Who occupied Palestine in 1944?
In 1944, Israel/Palestine was under British sovereignty as the British Mandate for Palestine.
Who has more land Palestine or Israel?
It depends on your terms. If you are referring to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip cumulatively as Palestine and the 1949 borders of the State of Israel as Israel, then Israel is 3x larger than Palestine. If you are referring to the British Mandate of Palestine, then the State of Israel according to 1949 borders is smaller than Palestine. If you are comparing the current areas under Israeli control to the area of Mandatory Palestine, they are roughly equal. (The gain in the Golan Heights is more-or-less offset by the loss of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank Zone A regions.)
Was Israel a colony?
No. Palestine (What the area was called before Israel declared independence) was under Ottoman (Turkish) rule from 1516 to 1918, at which point the British Empire declared a mandate in Israel, which lasted until Israel declared independence in May 14th, 1948. A Mandate is a declaration of intent, meaning the mandating country will control the zone and support the people who inhabit it until they are ready to declare independence.
Did the Holocaust get to Israel?
No. What is now Israel did not exist as an independent country at the time but was part of British Mandate of Palestine and therefore under British rule then. In the course of the fighting in N. Africa in World War 2 the Germans did not reach Cairo and did not cross the Suez Canal. So, there was no Holocaust in Palestine/Israel.
What countries border palestine?
It depends on how you define Palestine. If you define it as the territories under the de facto control of the Palestinian Authority, it only borders Israel. If you consider only the territories of the West Bank, even those under de facto Israeli control, it borders both Israel and Jordan. If you consider all of the Palestinian Territories, also including the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, it borders Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. If you consider the former Mandate of Palestine that many Arabs use when they discuss Palestine replacing Israel, it would border Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon (but no Israel since Israel would be gone).
What was Israel before an independent state?
Israel was a part of the British Mandate for Palestine, a quasi-colony under British authority.

Why did Romans rename Israel Judaea?
They didn't. In antiquity the land occupied by Jews under Roman rule was named Judaea. After they were pushed out of the territory it was renamed Palestine. It did not become Israel until the founding of the modern nation in the 20th century.
Is Israeli in Palestine?
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".

How did Israel come under Nazi rule?
Israel (at that time Mandatory Palestine) never came under Nazi Rule. The Nazi forces were stopped from invading Mandatory Palestine from the west due to the British victory at the Second Battle of El-Alamein in Egypt. The Nazis had no access to Mandatory Palestine from the north or east since Turkey was a neutral state in World War II that the Nazis chose not to trifle with.
Who was the President of Israel in 1900?
Israel has had presidents only since 1949. In 1900, Israel (then called Palestine) was under the Ottoman Empire, which was at that time headed by Sultan Abdulhamid II. Palestine was divided into the districts of Nābulus and Acre, both of which were linked with the province of Beirut; and the autonomous district of Jerusalem, which dealt directly with Istanbul.
Why did western countries want to control the Ottoman Empire?
It had enviable pieces of land under its control such as Egypt, Israel/Palestine, and Iraq.
When and from whom did Israel gain its independence?
Israel gained its independence from the UNITED KINGDOM in 1948.Israel was previously the BRITISH MANDATE FOR PALESTINE, which was a territory in the Middle East under British Occupation. Contrary to the view that Israel became independent from "Palestine", the territory was not an autonomous country or region called Palestine prior to independence. To say this would be as absurd as saying that the United States gained independence from the Native Americans instead of saying that it got independence from Great Britain.
