Israel is the ancient homeland of the Israelites' forefathers. It housed the Israelites from the time of Joshua until the First destruction (over 800 years), and again during the Second Temple (several centuries) and after the Second Destruction until the time of Constantine. In recent centuries there has been a continuous Jewish presence in the Holy Land for (at least) the last eight centuries.
