israel
Depending on the definition of the word "nation" there are two very different answers.Nation as a Politically Sovereign Entity: Israel was created entirely on land that constituted part of the British Mandate of Palestine. A mandate is a sub-national, colonial entity and is certainly not a nation. Therefore Israel did not "replace" or "displace" any nation if this sense of the term is understood. (Would someone say that the creation of the United States displaced a politically sovereign nation? - same argument)Nation as a metaphor for a Conscious Ethnic Group:Whether the Israelis intended to or not (there is much debate on the subject), Arab Palestinians who lived in the British Mandate of Palestine were forced to flee in some parts and were scared into fleeing in other parts of the territory that would become Israel. The Palestinian People were certainly displaced by the Creation of the State of Israel and the ensuing war that this action provoked.
After the Jews in Palestine declared independence as the State of Israel, war immediately broke out between the newborn state and its Arab neighbors, including Egypt and Jordan.
Yes and No. The Mandate of Palestine was merely the British Name for the land they occupied in the Southwestern Levantine region of the Middle East. There was no nation of Palestine or independent Governate of Palestine at any point in the prior 2000 years. When the Jewish population of the Mandate of Palestine declared independence, they used the name Israel to denote their country. The Arab residents of the British Mandate preferred to continue using the name Palestine to represent themselves. The majority of the Mandate's land ended up in Israeli hands in 1949, but some parts were under Arab control. It is these Arab areas that will likely form the basis of the Palestinian State.
It's usually referred to the British Mandate of Palestine. It was territory won from the Ottoman Empire in 1917-18 (World War 1). From 1945-48 it was a United Nations mandate, before that a League of Nations mandate.
Because the Jewish state does not allow it, and the USA, is with Israel.
Israel.
Israel did not become a nation on account of any pact. It became a nation on account of Ottoman surrender to the British in the Treaty of Versailles, League of Nations promulgation of teh Mandate for Palestine, the UN Resolution 181 (II), and the Israeli Declaration of Independence, none of which are pacts.
Palestine.
The Jewish nation is known as Israel. In past history present day Israel was known as Palestine; in Old Testament times Israel was the northern half of present day Israel, the southern half was known as Judea.
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.
Israel was created in 1948 from the British Mandate of Palestine.
They first called it Canaan, then the Land of Israel, then Israel & Judea, then it was united back to Israel, then The Romans renamed it Palestine, then the Modern Jews named it the State of Israel.
Great Britain, which captured Palestine from the Ottoman Empire in World War 1.
The Palestinian Territories consist of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in Israel; the UN refers to them as the "Occupied Palestinian Territories' and are a priority of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Israel and the State of Palestine are major enemies. They have been conflicting since the formation of the Jewish state in 1948. Israel and Palestine have been involved in several wars, all of which Israel has won. Israel is a greater military power than Palestine, which is why Israel has won more wars and killed more Palestinians in the process. However, the Israelis are only defending their nation. Israel has occupied Palestine for almost sixty years. Israel has the right to protect itself against attacks, and has a strict military policy to protect itself because it is surrounded by enemy nations. The current government of Palestine is regarded as a terrorist organization by many countries, such as Israel and the United States, which is why Israel is especially cautious.
A:There had been no nation of Israel for over seven hundred years before the time of Jesus. The smaller southern nation of Judah, or Judea, was controlled by the Roman Empire, as was Samaria, the successor state to Israel.
