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.
What did the Balfour declaration promise the Jews in Palestine?
The Balfour Declaration was very short, as follows:"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country".This 'national home' was what the Zionists had been pursuing.

The driving of Jews out of their home in palestine was known as?

Was Palestine Carthage or Babylon home of the Hebrews?
None of these. The home of the Hebrews was Israel. After the year 70 CE, when they were kicked out of Israel, The Romans renamed it "Palestine" (but the home of the Hebrews was never called Palestine).
What stated in 1917 that palestine was to be home to the jews?
That would be the BALFOUR DECLARATION. Of course, as purely a memorandum detailing state interests and not actualities, this document had no legal weight. It would require the San Remo Convention in 1920 and the Mandate for Palestine by the League of Nations in 1922 to set the legal precedent that a Jewish National Homeland would be created in Palestine.

Why was the creation of Palestine significant to the Jews?
It depends on what is meant by the term "Palestine". If it is referring to the British Mandate of Palestine, this was important for Jews because it established that it was in the international interest (League of Nations) to create a "national home for the Jewish people". Nobody aside from Jews had really wanted that or wanted to implement that for nearly two thousand years. If it is referring to the current Palestinian Authority, this was critical to Jews because it legitimized, to a certain extent, the Palestinian Arab struggle for identity and self-governance. Jews could no longer point to "amorphous Arabs" causing problems, but a specific and troubled population looking for a state of their own.
