∙ 11y agoThat piece of land has several different names: Canaan, Judea, Mandatory Palestine, and the Land of Israel. While these names refer to overlapping territories, they are not exactly the same thing. Understandably, people will use different names in order to give legitimacy to their different opinions.

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.
Did Israel conquer Palestine or did Palestine conquer Israel?
It is a difficult question to answer. If we review ancient history, Israel was there 5 thousand years go till about year 0. In early 20th century Israeli was mainly populated by tribes of Arab nations and Israeli settlers, and in 1948 the UN declared a two countries solution in Israel for the Jewish and the Palestinians. Therefore, Israel declared independence - followed up by war declaration from most of the Arab nations around Israel and the Arab tribes living in Israel - later be called Palestinians (by the name of the place - Palestine), Israel won the war while conquering a few areas in Israel. Another reference can be made to the name "Philistines" - which is an ancient word from the bible describing invader tribes from around Israel. Philistines in biblical Hebrew means invaders. Often times, the Palestinians are identified with the Philistines since the Roman Name "Palestine" was derived from the word "Philistine".
When was the State of Israel formed out of Palestine?
Israel was declared an independent Jewish State on May 14, 1948. However, the phrasing of the question makes implicit assumptions that must be dealt with. It would seem from the way that the question is written that Palestine was a country and then one day, and was renamed Israel the next day. This is not the case. Palestine was a territorial name in the same way that the Riviera in southwestern Europe is a territorial name. It just happens that some of the Riviera is in France and some in Italy. Israel was a state that declared independence in that territory, which was a British Mandate at the time. There were still areas of Palestine that did not become part of Israel. Most of the Arab Palestinians did not consider Israel to be their state and would later identify with the Palestinian State declared in absentia in 1988 and recognized in the Oslo Accords of 1993.

The land of Canaan, now known as Israel/Palestine, according to the Bible. The Bible nowhere uses the name "Palestine" (and should not be used on any Bible map). "Provincia Syria Palestina" was coined by the Roman Emperor Hadrian (in AD135) as a derogatory term against the Israelites, renaming their homeland after Israel's ancient nemeses the Philistines.
