Arabic-language city names of Palestine before the creation of Israel?

ish... Before Israel, there was an area called Palestine. And before there was Palestine, there were the Jewish Biblical nations of Judea (which was renamed Palestine by the Romans when they conquered it) and Israel. As the poster below notes... before it was Jerusalem, it was "Al Kuds." And before it was Al Kuds, it was...Jerusalem. You can pull out a Bible and find the ancient Hebrew names for many of those cities,

Jerusalem was Al Quds Hebron was Al Khalil (a name for Abraham in Arabic) most of the other major cities is the same SEE THIS MAP http://www.alquds.com/files/images/villages.jpg

It is hard to find all names in one list. You may search wikipedia by the name of each city, you will find the original name written!

The correct answer was given by Affinity. Any claim to the contrary is based on recently created myths. "Virtually all the place names used by local Arabs are non-Arabic in origin, deriving either from Biblical Hebrew names, or from later Greek or Roman names." http://www.amislam.com/report.htm This linked article describes the origins of the Arabic names for several Israeli towns and cities. For example, did you know that the Arabic name -- used in the early Middle Ages and in some hadith-- for Jerusalem, Israel's eternal capital, used to be "Iliya"? Why? This was how Arabic speakers transliterated the Latin term, "Aelia". (The Latin name refers to a powerful Roman family and to the site of the pagan temple to Jupiter erected deliberately on top of the burnt Holy Jewish Temple.) The location of the Jews' Holy Temple --in Hebrew: "Beit haMiqdash"-- became known in Arabic as "Bayt al-Maqdis". Historically, the Jews referred to their capital as "Yerushalayim, Ir HaQodesh" [Jerusalem, the Holy City]. Eventually, the Arabs adopted this ancient Hebrew name and began referring to Jerusalem itself as "al-Quds" [the Holy]. (It may be helpful to note that Jerusalem/Al-Quds was never the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. While the Jordanians ruled the area for nearly two decades, it apparently never occurred to them to make Jerusalem a capital city, and no Arab leader visited there.) Another classic example is the Arabic term , Nablus, for the Biblical city of Shekhem. This came from the the Greek name "Neopolis" [for “New City”]. Numerous other examples exist.
