Why would Jews ask for a State of Israel instead of a State of Judea?Link? Where is Judea now? Only Israel exists there now.You are right. I took it out of context. The Romans were calling it Palestine before the Europeans started calling it the Levant. Both names are for the Region not a State.The Levant was before Palestine.
Wrong--
Levant, (from the French lever, “to rise,” as in sunrise, meaning the east), historically, the countries along the eastern Mediterranean shores. Common use of the term is associated with Venetian and other trading ventures and the establishment of commerce with cities such as Tyre and Sidon as a result of the Crusades. It was applied to the coastlands of Asia Minor and Syria, sometimes extending from Greece to Egypt. It was also used for Anatolia and as a synonym for the Middle or Near East. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the term High Levant referred to the Far East. The name Levant States was given to the French mandate of Syria and Lebanon after World War I, and the term is sometimes still used for those two countries, which became independent in 1946. An equivalent term, Al- Mashriq (“where the sun rises”) exists in Arabic.

Romans called the country Judea, signifying land of the Jews. Greeks did, as well. Persians called the country Yehud.
Judea was/is the Latinized form of Judah. In the NT, Jesus was born in Judea and is also called King Of Israel.
