Abstract
Israel is a small country of great diversity. The winter in the north is cold and snowy, yet 5 hours drive to the south the weather is sunny and dry. It takes an hour to drive from the Mediterranean Sea to the dry deserts near the border with Jordan (Fig. 1). Even more diverse than the weather are the people living in Israel. According to the Statistical Abstract the population of Israel in 2008 was 7.2 million, 75% of whom are Jewish (of different cultural backgrounds), 20% Arabs (Muslims, Christians, Druse and Bedouins) and “others” who are mainly newcomers without religious classification.
