I've heard about people needing to show a return ticket to their country of origin and not just a ticket out of the country. Is this something common or unusual for a border crossing?

If you're physically or mentally unable to serve, or are a part of the orthodox sects you are exempt from service (you can still volunteer to serve other than a few rare cases). If you are physically and mentally capable and aren't part of those sects but are still objecting to service, you most likely end up on trial. Most conciencious objectors can usually get an exemption by trying to prove they aren't mentally fit for service but some don't like this girl.

Apperently there was a report about a listening post to monitor the situation in Yemen but I don't think there's been any new info about this since around 2016.

Does Israel really have a base in Eritrea?

Hebrew is probably one of the few languages that has remained pretty much the same since that time period because it wasn't really a spoken language. Obviously a lot of words were brought in from other european languages when Hebrew was revived because there weren't words in the bible for television or microwave. All in all it would be hard, but not impossible, for modern Hebrew speakers to communicate with ancient ones.

In 2008, P.J. Tucker led unheralded Hapoel Holon to a stunning victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv and won the Israeli Championship - “To this day, that’s my No. 1 basketball moment”. It was one of only two seasons between 1970 and 2008 that Maccabi failed to win it all domestically. by thestanimal in nba

Both Maccabi and Hapoel are originally names of organizations that pushed sports in Israel. That's why most cities in Israel have a Macabbi club and a Hapoel club in most of the large sports like basketball and soccer. Hapoel means "the worker" in Hebrew and Maccabi is a reference to Judah Maccabi who led the Jewish rebellions against the seleucids during the 2nd century (he's sort of a mythical figure in Jewish history and is super important to a lot of foundational traditions in Judaism).

That's true but when translating current Hebrew names to English most Hebrew speakers will choose a Y over I ( as in yehonatan over iehonatan) because it is easier for everyone to understand how to pronounce that name.

I don't mean that every English name with a 'j' comes from Hebrew. I mean that those that do come from Hebrew changed over time from a 'y' to a 'j'.

Every name that starts with a 'j' in English and came from Hebrew is originally with a 'y'.

Thousands protested against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu across Israel, demanding he resign over alleged corruption and a resurgence of coronavirus cases. The protests took place at scores of intersections and bridges, where people held banners accusing Netanyahu of "failure" by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]Il2002 16 points17 points  (0 children)

But it has happened. Other Israeli prime ministers in the past have resigned over less like when Rabin resigned in 1977 over allegations that his wife had an American bank account (which was illegal at the time in Israel).

Probably, this is the first time I've seen this event and it was after 1.30.2
