Beautiful Israel

To Space And Beyond

There are only eleven countries in the world that can launch their own satellite into space, and of course, Israel is one of them. The other countries are: Russia, USA, France, Japan, China, UK, India, Iran, North Korea, and Ukraine.

Curing Bad Breath

What's worse than terrible-smelling bad breath? Nuclear war, but that's not relevant right now. Israeli scientists have put together a cure for this "ailment", but how can we get it here?

Not enough Israelis are using it.

Female Lawyers

Around 44% of lawyers in Israel are women. It wouldn't be right to say that 44% of women in Israel are lawyers, although they might think they are.

Libraries On The Go

At train stations and some bus stations across the country, there are bookshelves with second-hand books for travelers to borrow. One can pick up a book and drop it off at a different location once they finish reading it.

he Iron Dome

You've heard of an iron fist, well this is nothing like it. Israel is the only country in the world to have invented an anti-ballistic missile system that intercepts and destroys rockets headed for its civilian population.

Immigration Numbers

Despite recent upheaval regarding its immigration policies, Israel is the largest immigrant-absorbing country on the planet.

This needs to change.

Lending A Hand

A massive one third of the Israeli population is made up of volunteers. We should all get behind the idea of helping others out without expecting anything in return.

They encourage volunteerism from a young age.

Surviving Cancer Patients

Israel is definitely proud to boast that it has the highest number of surviving cancer patients in the world. It's not just technology that this country is leading the world with.

Unfortunately, Israel's very small population renders your statistics somewhat invalid.



Explore the meaning of "standard deviation" rather than averages (such as per capita).



What you fail to mention is that Israel is a religious based State...which rather takes the shine off things. It may call itself secular, but it is in every respect Jewish at heart.



Nonetheless, credit where it's due; it has achieved a lot in such a small space of time.

he Iron Dome

You've heard of an iron fist, well this is nothing like it. Israel is the only country in the world to have invented an anti-ballistic missile system that intercepts and destroys rockets headed for its civilian population.

Yet it was Patriot missiles that destroyed Saddam's Scuds...



And much of the Iron Dome technology has been based on that system.



(America loves using Israel as a test bed for some of it's defence initiatives).

The @ Sign Is Not 'At'

When giving your email address to an Israeli, don't tell them 'at' gmail, because they say something else. Instead they've chosen a lovely pastry name to go with it – strudel! So you might hear an email address like "israelidude(strudel)gmail.com.

Happy Country

According the 2018 World Happiness Index, Israel ranked as the 11th happiest country in the world. It placed before other countries like Germany, USA, UK, France and Belgium.

Krav Maga

Israel is also the home of the famous and deadly "krav maga" self-defense martial arts. It is currently employed as a standard part of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) training. The martial arts system was created in the 1930's by Jews suffering from antisemitism in Europe.

We practiced this a lot in the army.

No Sundays

While we enjoy our weekends and suffer on Monday mornings, in Israel Sunday is just a regular working day. Fine, they do get Fridays off or as half-days, but Sundays are Mondays to them. That sucks!

I didn't see any street food in those pictures. Israel has great street grub and outdoor restaurants.
