Modern Israel was created out of land once called Israel (Joshua 11:16,21; Judges 19:29; 1 Samuel 11:3, 13:1) and later called Judea (land of Judah; the Jews).The Romans, as part of their anti-Judean persecutions, imposed the name Palestine and made it untenable for most Jews to remain in the land. Were it not for them, the Jewish population and the name of Judea would have been maintained.

The State of Israel was created in the southern Levant and this area has numerous historical names, such as Canaan, Judea, and Palestine. The territory was called the British Mandate for Palestine immediately before Israeli Independence.
