I'm confused about the differences of these two countries. I put it out in the public forum to, maybe, get an unbiased answer/definition. I was under the impression that the 2 countries were the same (odd as that may sound!) Obviously they are not! What are the geographical bounderies of the two? Is there a specific language identified with each, and if so, what is it?
Please don't take my innocent questions as a start of some idealogic war. That is not the intent. I would just like to clear up, in my mind, who/what/where these two (really one?) countries are.

Palestine was the name of the area of land that is now Israel. Israel was created in 1947 and it was composed mostly of the land formerly known as Palestine. There were several ethnicities, Jewish, and Palestinian among them. The Palestinians want their own country and certain territories within Israel have been designated as belonging to them, but its nothing that would constitute a country so far, although that is one of their goals.

There was never an independent state by the name of Palestine nor does one currently exist. There used to be a British Mandate of Palestine, a colony of the British Empire between 1917 and 1948. Before that, it was a territory of the Ottoman Empire (based in present day Turkey).

The State of Israel has existed since 1948. In that year, there was a plan to partition the land into a Jewish and Arab state. The Jews accepted the plan and the Arabs rejected it. The end result was that the remainder of the land became part of Jordan and Egypt. In 1967, the 6 day war occurred and that territory (the West Bank and Gaza) became part of Israel.
Due to the peace process that started in 1993, parts of the West Bank and Gaza were given over to the Palestinian Authority but this did not and currently does not constitute an independent state.

Palestine is a region (not a country) of the middle east currently divided among:

1. Jordan (75% of Palestine)
2. Israel
3. part of Lebanon
4. part of Syria
5. disputed territories:
- Judea and Samaria (West Bank)
- Gaza

Since the late 1960s, the Arabs of Judea and Samaria and Gaza have started calling themselves "Palestinians". a newer trend has been to call Judea and Samaria and Gaza "Palestine".

Palestine is not a country, nor has it ever been a country.
Palestine is came to be a description for a territory of land originally from a territory so named back when the Byzantines 'owned' the area, its basically taken from a greek word.

Israel is part of the Zionist project for One World Dictatorship.
It is an artificial ethnic state they need to control the world drugs sex, forced people trafficking.
It was set up after WWII when Marxist Zionist militias ethnically cleansed i.e murdered and terrorized the existing Arab population out the region known as Palestine since the time of the Romans.

It was started when the Zionists made a deal to bring the US into WWI on the side of the UK and in return the Brits promised to allow Jewish settlement there after the defeat of the ottoman Turk empire. This they did in letter to 'Lord' Rothschild now known as the Balfour declaration in 1917 , the year the US entered the war.

WWII was also largely orchestrated by the same Zionist banking Dynasties like the Rothschilds , Warburgs etc who funded Hitler , who himself may have been an illegitimate Rothschild.

Post WWII Zionist gangs like the Irgun, the Stern gang and the Haganah, who were mainly eastern European atheist communist Jews, started attacking the British, including the false flag bombing of the British HQ in Palestine.
The Brits bankrupt after WWII handed the issue over to the UN which was Zionist-dominated who voted to recognize the state of Israel in 1948.

It has been terrorizing the region since and backed massively by the US taxpayer and is expanding and working to destroy all the countries of region which are a threat to them , hence the 'War on Terror' which is Zionist war.

They want another World War so that the all the great powers, including the US will be destroyed and the remainder of the world' population will be enslaved to them.

The intend to install the Anti-Christ in Jerusalem to be leader of the One World Dictatorship.

Most are too brainwashed to realize the truth even when it's put right in front of their noses.

many ordinary Jews are unaware of Zionists' true agenda and in the case of Nazis were its victims

Israel didn't exist until 1948 when the British and the US decided to give "god's chosen people" (zionists) some other people's prime real estate in the middle east.

Palestine is the Roman name for the Jewish homeland of Israel. Similar to Germany being the American name for the country of Deutchland or Russia being the American name for the Soviet Union.
