Not sure what you mean, "the state of Israel" was created in 1948, it's less than 80 years old

The modern state of Israel declared its independence in 1948 (and was immediately attacked by all of its neighbors, something which re-occurred multiple times). The ancient "state" of Israel has been in that land for north of 3000 years. As archaeological evidence continues to demonstrate.

With a ~2500 year gap between the fall of the Iron Age kingdoms of Israel and Judah and the 1948 modern state.

And continuous presence of jews in that land for the entire time.

Your point?

[inawarminister]

yes, under the name of Palestinian Jews.

Nonsense. It was, not “has been”.
