71 years ago (1944), there was a place known as “Palestine”?
Weird...

Israel was called Palestine. When England ruled it.

Yes. It was west of the TransJordan. Any world map up through the mid-1940s would have shown it. That's where Hitler wanted to send the German Jews but the British blocked him.

Here's a map from the Jewish Virtual Library
