When was Palestine under Islamic rule?

Palestine was under the control of various Islamic Empires from 634 C.E. to 1917 C.E. with the exception of 200 years of Crusader States from 1100-1300. However, Palestine was never organized as a single governate nor was it a regional hub under any Islamic Empire. It was considered a regional backwater.


Why do the Arabs who live in Israel call themselves Palestinians when Palestine means 'home of the Jews'?

The question is based on an incorrect supposition, namely that "Palestine" means "home of the Jews". Palestine was the Roman name for the territory and referred to the Philistines, who had been historic enemies of the Jewish Kingdoms in the area. The Palestinians use the terms "Palestinian" and "Palestine" because those were the terms used by the colonial forces. Prior to the arrival of British and French colonization of the Levant, people in Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria all called themselves "Shamite" which is usually translated as "Greater Syrian". After colonization, each began to identify with the territorial boundaries of the various new mandates.


How and why did the Zionists decide on Palestine?

The word Zionist can conjure up many emotions. Likewise the word Palestine. This question and answer will be built up over time and various links will be added to try and keep the answer as balanced as possible. The use of the name "Palestine" in the English Language only became more common after the Renaissance according to Gudrun Krämer. The name was not used by Muslims in Ottoman times - so for almost 400 years. Most of Christian Europe referred to the area as the Holy Land. It is thought etymologically to be a form of Philistine. Indeed, the Arabic word for Palestine is Philistine. The name Palestine was officially revived by the British after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and applied to the territory that was placed under British Mandate. Zion is a Hebrew word that means Jerusalem. The Zionist movement started in the 1800s with the aim of having a state for the Jewish people dispersed over 2000 years all over the globe in what became known as the diaspora. Jews were especially being persecuted in Eastern Europe. It seemed logical for them to have a state in their ancestral homeland of Israel. Initially, the Zionist movement encouraged immigration to Palestine to increase the Jewish population there. The movement gained momentum in the 1900s and for various reasons which are a completely different question, the British were mandated Palestine by the League of Nations. The name Palestine was officially revived by the British at this time. After WW2 and the major persecution and Genocide of the Jews, Israel unilaterally declared independence in 1948.

What is the population of Palestine?

It really depends on what you mean by 'Palestine'? There is no country today called Palestine, but in the past there were various territories referred to as Palestine, though it was never a well-defined independent country. Many people refer to Palestine as the territory controlled by Britain after the First World War, under what was called "The British Mandate of Palestine" (which was captured from Turkey during WWI). That territory today includes the countries of Israel and Jordan, as well as the West Bank and Gaza Strip territories. Others refer to Palestine only as the territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. There are various other definitions, and to many it is a highly charged emotional and political subject. The population today of Israel is 7.5 million people. The Arab population of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip today is about 3.5 million (there is no accurate census). The population of Jordan is just over 6 million.

Not exactly. The entire region was called Israel up until the year 70 CE. From 70 CE to 1948 CE, it was called Palestine, named by the Romans, after Israel's enemy (the Phillistines). After 1948, it was partitioned into two separate countries, called Israel and Palestine; however, the people who today are called "Palestinians" did not accept the partition, and two wars later, Israel had control of the areas that were designated "Palestine".
