Welcome! Shalom! Salaam!
Welcome to my website on the State of Israel. In April of 2001, after studying basic HTML I decided to construct a
informational site on one of the newest and most curious nations in the Global Village, the State of Israel.
The information contained herein is provided with the intention of allowing those who know very little to nothing about Israel and the Middle East. I have had the opportunity traveled extensively around the world since I was very young and quite frankly no country
compares to Israel with regard to history and pure captivating interest. It is a nation in a region
with a long, complex history of conquest, occupation and re-conquest. Those who live outside of
Israel often hear phrases and words like "peace process", "settlers", "The Golan Heights", "terrorism"
and other juicy terms applied to this area of the world, yet they know very little about the roots of these issues. As a result of this lack of information, most people have an impression of a complicated and wild area where daily
life is quite unpredictable. This really is not so.
This website is designed to serve as an introduction to the State of
Israel for those who know very little about it and want to know more. The site is divided into
topical sections which are linked together. The final page is a
comprehensive page of links to sources of information of Israel and the region at large.
These links will reflect a the wide range of opinions on the area both Israeli and Arab.
Here are the selections:
