If Israel were a person?

Travel Info
I'm talking about the NATION, then what kind of person would Israel be?

First, male or female (and why)?
Then, personality traits (good and bad, if you can think of both)?
Any other attributes?

You can dress him/her, too if you want! I think this should be fun and interesting...

Travel Tips

Israel would be female. (interestingly, all biblical metaphors for Israel are female). A hardened young woman, strong and ready to defend herself instead of fleeing like so many other young women. Yet at the same time she's compassionate and dreaming some day she can let her guard down. She's wise, insightful and open-minded, yet has difficulty trusting people after her tumultuous childhood. She knows there is someone out there watching out for her and that gives her strength. I think she's wearing functional and practical clothing, yet dreams of the day when she can throw on that beautiful dress she has in her closet and just stroll in the sun.
