THE DESTRUCTION OF THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL WAS THE EXILE OF JEWS BY THE ROMAN EMPIRE AS THE JEWS REBLED AGAINST THE ROMAN OPPRESSION, AND LATER HAD THEIR SECOND TEMPLE BURNED. THEY WOULD CALL THIS LAND PALESTINA AS A PUNISHMENT FOR JEWS, AND TO GET RID OF THEIR HISTORY. IN 1918 AFTER THE FALL OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, THE BRITISH TOOK OVER SYRIAN PALESTINA, AND CALLED IT THE BRITISH MANDATE OF PALESTINE, UNDER THE RULE OF THE BRITISH, NEVER AN INDEPENDENT STATE, NOR AN ARAB STATE, ONLY BECOMING ONE DURING THE OTTOMAN RULE. THE BRITISH WOULD ALLOW ZIONISTS TO SETTLE IN THIS LAND AS AFTER THE HOLOCAUST, THEY PROMISED THEM LAND.
