The question itself is biased and incorrect. The Palestinians never had their own
homeland. Before the formation of Israel, they were under the Ottomans and
then the British.
Regardless of the problems with the question, the name of the region you are
looking for is Palestine.
The irony here is the fact that this website is a "Question and Answer" meeting
place, yet if some innocent and well-meaning contributor were to come along
and answer "Kurdistan," the person with the so-called "question" would jump
up and protest "No! That's not the correct answer." His question really isn't a
question at all; or rather it's a question in the Socratic method, in which the
purpose in asking is not to get an informative answer. He asks it in order to
make a point, highlight his agenda, grind his axe, spread his views, employ his
metaphor, and proclaim his gospel.
For the contributor trawling the site looking for questions to answer with facts
and a rudimentary knowledge of history, coming across this question and
electing to play it straight, perhaps the best answer would be a simple:
"There is no such region 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.
Turkey, Iran, Israel, and Cyprus are non-Arab Middle Eastern countries.
The Middle East is the homeland for a good number of nations that practice the religion of Islam. Also, the nation of Israel is home to the religion of Judaism which was established in that area several thousand years ago. It is the oldest religion which is still practiced in the Middle East. Israel is also home for many Christians and Muslims. A large number of Christians are scattered in Egypt and other parts of the Middle East. It can be said that Christianity began in the Middle East when a number of Jewish people converted to Christianity.

The Eastern Mediterranean, specifically Israel.
Israel is hated in the Middle East and has been since its creation. This is because Israel is the Jewish homeland but the Arabs who live across the Middle East and also North Africa also see Israel as their homeland. Syria are one of the many Arab nations in the Middle East. It is this religious conflict that stops Syria and Israel getting along.
== == == == == == There's no requirement for anyone to support the modern State of Israel. However, it is a basic tenet that Eretz Yisroel, the Land of Israel, is the homeland of the Jews and a good number of Jewish laws revolve around this location. Most Jews support and cherish Israel. Reform Jews are no different; indeed, ALL movements within Judaism tend to share the same core values. They differ only in how literally they take the Torah. Israel is the only democracy in the entire Middle East; she is a tiny, tiny country, faced with the daily attacks from Hamas terrorists in Gaza and various other terrorist groups. So yes, many Jews are staunch defenders of Israel; she is their national, religious and spiritual homeland. The group of Jews who tend not to support Israel are the small minority who are ultra, ultra, ultra religious and who argue that we shouldn't have had the Jewish homeland until the Jewish Maschiach (messiah) arrives.
