The truth is that Palestine is no more real than Never-Never Land. The first time the name was used was in 70 A.D. when the Romans committed genocide against the Jews, smashed the Temple and declared the land of Israel would be no more. From then on, the Romans promised, it would be known as Palestine. The name was derived from the Philistines, a Goliathian people conquered by the Jews centuries earlier. It was a way for the Romans to add insult to injury. They also tried to change the name of Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina, but that had even less staying power.

Palestine has never existed -- before or since -- as an autonomous entity. It was ruled alternately by Rome, by Islamic and Christian crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire and, briefly, by the British after World War I. The British agreed to restore at least part of the land to the Jewish people as their homeland.

There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of 1 percent of the landmass.

The use of the word, "Palestine" is a tendentious anachronism. It has egregious political overtones, insofar as it implies that the "Palestinians," and not the Jews, are the legitimate inheritors of Eretz Israel, the Land of Israel. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The word, "Palestine" is not Arabic! It is a Roman corruption of "Philistine," a Mediterranean island people who came to the southeast coast of Canaan from the opposite direction as did the "Palestinians." They were a sea people, whereas the progenitors of the "Palestinians," were nomadic desert tribesman who arrived two thousand years later.

The Philistines first appeared on the shores of Canaan in the thirteenth century BCE, during the same period in which hundreds of Israelite villages were being established atop the hills of Canaan. "From the middle of the twelfth to the end of the eleventh century, [the Israelites] fought with the Philistines for the political and cultural domination of the country... From the early tenth century on.. [the Philistines] gradually lost their cultural distinctiveness and merged with the Canaanite population."1

The Philistines were illiterate, so we do not know what language they spoke. It was definitely not Arabic!

The holy language of the Jews is Hebrew, a language of Canaanite origin. The ancestral tongue of the Jews was Aramaic, a Semitic language, whose roots lie in Arameia, the region from which the Bible tells us that the tribe of Abraham originated. The Bible informs us that when Abraham arrived in Canaan he "assumed the tongue of Canaan." Linguists confirm that etymology. The philological transformation to Hebrew took place 2500 years before the Arabs invaded the area. Judah became a nation about 1000 BCE, over 1700 years before the Arab incursion.

The native tongue of the "Palestinians" is Arabic, an import from Arabia.

Eretz Israel has always been a homeland in which oppressed Jews could find refuge. After the massacres of 1391 in Spain, "Jews left Spain for Erez Israel throughout the century."8

When the Jews were expelled from Spain and Portugal, many Jews fled to the East, "In 1515 the Ottoman Empire gained control of Erez Israel; in 1517 Egypt was conquered. Thus regions populated by Jews, and the land to which Jews had always aspired, were incorporated into the larger framework of an Empire."
"During the 1520's the traveler Moses Bassola found in Jerusalem 'about three hundred householders [1000-1500 persons]' and 'about five hundred widows who had a special status' and 'more than two hundred souls recipient of charity.' In 1650 a Jew from Prague noted that in Jerusalem 'Sephardi Jews had dwellings and shops... and among them are many craftsmen."12

What was true of Jerusalem was even more true of Safed, a city populated entirely by Jews, as were many of the villages around the city. "In 1522 more than 300 householders are spoken of in Safed. By the middle of the sixteenth century, travelers already reported the presence of 8 - 10,000 Jews in Safed - most of them Sephardim. By the early seventeenth century there were some 20.000 Jews in the city, and, according to some authorities the number even reached 30,000."13

I do not know if you have the patience to read it all, there is so much more, but to summarize your question: YES there were always Jews living in Israel (or Eretz Israel) before WW1

They were there as a minority. Most of the people were christian and muslims living peacefully under the control of the Ottoman empire. It was only the Zionist movement started by some fundamentalist European jews in the 19th century that led to the trouble we see today.
Most of the jews in Israel today come from the USA, Europe and Africa.

I even do not recognize even if Wikipedia's information are precise. As each and everything about that region is politicized, i'm particular you'll come across someone to argue that factor besides as all others. once you're saying it would were smarter to make a Jewish position of delivery someplace else, you're implying that there turned right into a unmarried, and unmarried-minded, authority that oversaw the entire remember. really, there have been schemes to make a "Jewish position of delivery" someplace else--exceedingly Uganda--yet I project you in searching a livable piece of land contained in the international that's underpopulated, non violent, and would welcome wholesale immigration by utilising finished strangers. basically evaluate the quantity of noise it truly is being generated over immigration contained in the US, itself a us of a of immigrants. i'd be attracted to understanding more beneficial about why the Palestinians did not settle for the UN plan to partition the area between Israel and Trans-Jordan.

Back then, nobody really cared about the land-there were some Jews living here and there, and some muslims. Then, when the Jews came down to live there-all of the damned arab countries decided they wanted it, and started fighting us for it.

Ofcourse, there IS more, but basically, that land belongs to us fair and square-even before World War 1, waaay back thousands of years, the Jews settled there-our 3 forfathers, Abraham (Ovrohom) Isaac (Yitzchak) and Jacob (Yaakov).

There were a fair number. In the 1830s, Kinglake had no trouble finding Jewish scholars to ask them about the Jewish view on Jesus (he was a sorcerer, but everyone agreed the miracles had taken place). What is more, immigration of Zionists had already started before WWI

There was no Israel until 1947.

There were Jewish people in the geographical region now known as Israel however.

So the answer to your last question is "No.".

There were a great many there. They had their area, the Muslims had theirs. There was little trouble before Britain and west became involved. Tom T did you know that Jesus was from that area? I guess he is a kike too? Seig heil!

Good question.
