I agree with all this below, except that scholars who have
no trouble referring to the area of Iran when they mean Persia, or
 Iraq when they mean Babylon, somehow balk when they want
to refer to the area of land covered by the modern State of Israel.
Scholars who study the Roman period do not refer to Gaul
when they mean the area of land included in modern
France. People ought to apply the same logic, and use
the name of the modern state. It is Israel.

Except the modern state of Israel does not include the core of ancient Israel and ancient Judah.
