Clarify which Israel[s] we're talking about.

  • On Mi Yodeya, questions about Israel that aren't clearly about Judaism are considered out of scope. Should that be the case here, or should questions about Israel be ipso facto on-topic?
  • Questions to consider, assuming that close reasons unrelated to scope (too broad, opinion-based, etc.) are not applicable:
  • 1. Ancient or medieval international politics
  • 2. Science of the literal land of Israel (geology, zoology, botany, meteorology, etc.)
  • 3. Archaeological discoveries
  • 4. Practical questions on making Aliyah
  • 5. Practical tourism questions (advice, recommendations, safety concerns, etc.)
  • 6. Modern politics (assuming we can keep it civil!)
  • There _is_ overlap between this question and the [Jews/history](https://judaism.codidact.com/questions/276890) question. For the sake of discussion, assume nothing about whether questions about Jews or their history unrelated to Judaism are on-topic or not, unless that somehow impacts your answer (in which case please explain how and why!).
