10 things you probably do not know Israel

Abraham was a Jew - was much later that the Jews are known as Jews.

The word "Jew" (in Hebrew, "Yehudi") comes from Judah, one of the designated twelve sons of Jacob, the ancestor of one of the tribes of Israel after him.

But the word Jew has been used to describe someone of the Kingdom of Judah after Israel was divided into the kingdom of Judahand the kingdom of Israel. In the 6th century BC, the kingdom of Israel by Assyria and the ten tribes exiled from the land taken, to bring only the tribe of Judah, the remaining assets of Abraham, and these were generally known to themselves and others nations as Jews.

Judah means praise, and in Romans 2: 28 Paul writes: "It is outwardly a Jew who is not circumcised, that on meat, but a Jew who is inside andCircumcision is the heart, mind, not the letter, the praise is not of men but of God "In this sense, Jesus and the disciples of Abraham, the father of our faith, be regarded as real. . We believe in Jewish God and try to please, and belong to a heavenly city, where there is peace and unity (Hebrews 11: 80-10).

The Arabs in Israel for the first time in 632 AD with the invasion of Muslims. Only in recent years have sought a national identity and regain the land of Israel from them.

Where does the name "Palestine":

More than 3,000 years the descendants of Isaac and Jacob, Israel occupied the land promised by God, his father Abraham. The area was called Judea Provinceduring the Roman occupation. According to the Jewish people in exile after the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 AD, Emperor Hadrian's name Province of Syria, Palestine is to minimize the Greek name for the Philistines, who identify with Jewish land of Israel, and connect with their former enemies of the invasion and settled in the coastal region in the 12th century BC.

History shows that Jews have been persecuted through the centuries have been mostly of the people called Christians. These actions are criminal, the Crusades, pogroms and massacres, as well as social rejection and isolation in countries called Christians.

The Crusades were not only responsible for the massacre of Muslims but also Jews from Israel, and anti-Semitism was widespread in Europe during the Middle Ages in Europe, many Catholics were the Jewsis responsible for the murder of Jesus, and completely ignored "the prayer of Jesus could forgive his father for what they did. First, the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), the Roman Catholic Church under the Pope Paul VI rejected the declaration of the traditional belief of collective Jewish guilt for the crucifixion, then made public today.

In 2004, the Consultative Group for the Evangelical Lutheran Church Lutheran JewsAmerica made a statement that "... the New Testament should not be used as justification for hostility to modern Jews" and "not guilty of Jesus' death, attributed to Judaism or to the people Jew. "

In 2007, a group of twelve priests from five different national Christian Orthodox churches, some in open challenge to his leadership the church has adopted a ten-page call for the removal of passages from the proposed collective Jewish guilt. groupLiturgy and so-called anti-Semites.
