Yid land
Answer:
It is important to read the history of the name Israel to fully understand who they became/are today. God changes Jacob's name to Israel which encompassed all 12 tribes. Before Jacob dies, he 'adopts' Joseph's two sons - Ephraim and Manasseh - as his own and places his name upon them in that order (see Genesis 48:16).
Eventually these tribes would split and the 10 tribes would become the Northern Kingdom with its capital at Samaria. The 2 remaining tribes (predominately) would become known as the Southern Kingdom with Jerusalem as its capital.
The Bible uses terms in the 'national' sense like "house of Israel or "all Israel." When the Bible is speaking prophetically, the representative terms "Jacob or Rachel," "Ephraim," or "house of Joseph," or "Samaria" often relates only to the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom.
Today, the modern nation-state of Israel, is actually "Judah" or the "house of Judah," which since the Babylonian captivity have also been called "Jews."
As I don't know whether the Question meant Israel the person or Israel the nation, both are included here. (As this list is not exhaustive feel free to add to it.)
-My people
-land of Canaan,
-the Land of Israel
-Ephraim
-Israel
-the Children of Israel
-Jacob
-the Children of Jacob
-Zion
-children of Zion
-Garden of Eden [some believe it was in Israel, while some believe it is all Israel]
