What Arab region was the land Jews had lived for 2000 years ago and came under Great Britain's control after World War 1?
Palestine
Did Palestine become the country of Israel after the World War 2?
Yes and No. The Mandate of Palestine was merely the British Name for the land they occupied in the Southwestern Levantine region of the Middle East. There was no nation of Palestine or independent Governate of Palestine at any point in the prior 2000 years. When the Jewish population of the Mandate of Palestine declared independence, they used the name Israel to denote their country. The Arab residents of the British Mandate preferred to continue using the name Palestine to represent themselves. The majority of the Mandate's land ended up in Israeli hands in 1949, but some parts were under Arab control. It is these Arab areas that will likely form the basis of the Palestinian State.

How and why did the Zionists decide on Palestine?
The word Zionist can conjure up many emotions. Likewise the word Palestine. This question and answer will be built up over time and various links will be added to try and keep the answer as balanced as possible. The use of the name "Palestine" in the English Language only became more common after the Renaissance according to Gudrun Krämer. The name was not used by Muslims in Ottoman times - so for almost 400 years. Most of Christian Europe referred to the area as the Holy Land. It is thought etymologically to be a form of Philistine. Indeed, the Arabic word for Palestine is Philistine. The name Palestine was officially revived by the British after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and applied to the territory that was placed under British Mandate. Zion is a Hebrew word that means Jerusalem. The Zionist movement started in the 1800s with the aim of having a state for the Jewish people dispersed over 2000 years all over the globe in what became known as the diaspora. Jews were especially being persecuted in Eastern Europe. It seemed logical for them to have a state in their ancestral homeland of Israel. Initially, the Zionist movement encouraged immigration to Palestine to increase the Jewish population there. The movement gained momentum in the 1900s and for various reasons which are a completely different question, the British were mandated Palestine by the League of Nations. The name Palestine was officially revived by the British at this time. After WW2 and the major persecution and Genocide of the Jews, Israel unilaterally declared independence in 1948.

Why is Palestine important to Arabs and Jews?
Israel was the Ancient homeland of the Hebrews for already more than 2000 years by the time the Romans invaded. It was not called Palestine until the Romans expelled the people and renamed it in the year 70.The Romans called it Palestine after an ancient Enemy of the Jews: the Philistines.
Why are Palestinians and Jews fight?
2000 years ago, after the death of Jesus, the Romans kicked the Jews out of Israel/Palestine. This period of time is called the Diaspora. In 1948, after WWII, the United Nations said the Jews could return to Palestine/Israel and have their own nation. The problem is in 2000 years, a lot of Palestine people moved into the land formerly occupied by the Jews/Israelis. So, you have a group of people, the Jews, who want to return to the land they taken away from by force 2000 years ago. You also have a group of people, the Palestine, who have lived on the land for the last 2000 years. Considering how much land was taken away from one group or another in the past, it is very difficult to give back all the land on the planet to it's original inhabitants. For example. a great deal of land in the USA was taken away from the Native Americans. It's obvious that the Native Americans are not going to get most of the land that taken away from them by force.

This question isn't literate. But I'll attemt to answer what I can understand. Israel was, in fact, Palestine after the Crusades. However, in the 1800, the Jewish people began to return to their homeland, and after the horrors of the holocaust, the newly-formed UN gave the Jewish people their homeland back, after 1878 years, after the expulsion of the Jews from Judea/ The Kingdom of Israel in 70 BC.
