Semasa tempoh pra-negara, Yishuv Zionis di Palestin membangunkan empat strategi utama:

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

Penggunaan meluas istilah Palestin 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).

Perampasan nama-nama Arab, percampuran nama-nama penempatan Yahudi dan penduduk peneroka yang dipribumikan.

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

• Instrumentalisasi naratif mitos Alkitab dan arkeologi Alkitab 'pemulihan': Hebraisasi dan Alkitabisasi toponim Arab Palestin.

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

• Penggunaan senarai toponimik Palestine Exploration Fund dan karya-karya ahli arkeologi Alkitab Barat.

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