Palestine was not a state before Israel, for hundreds of years, it was a province of the Ottoman Empire, and when World War I and the Turkish Revolution ended the Ottoman Empire, it was controlled by Great Britian under a League of Nations mandate. The UN Partition plan of 1948 divided the land between those parts that had Arab majorities (Transjordan, the West Bank and Gaza) an those parts that had a Jewish majority. The partition was an ugly thing because each side of the line had minority enclaves that felt threatened by their neighbors, and during what we now call the Israeli War of Independence or the Nabka, all Jews were forced to flee from the Arab side and many Arabs were forced from Jewish side. Even so, Israel today is about 30% Arab.

Who did the Palestine Liberation Organization want to take back Palestine from?
Answer 1The PLO wanted to take (not back) Israel and impose a non-democratic rule.The Jewish state, as defined by the Paris agreement which concluded with the league of nations and the Mandate to Britain to "establish a Jewish state" would be nullified, and in the PLO's base articles, Jews do not have the right to own property.In actual fact, most of those that call themselves Palestinian are from Syria and Egypt, where their ancestors were brought to the Land of Israel in the 19th Century to populate the land.The founder of the PLO, was born in Egypt.Answer 2Palestine is the area between Lebanon and Egypt. It, before occupation, belonged to the Muslims and Christian Arabs of Palestine. It was then devoured by the British army after the Paris agreement. Jewish settlers have been in Palestine, now known as Israel, and Palestine and its allies have launched minor attacks on Israel. In conclusion, the PLO attempted to regain Palestine from the Zionists.

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.
Israel was created out of land once called?
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.See also:Where_did_Jews_live_in_more_than_anywhere_else
