Israel is a nation located in the Middle East. It originally started when the Hebrews migrated from Egypt out of slavery. It is the location of Jesus' birth and many other major Biblical events.
Israel was a powerful nation in the Middle East from about 1000 to 900 B.C.
It was conquered by the Romans in 200 B.C. In 1956, it became a nation again and Jews wanted to go back to the Middle East.
Today Israel is the location of intense territorial disputes between Israelis and Palestinians. Although Israel has made repeated concessions to the Muslim Palestinians, the Palestinians continue to employ terrorist tactics, especially suicide bombing, against Israel.
