Palestine and Israel
Almost all the places mentioned in the Gospels and in the Bible are still inhabited by Arabs and not by Jews.
The latter, in fact, colonized in the last century the territory that lay between the mountains and the sea, which had been marginal and sparsely populated because it was unhealthy; they reclaimed it and made it rich and fertile. Even Israeli Jerusalem is an entirely new city, whereas historic Jerusalem, enclosed within the walls of Suleiman, and also its suburbs, have the same inhabitants as before 1948.
