Israel-+Kyle&Troy

====Israel- Israel is a small country in the Middle East. It is bordered by Jordan to the East and Syria and Lebanon to the North, then the Mediterranean Sea to the West then Egypt to the South. The population of this small country is only 7.1 million per square mile. The area of Israel is 8,473 per square mile. This makes cities crowded and buildings like houses small. This can also affect the price range of buildings because of such limited land to build on, therefore even a smaller building may cost more than the average building in Massachusetts. (KS) ====

====The GDP per capita is the 2nd largest in the Middle East. This can also help the factor of buildings with higher prices, because people here earn enough and have enough income to maintain homes and businesses. There products add up to $26,600 although the Oil Wealth per Capita is $0. (KS) ====

====Language- Language is the words common to a nation. Israel has a main language of Hebrew, Arabic and English. Some people in Israel can speak English. This is why most highway, street signs etc. in Israel have Hebrew writing, Arabic writing, and even English writing. The languages were passed on from many years ago. It could have been brought to Israel by religious groups. These languages have carried on and are now the official language of Israel due to people who had brought the language possibly from the religions, bibles, etc. (TT) ====

====//A silver Hanukkah menorah, 18th century.//. IRC, 2005. //Discovery Education//. Web. 19 March 2012. Religion- The official religion of Israel is Judaism/Jewish. Israel is a country in the Middle East that does not practice the religion of Islam. This Jewish language is a very widespread language and is practiced in some other countries in the Middle East. This could have been a religion spread worldwide by religious groups that have travelled from country to country. (TT) ====

====<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Ethnicity- Israel includes many ethnic groups. The largest group of all is Arab. These people practice Judaism and Hebrew language. However ethnicity varies. In Iran most people are Persian, in Israel there are many Jewish people, and in Turkey there are many Turks. Iran is most ethnically diverse out of the Middle East. In my opinion this would be cool to see all the different languages and religions throughout Iran. The picture shows Arabic writing (possibly from the Koran ) which was most common in Israel. (TT) ====

====<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Israel in my opinion is a very unique country. This is shown in ethnicity most. It would be cool to travel there and meet many people of different ethnicities. The language and religion would also be cool to see the mosques etc. Israel may be small and may not have the highest GDP or Oil Wealth Per Capita, but it is still a unique place. It also seems like a normal place to live. (TT) ====
