The creation of the state of Israel and the ensuing policies has permanently changed the culture and way of life for Bedouin of the Negev desert. This climate has resulted in the Bedouin losing part of their culture due to Israeli policies and laws. This political reality has also forced them to adapt to form a new way of life that is completely different; it is a forced hybridization
of ancient Mesopotamia, those living in the Negev desert region so too developed systems of river and flood management, as well as water conservation, for agricultural use. These ancient farmers faced limited cultivation capabilities as a result of a harsh semi-arid climate, but were able to sustain populations by taking advantage of natural watersheds provided by geologic formations such as hills, mountains, and valleys, as well as intervening
through the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. The land around the narrow river valley included hills, grassy slopes, and mountains. To the east lay the hot, dry Syrian Desert. In southwestern Canaan was the Negev (NEHgehv) Desert. Rain soaked this area during the winter months, supplying the Negev with more water than most deserts receive.

Wars - The Results Lead to Further Conflicts During the twentieth century, conclusions of wars created the conditions for subsequent wars. Whether it was the conquered or the conqueror, few ever remain content past an initial truce. Two examples of this can be found in the events that lead up to WWII and the constant conflict in the Middle East.

America is threatening military intervention into Syria because of the recent chemical attacks. Every time there is talk of sending troops to the Middle East I get questions about the possibility of Armageddon being only weeks away. Everyone please calm down. The Bible describes two battles that come BEFORE Armageddon. We are already seeing the coalitions of these two battles forming. I won’t say anything about battle number two which is described in Ezekiel 38-39 and occurs a little less than seven

OBADIAH Judgement is pronounced. Obadiah¡¦s oracle against Edom as sentenced by Yahweh Himself is severe and without hope for future restoration of this people.

There are different historical views on what really provoced the war of 1967, the Israelis would clearly blame the Egyptians and point at Nasser's agressions as the main provocation leading to the war. Another view is that Nasser did not have the intention to fight Israel at that point, but when the UN troops in the Sinai were withdrawn suprisingly after Nasser's demand, Nasser had to make true his big promises to defeat Israel to the other Arab nations.

2.1 Principle A simple way for distillation water is a solar still which uses sun’s heat to derive evaporation from humid soil and atmospheric air to cool a condenser layer. The energy of sun heats water to evaporation point. When the water evaporates, vapours of water increases, condensing on the glass surface for collection. In a double slope solar still, solar radiation passes both sides of the glass cover. This energy coming from the sun is almost absorbed by the black
bringing Jews and Arabs together should be established by the United Nations; that full Jewish immigration be allowed into Palestine; and that two autonomous states be established with a strong central government to control Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and the Negev, the southernmost section of Palestine.

Joshua was the man God called to lead the people of Israel into the land of Canann after Moses died. Out of all of the Israelites that escaped slavery from Egypt, only two original people made it into the Promised Land, Joshua and Caleb
help validate our personal beliefs however, they tend to compromise our ability to make a judgment on ideas based on advantages and disadvantages of these beliefs. This was evidenced by a study conducted by researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The study showed how fast the mind tends to respond to a particular subject matter from an already held standpoint. From the research it was established that subjective viewpoints triggered people to
As early as 1966, with the writings of Jean A. Peristiany, the centrality of the conception of honor as a marker of an individual’s social worth, and of shame as the opposing force in place for the enforcement of honorable behavior, has been recognized by both social scientists and historians (Herr 1969). Initially, the ideological nuances of the relationship between honor and shame at work in particular societies was focused on small communities throughout the MENA region, for they provided examples
