What was Israel called in 1920?
The modern State of Israel came into existence in 1948. In 1940, the area where Israel predominantly sits (excluding the Golan Heights) was called the British Mandate of Palestine. The Mandate of Palestine was not a country, but a colony of the British Empire. What made a mandate different from a colony was that the British had an obligation to help the people living in the territory to form their own government and facilitate independence. In the specific case of the Mandate of Palestine, they were required to do this for the Jews and the Arabs together.
What was decided about Palestine as a home for the Jews?
The League of Nations approved the British Mandate for Palestine as a national home for the Jewish People as early as 1919.
What is British Israel?
There is no such designation. Some people call the "British Mandate of Palestine" as "British Israel" in shorthand, but this is an incorrect designation. The British Mandate of Palestine occupied all of the territory included in 1949 Israel, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and a small portion of 1949 Syria on the east bank of the Sea of Galilee. It was a British occupied territory from 1922-1948.
How many people have British passports?
a lot
Where is Transjordanian Palestine today and who lives in that part of Palestine?
The British Mandate of Palestine was established in 1919 and was then partitioned into what is commonly known as the British Mandate of Palestine and the British Mandate of Transjordan (because it was on the opposite side of the Jordan River). This division came into existence because the British had promised the Hashemites (an important Arab family) a Kingdom for support in World War I. As a result, Transjordan fell under the control of the Hashemite Kings. When Transjordan became independent as Jordan in 1946, the Hashemites retained control of the country and still rule it to this day. The people of Jordan today are mixed. 40% of them consider themselves endemic Jordanians, which is to say that their ancestors lived in Transjordan before the independence because their ancestors lived in what remained in the British Mandate of Palestine until the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 (when presumably they fled to Jordan). It is important to note, however, that most Jordanians (endemic or Palestinian) consider themselves to be part of the same people: The Arabs of Bilaad Sham. (Bilaad Sham covers what is today Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and is traditionally translated as "Greater Syria".)
Can Palestinians have British passports or get British nationality?
It depends on the particular situation. There are ways to get asylum in the UK, but it is incredibly difficult. There are also people who were born in Palestine and were naturalized UK citizens through the legal processes that all immigrants go through. There are also ethnic Palestinians who are British Nationals by birth.
What is the vernacular region for israel?
The most politically neutral term for where Israel is located is the "Southern Levant". People also call the region "Palestine" in reference to the former British Mandate located there. However, Palestine currently also refers to the fledgling Arab State in West Bank, which causes confusion when the name is used.
Why are their hostilities with Israel in the Middle East?
This is a very complex question. But basically Israel was established in 1948, prior to this it was Palestine. The British Mandate in Palestine along with the Balfour Declaration gave the "right" for the Jewish people of a "homeland" in Palestine. Also during the late 19th century the Zionist Movement had played it's part in this. This is the root to the hostilities towards Israel as this country has been established at the expense of another people and their homeland.
Who let the Isrealites return to Judah?
The Caliph (leader of the world's Muslims) first allowed Jewish people to return to Jerusalem after the Arabs captured the city from the Eastern Roman Empire in 638AD. Jewish people continued to live in and around Jerusalem ("the Holy Lands") generally at peace with their Muslim neighbours from this date up until the establishment of a British Mandate in Palestine at the end of World War 1 (1918). When the British ruled Palestine they decided it would be a good idea to create a Jewish state in Palestine. Under British rule the number of Jewish people who chose to move to Palestine increased a lot until in 1948 a Jewish state of Israel was proclaimed.

When did Palestine become Israel?
Answer 1Palestine is still Palestine. People just think it is israel. But it is NOT!!Answer 2Israel was a historical term for the land before the Romans created the term Palestine.

Who governed Palestine before the State of Israel was declared?
Britain. Answer2. The territory of Palestine, i.e. the geographical area that included modern Jordan( it comprises over 70% of Palestine), Gaza, Israel ( including Judea and Samaria), Southern part of Syria and Soutehrn part of Lebanon, was by the decision of the League of Nations passed under the mandate of Great Britain with the condition that Great Britain would make it "The Home for Jewish People". Great Britain, in pursue of its political goals, breached this condition and passed over 70% of the territory of Palestine to Arab clan of Hashemites, proclaiming Abdallah, the son of the small Arabian war-lord Hussein ibn Ali al-Hashimi , the Emir of Transjordan and then he proclaimed himself the King. That was the beginning of the conflict known as the Arab-Israeli conflict that lasts already more than 70 years. As a matter of fact, Great Britain did not rule in Palestine; it was a Mandate Power whose role was to create the necessary conditions for making the territory under its Mandate ready for becoming independent nations.
