Why is There a Conflict?
Have you ever wondered why there is so much tension in the middle east? Find out more about the history of Israel, wars Israel has had to fight for its existence, as well as the continued efforts Israel has made to make peace with its hostile neighbors.
Security
Israel faces many challenges to her identity as a Jewish and democratic state — challenges that run the gamut from regular military threats, to questions of national identity and memory. Find out more about these problems and learn how Israel is confronting them.
Terrorism
Israel has been confronting terror long prior to 9/11. Even before the founding of the Jewish state, Israel’s enemies targeted civilians and used other tactics in order to sow fear – but Israel and her people have refused to yield, even as terror groups have become more brazen. Read about the groups and tactics Israel confronts here.
War and Peace
You may have noticed, Israel is rarely out of the headlines. News coverage is not only subject to bias, but often takes events out of historical context or simply doesn’t have the space to tell the whole story. Find out the real story here.
