Well let me give you a history lesson...after world war 2 the United Nations decided to give some land for the jews after everybody felt sorry for them from the hitler nazi thing...now the neighboring countries don't like isreal thus more fighting

Another stupid question. Maps keep changing.

Since 1947, it's been on the map
After WW2, the UN decided to create the state of Israel

it's right there in the middle, just below Lebanon, left of Syria and Jordan and above Egypt. Don't use your grandpa's 1814 acquired atlas anymore.

Its close to Egypt the Persian golf Jordan you know in the middle east- northern Africa 1947 is when the country currently known as Israel came to be along with Iraq and Iran it was the cost of the lend-lease program(war supplies for Great britain from the us) And was an AmericanEuropean supported action for the surviving European and American jews to dislocate the indigenous people(Palestinans)

A lot of countries were called different names in old maps. Try looking for Canaan then look on Google Earth and in the morning go buy yourself a decent modern map.

freegirl

yea it occupied Palestine.

battleclanextra

It has always been on the map, just north of egypt. But it wasnt called Israel until 1947.

rodders

It was given back To them just after the second world war, by the Americans and the UK. That is why there is still conflict out there.

Lord Percy Wooster IV

yes it was, you havnt done your research

neverknowsbestist

Its next to Jordan. They declared independence in 1948.

Israel is i think between palestine and somewhere else? it was given to the jewish people after ww2.cos they had been murdered and pogromed for years
that why the Gaza strip is such a contended place
cos the palestinians think its there's and the jews don't want terrorists next door]
