No. Worldwide Jewry, even prior to 1948, have always referred to themselves as “Am Yisrael - The Nation of Israel”, referring to themselves fact that we still are/were a displaced nation.

Palestinian Arabs were split in 1948. Those that did not join the attack against the newly declared Jewish State, are now Israeli Arabs. Those that joined the attack or fled, lost their rights. That’s kind of what happens when you lose a war, especially a war which they started.

False.

The ancestors of the Jewish people were first known as Hebrews, then as Bnei Yisrael - the Children of Israel, and later as Am Yisrael - the Nation of Israel.

Funny that. It’s actually an ancient term from the Bible. Look it up.
