of itself as the desirable homeland for all the Jews. It welcomes as immigrants Jews from all over the world. It is a democracy with fully proportional representation. A little over 10% of its citizens are non-Jews, mostly "Israeli Arabs" in the north ("Galilee") and in east Jerusalem. It sits on land formerly belonging to Palestinian Arabs which it took by force in 1948-9 and in 1967. Israel occupies the Palestinian territories known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank which have a measure of self-governance.

Lebanon is a country directly to the north of Israel. It is an ethnically complex Arab country; the main groups are, in order of size, the Sunni Muslims, the Maronite Christians, the Shia Muslims, and the Druze. It is the land of the ancient Phoenicians, famous for their wideranging trading in the first millennium BC -- their ships travelled as far east as India and as far NW as Cornwall in Britain (for tin).

Both countries are in territory that was anciently part of the "Fertile Crescent" and so of such empires as the Assyrian and Persian and Roman. They became Muslim-majority during the great expansion of Islam in the 600s and 700s AD, I think, and both were later part of the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire in for example the 1700s and 1800s and until it collapsed after world war 1. Palestine then became British administered and Lebanon French-administered territory under League of Nations mandate. Lebanon became independent after the 2nd world war.
