Answer 1
I am not sure what you mean. Israel was created as a sovereign nation in 1948. Prior to that, Jews were scattered throughout the world, including in what was then called Palestine. History shows that Jews had in fact lived in the Middle East for many centuries, and while the creation of Israel was controversial to some people in the Arab world, most of the rest of the world (including the US) decided to support the idea. Since the country of Israel is a sovereign nation, just like other countries, the US cannot "take it away" from anyone.
Answer 2
It was the Romans who kicked the Jews out of the Land of Israel nearly 2000 years ago, not the United States. The United States has consistently defended Israel's Right to Statehood and became a strong ally of Israel after 1967.
What else can I help you with?
Did the Jews ever have a country?
Israel is the ancestral home of the Jews.
Did Haiti contribute to Israel becoming a nation?
Haiti voted in favor of UNGA Resolution 181 (II), which provided the Jews of Palestine the right to declare independence as an independent polity. This is really the only contribution Haiti has ever made to Israel. Israel and Haiti, though, maintain warm relations and Israel has assisted Haiti in recovering from earthquakes, especially the one in 2014.
How many Jews were in Israel in 1940?
A:Reliable figures for any one year are hard to come by, but Arnold Blumberg (The History of Israel) says there were 70,000 Jews in Palestine in 1914, and 600,000 by the end of 1947. For historical reasons, the figure for 1940 would be closer to the 1914 count. Answer 2In addition to those numbers, we know that the amount of Jews in Mandatory Palestine in 1931 was 175,000 according to Sergio della Pergola. If I had to guess what the Jewish population was in Palestine in 1940, I agree with Answer 1 in saying that it would be less than 335,000 (halfway between 70,000 and 600,000). My guess would be around 230,000-250,000.
Why don't you like Iran OR why don't you like US OR why don't you like Israel?
Reasons for not liking the US: You are a religious fanatic and want to take down western civilization and democracy- which is pretty much the core of American philosophy. You are jealous. Reasons for not liking Iran: It's a dictatorship run by a crazy leader, ahmadinejad, who claims he is the holy Imam and wants to complete the production of nuclear weapons. Muslim Women have no rights- they are forced into marriage, forced to wear a hajib and a small percent are allowed to study/travel. Reasons for not liking Israel: 1. You are an anti Semite and dislike Jews, so naturally you will dislike their homeland and anything that will allow them to live and be happy. Disagreement with the establishment of Israel- Small history: 'Palestine' was a British mandate after the first world war in which the Turks were defeated. Palestine always contained significant population of Jews ever to challenge the Arabs living in Palestine. Britain looked favorably towards the world Zionist movement founded in the 1890s. the movement claimed that Palestine was the land promised by god to Abraham for the Jews and before the christians drove them out of Palestine, it was their homeland. Britain supported the idea of creating a Jewish state within Palestine. During the 1930s, Jews started coming to Palestine. the immigration was speeded up after the world war 2 when many Jews were left homeless (thanks to Hitler) and were desperately looking for a place to go. Britain allowed so many Jews into Palestine that by 1945 the populated of Palestine consisted of 50% Arabs and 50% Jews. In 1948 thanks to the UN the Jewish state of Israel was created.
How was holocaust connected to the birth of Israel?

In what country did St. Anne live?

In the twentieth Century what did Muslims call the region known as Israel?
For most of the Twentieth Century (since 1948), the Jewish areas were called Israel and The Muslim areas were called "the Occupied Territories" or the "Palestinian Territories. The original plan was for the Palestinian territories to be called "Palestine" and be set up as in independent country, but the Palestinians rejected this plan. Prior to 1948, the entire area was called Palestine, though it was never under Palestinian rule. In 1948, the Palestinians almost had the chance for self-determination for the first time ever.
What causes war between palestin and israel?
After the Holocaust, the Jewish people of Israel took the land of Palestine because it was the Chosen land by God. They have been fighting ever since.
Will palestine ever be free?
Well, chances are NO. Its because not even the United States cannot stop Israel from making illegal settlements in the west bank. However, it is expected that Muslims will make a majority in Israel (due to their large birth rates) by no later than 2048, so if that happens Arabs will be the majority in Israel and then turning Israel from a Jewish to an Arab state then possibly they would propose a confederation to make Palestine... who knows... The statistics quoted in the above answer do not account for religious Jews who are increasing at much the same rate as the Arabs. It is not likely that Arabs will be the majority in 1949 Israel for a much longer period of time.
Is Israel in Palestine?
Answer 1Palestine was the name given by Greek seafarers to the Levant, around the middle of the first millennium BCE, because of the Philistines they found along the southern maritime region between modern Tel Aviv and Egypt. They simply assumed that the Philistines occupied the entire region, and were unaware that there were Judahites and Israelites living in the mountainous hinterland. At the time, we could say that Israel was in Palestine.Answer 2Throughout most of its history, certainly since Roman times, Palestine has never known independence, but the regional name continued in use, with Britain being granted a mandate to govern Palestine after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire. In 1947, the United Nations divided a portion of the British mandate between Jewish and Arab administration. Upon the departure of the British in 1948, the residents of the Jewish-administered partition declared the sovereignty of the modern state of Israel. Neither the Arab-administered partition nor its residents were ever absorbed by the surrounding Arab nations, and neither those residents nor most of those nations accept the existence of the Jewish state.Answer 3Basically, the answer to this question is that Israel is Palestine. Israel is the portion of Palestine that the Palestinian people decided to give to the Jews after the Second World War when they had nowhere to go. The Jews decided to call this portion of the land Israel and so initially Israel is in Palestine, it is a part of Palestine, not the other way around as most people would have you believe.Answer 4Yes and No. Palestine has two different definitions and Israel has two definitions.Palestine 1: All of the lands of the former British Mandate of Palestine.Palestine 2: All of the lands not under Israeli control in 1950 that serve as the basis for any current two-state proposal for the State of Palestine.Israel 1: All of the lands under Israeli control in 1950.Israel 2: All of the lands under Israeli control, both military and civil as of 2012.Now for the spatial relationships.Israel 1 is entirely within the borders of Palestine 1, but smaller (78%)Israel 1 (78%) + Palestine 2 (22%) = Palestine 1Israel 2 and Palestine 2 overlap in much of the West Bank Territories. Israel 2 and Israel 1 overlap in all of Israel 1's territories. Israel 2 does not control the Gaza Strip territories which are part of Palestine 1 and Palestine 2. Israel 2 also controls some Syrian territory not in either Palestine.Additional Note:While Answer 3 is correct in asserting that the State of Israel is smaller than the British Mandate of Palestine (Israel 1 < Palestine 1), it is incorrect in asserting that the Palestinian People "decided to give the Jews" anything. The Palestinian Arabs were actually quite adamant about not giving the Jews any land or space as soon as it became clear in the late 1920s that the Jews intended and would soon realize their own state apparatus. They attacked the Jewish settlement in Hebron in 1929, scalping and beating many Jewish inhabitants. They organized militias to attack other Jewish settlements, they petitioned the British government to prevent Jewish immigration (resulting in the White Papers of 1939 which banned Jewish immigration during the entire Holocaust when a place of refuge was most necessary), and consistently fought against Jewish Militias who were targeting the British colonizers instead of uniting to overthrow the British before trying to decide a resolution. The Palestinian Arabs did not support a two-state solution prior to 1967 and did not accede to the idea of a two-state solution until the Oslo Accords of 1993. Still to this day, the idea of a two-state solution (as a final solution) is relatively unpopular in Palestinian circles. The reason that Israel exists as a country is because of UN Resolution 181 and the Zionist Jews who used that resolution as the basis upon which to declare a country and defend it from military onslaught.
Why do some people call the land Israel by the name Palestine?
The modern country of Israel was formed in 1948 within the borders of what had been the historic region of Palestine. The term had existed for two thousand years, ever since the Romans named it Syria-Palaestina as punishment for the Jewish Revolts.
Was there ever Israel and Palestine at the same time?
Yes. It exists right now. The Palestinian Authority is the Palestinian State and the Modern State of Israel exists right next to it. Admittedly, they are not at peace, but you have both states.
