first.. i can't call it israel... it is Palestine\nbut your question should be answered as it is...\n\nand here it is\n\nIsrael is bordered by Lebanon in the north, Syria and Jordan in the east, and Egypt in the south-west. It has coastlines on the Mediterranean in the west and the Gulf of Eilat (also known as the Gulf of Aqaba) in the south.\n\nDuring the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel captured the West Bank from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Golan Heights from Syria, Gaza Strip (which was under Egyptian occupation), and Sinai from Egypt. It withdrew all troops and settlers from Sinai by 1982 and from the Gaza Strip by September 12, 2005. The future status of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the Golan Heights remains to be determined.\n\nThe sovereign territory of Israel, excluding all territories captured by Israel in 1967, is 20,770 km² (8,019 mi²) in area (1% is water). The total area under Israeli law, including East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, is 22,145 km² or 8,550 mi²; with a little less than one per cent being water. The total area under Israeli control, including the military-controlled and Palestinian-governed territory of the West Bank, is 28,023 km² (10,820 mi²) (~1% water).\n\nThe climate of the coastal areas can be very different from that of the mountainous areas, particularly during the winter months. The high mountains in the north, like Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights, can get cold, wet and often snowy and even Jerusalem experiences snow spells every couple of years. The coastal regions, where Tel Aviv and Haifa are located, have a typical Mediterranean climate with cool, rainy winters and hot, dry summers.\n\n Beach of Tel Aviv at sundown.\nMetropolitan areas\nSee also: Districts of Israel and List of cities in Israel \nAs of 2006, The Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics defines three metropolitan areas: Tel Aviv (population 3 million), Haifa (population 980,600) and Jerusalem (the capital; population 706,368).

Taking the present population of the earth as 6.5 billion, at 2 sq ft per person, we would require 13 billion sq ft.\n\nThis works out roughly to 1207 sq km.\n\nThe Isle of Wight being only 381 sq. km., it would be a tad too small.\n\nGoogling for 1207 sq. km. gets me the city of Los Angeles, or the island of Lifou, in New Caledonia!

Well Britain is 80,800 square miles and USA is  3,618,770 square miles, so that would make it nearly 45 times the size!

israel was founded in 1948 along with several other countries in the area including jordan, syria, iraq, lebanon from the area owned by the brittish, which before was the ottoman empire. The land is jewish land, and has been jewish land long before arab/muslim occupiers came to it/ who displaced the roman empire. Israel is for all jews and millons of jews in israel have arab history, 900,000 jews were kicked out of arab countries in 48 and there-after. Your question imples arab/muslim ownership of the land, which is simply not true.

It's not really a geographic entity, you understand?  -  more a series of refugee camps and semi-desert strips and patches divided by Israeli-occupied areas.  \n\nYour question is very pertinent.  Maybe the Israeli govt information office can add more details.

Israel had the best form 3500yrs ago, it was a Theocracy. God said it, that's the end of discussion. Man being a fallen creature rebelled at that & has been in a worse state since then. Jesus will fix it when He returns.

At least get your facts straight when you spout your racist nonsense, otherwise you just sound like an idiot.  Jews are 2.2% of the population according to the 2000 census.\n\nhttp://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/tables/06s0071.xls

Assume a world population of 6.1 billion.  "Kinda packed in" could mean about a 0.5mx0.5m square; or 0.25 square metres.  That means we need a total of 6.1billion x 0.25  = 1.525 billion square metres.  The square root of 1.525 billion is 39,051m or 39.051km which is 24.27 miles.  So a square area less than 25 miles on each side will do it.\n\nIf you prefer a circular area, it would be about 27.5 miles in diameter.
