The “State of Israel” includes the territory and population within the 1949 cease fire lines plus the Golan Heights and eastern Jerusalem. The “Land of Israel” includes the previous two areas in addition to Judea and Samaria, occasionally referred to as the “west bank,” a term that had no political relevance until the seizure of this territory during 1948-1949 by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s military."
And: "It is not an exaggeration to mention that no Palestinians existed during this time [1917-1948] either."
