Answer 1

I saw a documentary on the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) and the measures they take to stay hydrated.

Since the Six Day War, Israel has implemented a system in which its soldiers constantly drink water throughout the day, not just huge amounts, but a moderate amount, several times throughout the day. They would take breaks for water frequently, and it would increase their hydration levels drastically, compared to systems which allow the soldier to fill up with water once in a while.

Answer 2

I'm not sure it is a safe trip in the Palestinian desert unless you're talking about military practice (no comments about this..)

Anyways.. try to bring the right cloths. Desert can be very hot at day but under 0 Celsius at night.

Answer 3

What kind of dessert are we talking here- cake, ice cream, pie?

I'm sure you meant desert (one "s.")

Also, what kind of bass are you exchanging?  Small mouth?  Large mouth?  I didn't know you could fish in the desert.

Just kidding.  Why are you doing this?  Shouldn't someone in charge be helping you out here?

Answer 4

Israeli Dessert??? Mandelbrot?? lol
