Fairly easy. I know it's not entirely accurate but maybe accept "Judah" for Judea? Also, Zionism was the movement to establish a Jewish homeland, but it wasn't always exclusively about establishing one in Israel. There were proposals for establishing a Jewish homeland in Uganda, the United States, the USSR, Japan, and Madagascar, among other places. Establishing it in the Holy Land simultaneously made the most and least amount of sense.
If it were me, I would make a quiz about each of the two periods (and why not one about the crusades ^^). But let's say the gap is more justified than with Iran/Persia.
It's part of the nationalist myth (all nationalist myths) that there is continuity that exists between certain historical people and those that wish to gain legitimacy by claiming direct lineage from them. The ancient kingdom of Israel and the modern day nation-state of Israel are not the same thing, even though they share a similar name.
Arp, you may enjoy my own Palestine Quiz, though, I've been meaning to update it for a while and never got around to it.
Canada Dry: you seem very determined to document your detachment from reality all over this website. Have been a flurry of similar comments from you in the last couple months.
There were several Herods who ruled over various kingdoms during the Herodian tetrarchy. I assumed you were referring to Herod the Great but you may want to clarify.
Why? Less than half of the questions are about something in the Bible. Also most of the Bible is about the history of the israelites so it's relevant in a quiz about Israel
That, and also many of these questions do not pertain to the modern-day nation-state of Israel, anyway. Bethlehem was certainly within the historical boundaries of the land of Israel and the kingdom of Israel.
they arguably both are under the control of Israel, but, even if not... if there was a question about Crimea on a history of Ukraine quiz, or a question about the Philippines on a history of the USA quiz, or a question about Babylon on a history of Persia quiz... would you complain about that?
I am not Zionist, but the place where they picked the homeland for the Jews makes sense. It's where Jewish genetics come from and where they are originally from. Only that I agree with... Zionism by itself has quite a lot of issues
