Israel was created for the Jews so they could have a homeland after the Holocaust. Palestine was under mandate by the British who encouraged the creation of the homeland to be carved out of Palestinian land. This area had been occupied by the Jews in ancient times.
The Balfour Declaration of November 1917 promised to establish a Jewish home (not homeland) in Palestine.
The Balfour Declaration was the first promise by the British Empire to give the Jewish people a national home in Palestine. It was the first major success of the Zionist Movement and led to increased pressure by Jews to immigrate to the territory and set the foundations of a new Jewish State-to-be. As the Zionists worked to create a Jewish state, the support of one of the world's largest powers, that was soon to take over Palestine, was crucial. This also changed the future trajectory of Israel/Palestine as a region, allowing the seeds of Israel's creation to be sown.

Answer 1Israel was created where Palestine used to be.Answer 2In 1917, Lord Balfour described the future British Mandate for Palestine as a possible Jewish National Homeland.
Yes off course homeland security increased the security
The development of the concept of the Southwest Levant as the Jewish Homeland was a result of the Conference of San Remo (1920) and the Mandate for Palestine (1922). In the latter document, the British Mandate of Palestine was specifically designed to be the "Jewish National Homeland". When Israel declared independence in 1948, Israeli leaders argued that the creation of the Jewish State was in continuance of this previously determined concept.
Israel is the homeland of the Jews, and Palestine is the homeland of the Palestinians. (However, there are people on both sides who disagree with this statement.)
to other countries. they didn't have a homeland until the creation of Israel. the people living in Palestine were kicked out of that area and is part of why there is conflict between the counties today
