조선민주주의인민공화국 (Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk) - 우린 함께 나아간다 (Ulin Hamkke Naaganda)

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea, is a country in East Asia that encompasses the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, bordering South Korea to the south along the Demilitarized Zone, and China and Russia to the north along the Amnok and Duman Rivers. The country's capital and largest city is Pyongyang. Other major cities include Nampo, Kaesong, and Rason. Like South Korea, North Korea claims to be the sole legitimate government of Korea.

North Korea is constitutionally a socialist one-party state ruled by the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea. The government system is described as totalitarian by human rights organizations and governments of other countries.

The country's first head of state, Kim Il-sung, used the Korean War and the August Incident to eliminate his political opponents and consolidate his power. After his death, his descendants, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un, continued his tyranny and also adopted his personality cult. It is considered one of the most restrictive internationally recognized states of the present day. In various democracy scales, the country has consistently ranked among the lowest since measurements began. The government has been criticized worldwide for serious human rights violations, and the country is largely isolated internationally.

The Korean Peninsula has been inhabited by humans since the Lower Paleolithic period, and the first settlements date back to the Neolithic period. The first records of statehood appear in the 7th century BC. After the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea by Silla and Balhae, Korea was ruled by the Goryeo Dynasty (918–1392) and the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897). The subsequent Empire of Korea was annexed by Japan in 1910. After the end of the Japanese occupation and Japan's surrender in World War II, Korea was divided into two occupation zones by the Soviet Union and the United States. Attempts at unification failed, and the division hardened along political lines. The Korean War (1950 to 1953) sealed the division of the Korean Peninsula (see Korean Conflict).

מדינת ישראל (Medinat Jisra'el) - מחייכים (Yahad Nelek)

Israel is a state in Western Asia on the east coast of the Mediterranean. Israel is the only state in the world with a majority Jewish population and, according to its nation-state law, sees itself as the “nation-state of the Jewish people.” De facto, Israel is a multi-ethnic state in which a significant proportion of the population (around a quarter) are non-Jews.

Israel is geographically part of the Mashreq and borders Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt as well as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The capital and most populous city of Israel is Jerusalem; however, the United Nations and the majority of its member states do not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The largest metropolitan area is Gush Dan around the metropolis Tel Aviv-Jaffa on the Mediterranean.

The area that is today Israel is considered the cradle of Judaism and the two younger Abrahamic religions (Christianity and Islam). Israelite kingdoms existed from approximately 1000 to 587 B.C. BC (Israel until 722, Judah until 587); The area then came under the rule of the Babylonians, Persians and Alexander the Great (from 332 BC) and the Diadochi who followed him. After a phase of renewed independence under the Hasmoneans (from 165 BC), it stood since 63 BC. BC successively under Roman, Byzantine, Sassanid, Arab, Ottoman and British rule. The Jews who have lived there for around 3,000 years (Israelites or Hebrews according to biblical usage) have been expelled or forced to emigrate several times throughout history (Jewish diaspora). From the end of the 19th century onwards, there were efforts among European Jews to establish a Jewish state in what was then Ottoman Palestine (Zionism), not least due to increasing anti-Semitism in Europe (Dreyfus affair, pogroms in Eastern Europe, etc.).
A foundation stone for this was laid at the first Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897 under the leadership of Theodor Herzl. The plan to found a state took more concrete form with the British Balfour Declaration of 1917. From 1920 to 1948, the League of Nations mandate for Palestine existed, which was transferred to Great Britain after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Increased Jewish immigration and the establishment of proto-state structures led to the first conflicts with the Arab population. The UN partition plan for Palestine of 1947 had the aim of pacifying Palestine, but it was rejected by the Arab side because the partition was associated with a significant territorial renunciation to the detriment of the Arabs. During the Palestine War, Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948. The following decades were marked by the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict.

Israel's political system is based on a parliamentary system of government. The head of government is the Prime Minister appointed by the Knesset; The head of state is the president, who predominantly fulfills representative tasks. Israel is a free, democratic, constitutional state with a strong welfare state; the country is often referred to as the “only democracy in the Middle East.” The predominantly centrally administered Israeli state is divided into six districts, which in turn are divided into 71 cities, 141 municipalities and 53 regional associations (groups of smaller towns to form administrative communities).

The densely populated country has around 10 million inhabitants in 2023, of which around 7.2 million are Jews (73%), 2.1 million are Muslim and Christian Arabs (21%) and another 490,000 inhabitants, including some in the country native minorities such as Christian Aramaeans, Samaritans, Armenians, Circassians and Roma. The Law of Return allows all Jews on earth to settle in Israel. Since around 1990, an increasing number of legal Asian and Eastern European labor migrants as well as illegal immigrants from Africa have been living in the country.

The country gained its independence on August 5, 1960.

POUNDING YUH TABERNACLE

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.
