Palestine comes from the Latin name of the region Palestina (the Roman Name for the Province) which in turn comes from Hebrew P'lishtim (Philistines).

Israel comes from Hebrew Yisra'el which loosely translates as "he that striveth with G-d" and is a name for Jews in general (although originally an alternative name for the biblical figure Jacob/Ya'aqobh).

Palestinian Arabs will call Israel Palestine and Jews and Zionists will call Israel Israel.

Jerusalem contains many physical features. They pretty much contain all of the main ones you can think of:

THE ROCKY HILLS

The Holy Book of Judaism is the Tanakh.

Israel is a nation without an official state religion. (While Israel is the Jewish State, it is only Jewish in the ethnic sense, not the religious sense.) Most Israelis are Jews, but there are Muslim, Christian, Druze, and Baha'i minorities who each have their own holy books.

If the question is asking as to which two countries desperately claim Jerusalem to be theirs, the answer is: Israel and Palestine.

However, Jerusalem was never designed to belong to two countries. Like all cities, it was designed to be a unified city. Every city that has been divided, from Berlin, to Vienna, to Nicosia, to Rome has suffered from having its urban structure divided between two different countries.

The people of Israel interact with their environment through certain activities. Farming by irrigation is a good example of how the people of Israel interact with their environment.

Well currently there is an interesting situation with the supporters of Israel and how it influences Christianity. I'm going to hit you with a strange fact. The largest supporters of Israel are evangelical christians. The reason for this is because in the bible it is stated that the formation of a Jewish state in Israel will bring about armageddon and the second coming of Christ. So currently it influences Christianity pretty heavily

The Assyrians destroyed Israel in 722 BCE and scattered the people throughout their empire, where the former Israelites assimilated the local cultures and religion, and lost their separate ethnic identity. The Assyrians renamed Israel as Samaria and brought people from other parts of their empire into Samaria.

From the Jewish perspective, it's an option, NOT an obligation, for Jews to return to Israel. When the Messiah comes, the Jews will return to Israel because of a desire to be close to the spirituality of the Messiah.

For a number of Christian Zionist groups, Jews must return to Israel to bring on Armageddon and the End of Days. They want this outcome so that Jesus Christ can return and create the Kingdom of God on Earth.

The official Head of State in Israel is the President but his duties are mostly formal. The prime minister is the "decision maker" in Israel.

The antisemitism all over the world especially in Europe make the Jews united in the idea of Zionism ( create a nation ), it made them think that there is no place where they can be safe and live in peace, we can say that the Holocaust and the situation of the Jews in Arab states in the 20 century was "the last straw" for the Jews .
