How is "Israel" a real name, why would someone call their son "Israel"

Lmao
Stage 1: Separate semi-nomadic tribes
- Becoming more settled into farming lifestyle
- Some tribes more settled than others
- Each with a patriarchal structure
- Each tracing lineage back to a particular patriarch: Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Esau, or Jacob
- Each with a similar polytheistic religion
- Each having a pre-eminent god: Yahweh, Shaddai, Baal, El Elyon
- The Shaddai people having also an opponent god named Satan (similar to Loki in Norse mythology)

Stage 2: Contention
- Population pressures
- Levant is very fertile and there is intense competition for it
- Tribes begin to assert that a god gave their patriarch exclusive rights to farm the land
- Foreign powers try to bring tribes under control
- One tribe is captured and taken to Egypt for a generation
- Remaining tribes begin to band together for protection
- They begin to assert that a single king is their king
- Similarly, they assert that a pre-eminent god is their protector god
- Alliances cause identities of Yahweh, Shaddai and El Elyon to begin to merge
- Other gods fade in importance
- Tales arise to describe family relationship between individual tribes' patriarchs, to assert divine rights without competition among allies

Stage 3: Exclusion and Reabsorption
- Some tribes within the identity take over the land of other tribes
- Those other tribes are pushed out of the common identity (Arabs, Edomites)
- Explanation for the usurpation promulgated in denied-birthright narratives for Ishmael and Esau ("they had no right to the land after all")
- Tribe returns from slavery in Egypt with a strong oral tradition and distinct priestly tradition (Levites)
- Tribes included in the identity bind together against excluded and "foreign" tribes

Stage 4: Integration and Solidification
- Kingship of Israel / Judah established
- Rejection of foreign supremacy over kings of Israel/Judah
- Yahweh = Shaddai = El Elyon identity firmly established
- Both priestly and Levite traditions integrated into one worship system
- Existence of other gods begins to be denied
- Competing gods (e.g. Baal) are merged into Satan identity
- Oral tradition of patriarchal line Abraham -> Isaac -> Jacob gains wide currency
- Particular tribe names or legendary local patriarch figures rationalized as "twelve sons of Jacob"

Stage 5: Single Identity
- One king, or two kings (Israel + Judah) with aspirations to merge into one kingdom
- Yahweh is the only god; other gods do not exist / are Satan
- Satan is not even a god, but rather a fallen angel
- Recording of oral traditions
- Scribes (directed by priests) enforce monotheistic orthodoxy in written versions of traditions
- Vestiges of older, diverse, polytheistic traditions persist in written records:
- Different names for God
- The use of the plural term "elohim" ("the gods") with singular verbs
- Two different creation narratives
- Two different priestly traditions
- For diplomatic reasons, kings still pragmatically sometimes allow worship of other gods or worship them themselves
- Priests and mainline religion abhors this and insists on orthodoxy

>israel
>is not real

Most people I know named Israel are Hispanic

Kek.
You:hey Israel, I need to use the bathroom
Israel:wait dude, I'm just trespassing on other countries restricted airspace, firing missiles into my neighbours and indescriminantly killing civilians

Haha, the double entendres are hilarious.

Or the arabs could just, y'know, stop being savage sand barbarians and refrain from attacking Israel.
Yeah, crazy talk, y'know.

Hey, dude, Israel.. You're in my air space.. So what if I was shooting rockets at you, bro? Can't handle some banter?

I get what you're saying, but Israel has continuously encroached on Palestinian land and presecuted the Muslims, routinely breached UN resolutions, and behaved in an immoral and atrocious way.
I know it's a two way street, but isreal is faaaar from innocent in this.

Other way around mate, Isreal was fired at because they were in restricted airspace first.

Israel, you're killing civilians!!!!!!!!
What do you mean they shouldn't be rioting, throwing molotov cocktails, trying to take down the fence at the border and bring children so they can get hurt in a place where we started violence so we can film it to show how so innocent and peaceful we are?

You're forgetting the Iranian drone that flew into Israeli airspace before all of that.

Yeah it's not uncommon. According to the old testament it was the name of Jacob but that could've just been a story that came after.

>act like a savage sand barbarian
>"WTF WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE ACTING LIKE SAVAGE SAND BARBARIANS BACK TO ME???"

>arabs are trying to ethnic cleanse middle east from jews since 1920
>hebron massacre
>more killings in 1938
>in full intent of killing all jews after 1946
>jews being expelled from arab countries everywhere
>"WTF WHY ARE THE JEWS TRYING TO DEFEND THEMSELVES?"

I guy on my same career was named Israel. It's not common, but it isn't super weird either

There's was a dude here called Israel Avram, he scammed people and some banks for like 500000 USD and then fled to Jerusalem

In Japan we call a Jewish single country "イスラエル/Isuraeru" derived from its English name.

Israel does not persecute the Muslims, every Israeli Arab, both Christian and Muslim has every right that an Israeli Jew has. It's the best place an Arab could live in the Middle East, a western democracy. Where else in the ME will a Muslim Arab woman can vote, yet run for the government/presidency? You seem to judge by a very high moral standard, that is good but don't forget who they're up against, Hamas that uses human shields. The IDF is, objectively, the most moral army, no other army goes so far out of it's way to not harm civilians. What other army drops flyers from jets where it is going to airstrike, warning to stay away, then before the strike shoot a small loud bomb as another warning and only then strike? You should blame the terrorists for stashing in hospitals and schools instead of blaming the Israelis for wanting to disable those who wish to harm thier civilians.

absolutely based

Israel is a very common name around here, I know two Israels

>brazilian hebrew israelites

What would an asian named Israel sound like?

You: Hey Israel do you like anal?
Israel: Me no rike arab

based

Jacob later given the name Israel, is regarded as a Patriarch of the Israelites. According to the Book of Genesis, Jacob was the third Hebrew progenitor with whom God made a covenant.

Latinos, mostly religion cucks.
