Israel : denotes both the Jewish state & the people who are descendants of Jacob. In the Old Testament, the term “Kingdom of Israel” is used to designate two political units: the united kingdom of Israel under kings Saul, David, & Solomon that lasted from c.1020 to 922 BC; & the northern kingdom of Israel including the territories of the ten northern tribes, that was established in 922 BC. The southern kingdom, ruled by David’s dynasty, was thereafter referred to as Judah.

... Here Jesus is, as Paul says of himself elsewhere, "of the people of Israel..., a Hebrew born of Hebrews" (Phil. 3:5).

A Centenary Tribute Revolutionising Ancient History: The Case of Israel and Christianity BECOMING a poet, a political commentator, a literary critic while editing a monthly journal of culture without stirring out of an ashram in South India may not be a matter provoking comment let alone arousing wonder.

In Acts Luke marks off the period of appearances as forty days, seemingly with the purpose of drawing attention to the parallels between Christian origins and the origins of Israel with whom God made a covenant during their stay of forty years in the desert.

... pamphlet, The Jewish Question , in which his attacks on the Jews were as poisonous as those of Hitler. “What was the basis of the Jewish religion? The practical need, egoism … Money is the jealous god of Israel, before whom no other god must remain … The bill of exchange, that is the true god of the Jews … The Law without foundation or reason of the Jews is no more than a religious caricature of morality ...

The Lord shall destroy his name under the sun, and cut him off for his undoing from all the tribes of Israel, with all the curses of the firmament which are written in the book of the law.’” 8 Excommunication was common practice in the Catholic Church also.

... and such as is supposed in India to cure the scorpion-sting if not the snake-bite too. But really it is a hexagram and, under its second name, it is at present the official emblem of the State of Israel — a six-pointed star made of two intersecting triangles with their apexes in opposite directions up and down. With the triangles isosceles in shape, enabling a square to be formed at the centre ...

... a radical rewrite of modern evolutionary theory. Not surprisingly, there are some who see that as heresy. ‘It means the demise of the selfish-gene theory’, says Eva Jablonka at Tel Aviv University, Israel. ‘The whole discourse about heredity and evolution will change.’” 41 “There is more than a little irony in the present state of affairs,” writes Evelyn Fox Keller, “for never in the history of ...
... but not fused into a single unity. Modern Europe owes two-thirds of its civilisation to three such supreme moments of human history, the religious life of the congeries of tribes which called itself Israel and, subsequently, of the little nation of the Jews, the many-sided life of the small Greek city states, the similar, though more restricted artistic and intellectual life of mediaeval Italy. Nor was ...

I shall tell you one story about him. He was very rich. He had a magnificent throne ...

... but Jewish. In Germany, they still aren't kind at all; Hitler's influence has been disastrous, the Jews are still treated with contempt—it's disgusting, utterly disgusting. So these ladies went to Israel. They are very generous. But some people still have prejudices, you know! In France, with Pétain, there was that grotesque affair of the "yellow star"; I think it has also left a very bad imprint ...
