Explain the historical and religious claim that the Jewish people have to the land that is modern day Israel. Explain the histor
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The history of the Jews and Judaism in the Land of Israel is about the history and religion of the Jewish people who originated in the Land of Israel, and have maintained physical, cultural, and religious ties to it ever since. First emerging in the later part of the 2nd millennium BCE as an outgrowth of southern Canaanites,[1][2][3][4] the Hebrew Bible claims that a United Israelite monarchy existed starting in the 10th century BCE. The first appearance of the name "Israel" in the non-Biblical historic record is the Egyptian Merneptah Stele, circa 1200 BCE. During the biblical period, two kingdoms occupied the highland zone, the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) in the north, and the Kingdom of Judah in the south. The Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire (circa 722 BCE), and the Kingdom of Judah by the Neo-Babylonian Empire (586 BCE). Initially exiled to Babylon, upon the defeat of the Neo-Babylonian Empire by the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great (538 BCE), many of the Jewish elite returned to Jerusalem, building the Second Temple.

In 332 BCE the Macedonian Greeks under Alexander the Great conquered the Achaemenid Empire, which included Yehud (Judea), starting a long religious struggle that split the Jewish population into traditional and Hellenized components.

In 165 BCE, after the religion-driven Maccabean Revolt, the independent Hasmonean Kingdom was established. In 64 BCE the Romans conquered Judea, turning it into a Roman province. Although coming under the sway of various empires and home to a variety of ethnicities, the area of ancient Israel was predominantly Jewish until the Jewish–Roman wars of 66–136 CE, during which the Romans expelled most of the Jews from the area and replaced it with the Roman province of Syria Palaestina, beginning the Jewish diaspora. After this time, Jews became a minority in most regions, except Galilee, and the area became increasingly Christian after the 3rd century, although the percentages of Christians and Jews are unknown, the former perhaps coming to predominate in urban areas, the latter remaining in rural areas.[5] Jewish settlements declined from over 160 to 50 by the time of the Muslim conquest. Michael Avi-Yonah says that Jews constituted 10–15% of Palestine's population by the time of the Sasanian conquest of Jerusalem in 614,[6] while Moshe Gil says that Jews constituted the majority of the population until the 7th century Muslim conquest (638 CE).[7]

In 1099 the Crusaders conquered Jerusalem and nearby coastal areas, losing and recapturing it for almost 200 years until their final ouster from Acre in 1291. In 1517 the Ottoman Empire conquered it, ruling it until the British conquered it in 1917, and ruled it under the British Mandate for Palestine until 1948, when the Jewish State of Israel was proclaimed in part of the ancient land of Israel, which was made possible by the Zionist movement and its promotion of mass Jewish immigration.

In an essay, explain the ways in which the United States pursued gradual engagement, and give at least two examples of the isola
Anni [7]
I have encountered this question before. This was my answer.

The United States pursued gradual engagement to the Allied nations of Europe by passing the Lend-Lease Bill.

Under this bill, the United States will provide Great Britain the necessary supplies and armaments that it needs to fight against Germany. Knowing that Great Britain's liquidity is questionable, the United States will not demand immediate payment and when the time comes that payment is demanded,they will accept other modes of payment beside cash.

<span>In this scenario, the United States did not violate the Neutrality Act of 1939. They also ensured that the war fought in Europe will not reach their shores by ensuring that Great Britain has the capacity to fight and win the war against Germany. Thus, their assistance through lend-lease bill.  </span>
