Israel has historically been riddled with various conflicts and issues. In recent years, many of the problems facing the Jewish-state relate to Israeli and Palestinian relations. The Jewish people settled in and established what is biblically known as the kingdoms of Judea and Samaria.

I decided to talk about the Holocaust, and more specifically the Aftermath of it – the creation of the State of Israel. There is no more difficult story to tell in the history of mankind. Although this topic has been discussed over and over again, We must talk of the concentration camps and the extermination to prevent its recurrence. Duty of remembrance is essential for all citizens and future citizens. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Moreover, talk freely about…

Israel has been at an almost constant state of tension with its neighbors since it gained its independence in May 1948. The Jewish people, who have been persecuted and murdered for their faith and culture since biblical times, have always inhabited the Middle Eastern country of Israel.
