Title: Beautiful Israel
Post by: Gaon on January 03, 2019, 10:43:32 PM
I saw this from a slideshow. There's a few good pictures in it.



Female Soldiers

Israel is one of two countries in the world that drafts women into the army for mandatory service. These young women draft at the age of 18 years old and serve at least two years in the armed forces. They take up roles in combat and non-combat positions.

Life's A Beach

Who doesn't love the beach? Definitely not the Israelis! In fact they have 137 official beaches, yet they only have 273 km of coastline. No wonder the Zohan spent so much time on the beach!

World Record Flight

Israel's national airline, El Al, holds the world record for transporting the most passengers on a commercial jet with an incredible 1088 passengers! They set this record during "Operation Solomon" while airlifting Ethiopian Jews from Addis Ababa in 1991. Two babies were even born on the 747 during the flight.

Doggy Cemetery

Dogs have been a part of humans' lives for thousands of years, but since when has the idea of dog cemeteries been around? The oldest dog cemetery can be found in Ashkelon, Israel. It is believed that the dog remains unearthed there can be traced back to the 3rd to 5th centuries.

Gay Capital

Unlike other countries' stance towards gays, Israel is very open to and accepting of homosexuality. Every year since 1979, the Pride Parade is held in Tel Aviv and has numbers as high as 200,000. Out Magazine called Israel the gay capital of the Middle East.

Tree Treasure

Israel is one of two countries in the entire world which came into the 21st century with a greater number of trees than it had previously. This achievement can be attributed greatly to a project called KKL which encourages tree planting.

Underweight Models

Israel became the first country to ban underweight models from competing in beauty contests. Beauty models have to have a BMI of more than 18.5 and each model must submit a 3-month health report before a shoot. This project's aim was to fight anorexia.

Jews Against Israel

While there might be some Jewish people who don't agree with all the policies of Israel's government, there's a small sect that takes it to the extreme. The ultra-orthodox Jewish sect of "Neturei Karta" believes that the State of Israel shouldn't exist. They have even met with prominent leaders of Israel's enemies, like former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The group calls for "peaceful dismantlement of the State."

Pakistani Passports

If you were to take a look inside a Pakistani passport, you'd see that it read, "This passport is valid for all countries in the world, except Israel." The reason for this is because Pakistan uses this method to boycott Israel. Pakistan isn't the only country to implement this ban, though.

A Low Point

Did you know that Israel has the lowest point on Earth? That's right. The Dead Sea, which borders Jordan, sits at 1,315 feet below sea level. This sea is so salty that you can actually float on it! There is no life in the water, and it would take a good amount weights to get you fully submerged in the water.

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.

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.

When your sample size is small, relative percentages increase.



The most accurate way to measure proportions is to use the standard deviation method.



"In statistics, the standard deviation (SD, also represented by the lower case Greek letter sigma σ or the Latin letter s) is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values.[1] A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be close to the mean (also called the expected value) of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a wider range of values.

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

Patriot missiles and Israel's iron dome have the same mission, but there are some key differences.



Instead of engaging every inbound missile, the Iron Dome system tracks each one and determines whether it will hit something that needs to be protected as opposed to an unpopulated area of low value. If the system determines that interception is needed, it then calculates the best place to perform this as the falling debris from the in-air destruction can itself be a hazard. Then an interceptor missile is programmed to be at a certain spot at a certain time and is launched from the optimal battery to accomplish this task. No doubt there is a significant amount of embedded electronics to allow the Iron Dome missile to be controlled and maintain the correct path but these systems are likely less powerful and costly than the Patriot versions.

The problem is the manner in which you measure these outcomes is distorted with very small and very large sample sizes.



I have no doubt Israels medical service is one of the best, given the number of Jewish doctors. But as to being THE best...that's a claim very hard to substantiate with a population of 5 million vs 30 million.

Female Soldiers

Israel is one of two countries in the world that drafts women into the army for mandatory service. These young women draft at the age of 18 years old and serve at least two years in the armed forces. They take up roles in combat and non-combat positions.

She looks very white and not Middle Eastern at all. Surprising actually. I don't what all the hype is about concerning Israel, but I enjoy Krav maga.

I love ethic diversity and a country that really welcomes the world to it's doorstep. In any multicultural country, one needs to always respect that countries values. I guess Australia strives for that everyday. It's really hard yards when foreigners don't feel the need to integrate appropriately. Canada has always been heard in high regard in those aspects.
