Israel

I have gathered some websites here for you if you are wanting to learn more about Israel. I don't plan to do a big series on countries on this blog, but Iraq (previous post) and Israel are much in the news these days and are of great concern to Americans (or should be!).

First up is Wikipedia's article on Israel. This will give you a good overview of Israel's history and culture. Also, the Library of Congress has A Country Study: Israel.

The Jerusalem Post is Israel's English language newspaper and a source of information for current events there.

The University of Texas at Austin has a maps page for Israel that you might enjoy perusing.

Last but not least, here is a link to the English language version of the official Israeli government website.

I hope these links will be useful and that you'll enjoy looking them over.
