 //ISRAEL //

Israels flag is white with a blue hexagon (six pointed linear star) Centered between two equal horizontal blue bands near the top and bottom edges of the flag. The flag of Israel was adopted on October 28, 1948, five months after the nation's independence. It depicts a blue Star of David on a white background.



The small State of Israel occupies about 75% of an area long known as Canaan. This historic, spot is significant for Christians, Muslims and Jews alike, as Jerusalem is recognized as a holy city by all three religions. Today the West Bank is partially Israeli, but Israel, in September, 2005, withdrew all Israeli settlers and soldiers and dismantled its military facilities in the Gaza Strip. Nonetheless, Israel controls maritime, airspace, and most access to the Gaza Strip.

Israel has a parliamentary democracy. Their capital is Jerusalem. Independence day was on May 14, 1948. They have no formal constituation. May 2003 the Constitution Law, and Justice Committee of the Knesset has been working on a draft constitution. //**The legal system;**// mixture of English common law, British Mandate regulations, and in personal matters,Jewish, Christian, and Muslim legal systems in December 1985.

I would like to viset the oil imports and exports, the civillian land sites, and how the people are different from Americans. The civillian land sites are probably way different than in our country, it would be neat to see how they live their lives. You would probably not really like to see anything, its not that great of a county. They are always in conflict with other counties and their surroundings are not all that spectacular. Some things may be interesting to see and viset, but its not as exciting as going to Paris or New Mexico. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Georgia, serif">//Typical Israel homes.//
