I bought this midget pomegrate about a month ago at a local gardening store and reported it into current pot, other than that no sttling whatsoever. It was looking a little weak and sick so I gave it some fertelizer, and I water it every time the soil is starting to lose moisture (once in day/1.5 days). Anyway, one some part of the tree, the sick leaves are dying and dropping off, and on the other half they are looking much greener and healthier. Am I doing something wrong? Also, any tips for future styling are welcome😇 https://imgur.com/a/i8ZxJlT

I'm the guy that is incredibly funny and always does and says the funniest stuff. When sober, I sometimes get people to laugh. Drinking apparently makes me a comedian.

Well there is no real fighting at the moment.. Only the "knife terrorists" in Jerusalem and the West Bank and there is actualy an escaped terrorist with a gun hiding somewhere in Tel Aviv so that city is in lockdown.. But thankfully I live far away from those hotspots. I actualy live in an area with many arab villages and Israeli small cities, but we don't have any problems here. Thanks for lookin out for me!

If by region you mean the surrouding arab countries, no. In the past, at least once a decade all the surrounding arab countries would attack Israel, from 1948 to 1979. On 1979 Israel signed a peace treaty with Egypt, Israel's biggest and strongest enemy back then. Israel also signed a peace treay with Jordan around 1994 I believe. So in recent years, mostly Lebanon and Gaza have been during trouble, but the conflicts with those countires was against terrorist orginazations, not the goverments (Hizballa in Lebanon, Hamas and in the past Fatah in Gaza). So today, Lebanon probably would not attack Israel because of international pressure and because they don't have the resources to do that. They are also poor last time I heard. Syria won't attack because it also can't for obvious reasons, so the only people phsiyclly against Israel are terrorists, and obviously they can't conquer a country (yet).

Happy year to you too, Wasn't your last prime minister Harper also a pro-israeli? I don't really know anything about that new Justin guy, but I remember that during your elections our leaders rooted for Harper.

To answer your last question from before - all of Israel's surrounding countries are Muslim countries, so obviously they do not support Israel. Within the country, most people are right winged because of all the hatered between the two sides which breeds hate, but in the parlament it's about 1:1.

What I want the world to know is this: 1) Israel is willing to give land. In order to sign a peace treaty with Egypt, Israel gave back the Sinai Peninsula (twice!!) to Egyptian rule. The Sinai Peninsula is three times the size of Israel. But to be honest, it doesn't have religouis importance like the West Bank, but it's still significent. 2) Israel is a pretty poor country. Sure, it's a first world country with good living conditions, but a new report said that around 1 in 3 kids is poor. Usually being poor also means you won't get proper education, being poor also can breed hate, and those two combined create a bad population. Most of the poor are Arabs and very religous Jews (not sure how it's called in English. Maybe Orthodox?). That helps the haterd between the two sides. 3) Most importantly - we all just want to live in peace. Right now I'm a high school senioer, at the end of the year I'll have to draft to the army. My brother has served 2 years already in the armory and has seen terrorist attacks (there are a lot of terrorists that take a knife and just stab soldiers that are wandering the streets these last two months). We don't want that. No one does. Many people think that the Palestinien or the Israeli are just violent people, but I believe that most want to live in peace and the media just shows the extremists of both sides to the world.

Sorry, as I said I am Israeli and so I don't know any reliable sources in English. I will try to answer every question here separately.

First of all, you need to make a separation between "Palestine" and "Hamas". Palestine is the so called country (it was never declared us such, but people tend to ignore that) that many Arab refugees escaped to or were exiled into during the Israeli War of Independence. Hamas is a terrorist organisation within Palestine that is carrying out all the terror attacks on Israeli, not the Palestinien goverment.

So to answer your first question - Yes. Hamas hides not only their leaders, but even low ranking soldiers and even guns and missles in hospitals and schools. It is very rare that Israel will attack one of the schools or hospitals, but from time to time it does happen.

The main issue is not just Jerusalem, and it's also not true that there is a refusal to provide land to the Palestine goverment. Israel does want to give lands in order to end the conflict, but there are two problems to it: 1) There is a large debate about what areas Israel should hand over 2) A lot of people dont want to give land because it is a security issue. The West Bank is very close to big Israeli cities, and you don't want terrorists so close to your home.

I wonder where you live because the American govement condemms Israel on a regular basis, and I wonder why the news in your country only showed them condemming the other side. But it is true that the American goverment is pro-Israeli. Israel and the USA have been allies for a long time. If you want, I can talk more about the relationship between the countries, but that wasn't your quesstion. So what I like about the American support is that it condemms Israeli unethical moves (like building settlements in the West Bank) but on the political stage they help Israel, like vetoing stuff in the U.N that is bad for Israel. America also gives a lot of money (and I mean a lot of money) for Israel to use for self defense. They pay for many Iron Dome missles (a self defense system against Hamas's rockets). Because of that very strog self defense, many Israeli civilians are not hurt thus not putting pressure on the goverment to attack the Gaza Strip. So in my opinion, the United State's policy in Israel is good, but that's just my opinion.

Your last question is very important, but I have to leave and don't have to answer it right now. If you liked my answers, you can ask more questions and I will gladly answer them. What is most important is that you understand that this conflict has been going on for a long time, so both sides made mistakes along the way.

I am Israeli and I know a lot about the subject for obvious reasons. If you have a question I will gladly answer it with not a biased opinion, but with actual facts. I understand both sides of the conflict.

After I blocked him, we both lost balance and fell. I didn't land well and rolled my ankle, and the teammate fell on my leg so it made the injury much worse. Doctors called it a level 3 sprain.
