On Mi Yodeya, questions about the State/Land of 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...

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!).
