Selama periode pra-negara, Yishuv Zionis di Palestina mengembangkan empat strategi utama:

During the pre-state period the Zionist Yishuv in Palestine developed four key strategies:

• Penggunaan luas istilah Palestina bersama Eretz Israel dalam Zionisme (akhir abad ke-19 hingga 1948).

• The widespread use of the term Palestine in tandem with Eretz Israel in Zionism (late 19th century until 1948).

• Apropriasi nama-nama Arab, hibridisasi nama-nama permukiman Yahudi, dan indigenisasi para pemukim.

• Appropriation of Arab names, hybridisation of names of Jewish settlements and indigenisation of the settlers.

• Instrumentalisasi narasi mitos dalam Alkitab dan arkeologi Alkitab "restorasionis": Hebraisasi dan pembiblisan nama-nama tempat berbahasa Arab Palestina.

• Instrumentalisation of the myth-narratives of the Bible and ‘restorationist’ biblical archaeology: Hebrewisation and biblicisation of Palestinian Arabic toponyms.

• Pemanfaatan daftar toponimi dari Palestine Exploration Fund dan karya-karya arkeolog Alkitab Barat.

• Utilisation of the toponymic lists of the Palestine Exploration Fund and the works of Western biblical archaeologists.
