No Israel or no Jews until 50 plus yrs ago? Give me a break and open a history book.
Babylon destroys Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem
586 BC (2586 years ago) Called "The Exile"
About 10,000 Jews where exiled to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar who took only the wealthy, educated Jews and left the others behind.
He divided the land amoungst the poorer Jews and he allowed the captive Jews to settle in one place and continue their religious practice.
The Jews left behind in Israel delt with famine and hard times but their presence in the land never ended.
The Exile ended in 538 when
Cyrus the Persian( persia is todays Iran) conquered Mesopotamia, he allowed the Jews to return home. Cyrus sent them home( to Israel) specifically to worship the God of the Hebrews and by doing so Israel became a nation Of the Hebrew God.
No muslims, no palestine--that all came much much later as Islam only began in 600AD.

Israel existed in that time period . . .but the Bible would be one place to investigate the life style back then. There are 400 years of 'silence' between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Research and you can find out a lot.

There was nothing called Israel, but there was some Jewish tribes living in the desert between norths Egypt and south Palestine. There was no civilization for the Jewish.
The present "what is so called Israel" have been illegally formed 58 years back only.

Probably something like:
build your own shelter,
grow your own food,
harvest it and cook it,
eat, sleep and look after your sheep...
Best bet- look in the bible
and ancient documents
