Before 1948, one must go back to 70 AD to find any existence of Israel. In 70 AD the Roman Legions sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the temple as Jesus, the carpenter turned rabbi ,prophesyed would happen. And if this of His words are true , is not The Holy Bible true in its entirety? The proper name of the land is PALESTINE. For Israel is the name of a man. " your name shall be no more Jacob but Israel, for thou hast fought with God and won." In 135 AD the reigning Roman emperor gave the name Syria Palestine to the region of the twelve tribes of ancient Israel. It was during the overthrow of the ten northern tribes by Nebuchadnezzar that the records of the tribes were destroyed, and from that day forward no Jew could trace his lineage back to the 12 tribes. The. 10 tribes had Samaria as their capital. Judah and Benjamin had Jerusalem as their capital. It's all PALESTINE.
