A common misconception and anti-Israel propaganda is that “palestine” is an ancient land founded by Arabs In fact, neither is true. Never in antiquity has any land existed called “palestine” in a region famous for ancient civilizations.

“Palestine” is from a name first imposed on Jews and their ancient land of Israel by the Roman Empire, about 2000 years ago, “palaestina” a Latin word later anglicized into the English word “palestine” Arabs did not populate Israel and Muslims did not exist. Thus, “palestine’” originally and directly is connected with Jews.

Below, Professor Bernard Lewis, considered Dean of Middle East historians, writes about the subject

So just who are israel fighting
The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British government during World War I announcing support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a minority Jewish population. It read:

His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.

if the said palestine never existed the national home for the Jewish people was established in a country that didnt exist does that mean izrahell is also a country that doesn't exist

Your mistake is calling Palestine a country.

The Romans changed the name of Judea to stop the Jews from revolting against them. You know all that.
It was in 135 CE. you know that.
They chose that name because the Philistines had been one group which had once defeated Israel. Only to be defeated by David, etc later on.

The Non Jews are being respected in Israel.
The same cannot be said of how the Arabs respected the Jews from 1920 on, or even the Arab Christians later on.

The National Home for the Jewish People was established on the very land which had alway been Jewish land. Known by Christians, Muslims and others as "Jewish Land, or Israel, or Holy Land".

Israel DOES exist. Just look at all the countries doing business with it, and all the tourists who absolutely love to come to it.

So, its Rome. Hail Rome.

Roman Empire is in the dustbin of history
Many people lived there. If you can can choose one of them to be the only genuine inhabitants and deny all others the right to exist, I can do it as well. Hail Rome and the Palmyrene Empire.

NO ONE, especially the Jews, were denying that others besides the Jews were living in the Land of Israel by WWI.

The Jews ARE the indigenous people of the Land, they have a nearly 4000 year history on it.
One cannot say the same of the Arab Muslims, only 1700 years, and as invaders who took from the Christian Byzantine Greeks.

You are writing nothing but nonsense when it comes to some people having the right to their land and not others.
The Romans have the right to Rome, not Italy.
The Greeks have the right to Greece.
The Ottomans have the right to Turkey.
The British have the right to England.

Never mind that they were Empires. Only one remains, the UK.
And they are not the rightful owners of Israel or Mesopotamia (Iraq), they simply administered it for a short period in time.

Arabs are not the indigenous people of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, or North Africa. But their governments are run by Arab Muslims inspire of the rights the indigenous people of all of those countries should have, but are given none, because the Arabs knew, like the Europeans, how to advance on a land and take it and keep it, especially by one Muslim conqueror or another for a good time for the last 1700 years.

That you are cherry picking. Israel and Palestine have the same right to exist.
