The people who were living in Palestine in 1947. Palestine is the old name for Israel; it's the same place.
=============================================
Another contributor attempted to clarify:
On land set aside by a majority vote in the UN General Assembly, the residents of
that land declared it a sovereign nation in May, 1948, and named it Israel. It was
immediately attacked by the combined military forces of several of its neighbors,
lost a significant portion of the original area, but survived the attack. It was soon
admitted as a member of the United Nations, and now is recognized by, and has
mutual diplomatic relations with, all but about 30 other countries in the world.
The UN General Assembly also set aside adjacent land for administration by the
primarily Arab residents of that area. That portion was not declared a distinct
nation, and was absorbed into the Kingdom of Jordan.
During the 1967 war, Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the Golan
Heights from Syria, and the West Bank of the Jordan River from Jordan. When
Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel, the Sinai ... minus the Gaza Strip ...
was returned to Egyptian sovereignty. Israel unilaterally disengaged from Gaza,
withdrawing its military and removing its settlers, in 2005, leaving it to the rule
of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which was soon driven out by Hamas.
Neither the Golan nor the West Bank has been returned to Syria or Jordan yet,
as those nations have not acknowledged Israel's right to exist, and certain of
their nationals maintain the pesky habit of rocketing and mortaring Israel whenever
they can get close enough.
In conclusion, we would ask that contributors who feel this information to be
erroneous should post corrections to its facts, but should not delete it simply
because they disagree with its perceived tone or intent.
