@GrimmSoulzz03 Yes you are wrong.
There have in the past been kingdoms named Israel, but they as long gone as the societies of the Ancient Egyptians.
Modern Hebrew was created in the late 20th century, and designed to be backward compatible with ancient Hebrew, but it is an altogether different language.
As for the Israelites, these are not the same people who arrived in the Middle East as part of the Zionist movement, not are they their direct descendants.
I suggest you read Arthur Koestler’s The Thirteenth Tribe (and Judah Halevi’s much earlier work on the topic), but in around 8th century AD, a Turkic tribe known as the Khazars underwent a voluntary mass conversion to Judaism. The people in referring to as Europeans arriving to found the modern nation state of Israel are a descendent of this Turkic people, not a Middle Eastern people.
I believe that many of the people you Christians worship as the descendants of Israelites are what most of us call Palestinians, although the Palestinians have become Arabized over time. Some converted to Christianity (those people called Palestinian Christians, which white Christians don’t believe have anything in common with), some converted to Islam, and some remained Jewish.
