Israel’s landscapes are as varied as her people, with ocean and seas, plains and mountains. It is green, and there is water! It is a good land, where Jews, Moslems, and Christians raise their families. A feeling of peace and youthful growth exists even though its history is almost as old as civilization – a country more than 50 years old, going on to five thousand years old and conquered close to 30 times.

The conquerors have included (alphabetically), Arabs, Assyrians, Babylonians, Canaanites, Crusaders, Egyptians, French, Greeks, Hyksos, Hittites, Israelites, Jebusites, Mamelukes, Meads, Persians, Philistines, Romans, Syrians, and Turks. The people that continue to live in this land are the remaining Jews and the Arabs.
