Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia located on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan in the east, and Egypt on the southwest, and contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area. The West Bank and Gaza Strip are also adjacent. With a population of about 7.28 million, the majority of whom are Jews, Israel is the world’s only Jewish state. It is also home to Arabs, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Samaritans, as well as other religious and ethnic minority groups.

The modern state of Israel has its roots in the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael), a concept central to Judaism for over 3000 years. After World War I, the League of Nations approved the British Mandate of Palestine with the intent of creating a “national home for the Jewish people.” In 1947, the United Nations approved the partition of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. On May 14, 1948 the state of Israel declared independence in accordance with the UN decision and this was followed by a war with the surrounding Arab states, which refused to accept the plan. The Israelis were subsequently victorious in a series of wars confirming their independence and expanding the borders of the Jewish state beyond those in the UN Partition Plan. Since then, Israel has been in conflict with many of the neighboring Arab countries, resulting in several major wars and decades of violence that continue to this day. Since its foundation, Israel’s boundaries and even the State’s very right to exist have been subject to dispute, especially among its Arab neighbors. However, Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, and efforts are being made to reach a permanent accord with the Palestinians.

Israel is a representative democracy with a parliamentary system and universal suffrage. The Prime Minister serves as head of government and the Knesset serves as Israel’s legislative body. In terms of nominal gross domestic product, the nation’s economy is estimated as being the 44th-largest in the world.Israel ranks high among Middle Eastern countries on the bases of human development, freedom of the press, and economic competitiveness.Jerusalem is the country’s capital, seat of government, and largest city, while Israel’s main financial center is Tel Aviv.

Gay Israel commercial

Author: admin
01 8th, 2009

A group of male friends is playing soccer on the beach when suddenly some of them stop running. Two girls on the beach have caught their attention and they lose interest in the game.

Afterwards the same thing happens again - the team stops to watch a girl shower on the beach.
These occurances bother one player in particular, who yells at his friends in annoyance each time they lose their concentration.

In the last segment of the commercial, the ball is kicked directly to the previously annoyed player, stationed as the goalie, who is now looking away. The camera moves and we see his attention is focused on a man coming out of the water. Meanwhile, the ball passes through his legs and into the goal, causing the rest of his friends to return his frustrated yells.

The image blurs and “Israel. No wonder we didn’t make it to the world cup … www.goisrael.com” appears in writing.
After generations of invisibility, in these commercials guys actually get their guys and gals get their gals. Kisses and affectionate displays are enjoyed by same-sex couples in the imagery, transgendered persons are a non-issue, Gay Pride is celebrated and some commercials even seem to sell the idea of being “gay” more than the product. These ads exceed Commercial Closet’s Best Practices.
