You should accept Israel for Israelites. When I got Judah, I assumed that was how you were referring to the entire Jewish nation. Interesting quiz!

I think you should accept "Ottoman", "Byzantine" and "Jerusalem", without requiring "Empire" or "Kingdom". Just because I would have scored 3 more.

Ptolemies and Caliphates are misspelled. Egypt also controlled Palestine during period of the New Kingdom. Accept Byzantium and Eastern Roman Empire for Byzantine Empire. Perhaps accept Crusaders for Kingdom of Jerusalem. Perhaps have the Sassanids (614-625, roughly) as an answer, or Jordan, as they formally annexed and had de facto control over the West Bank from 1948-1967.

Saladin was an Ayubbid, and the Ayubbids took most of Palestine in 1187; the crusaders kept the coast, got Jerusalem back in 1229, and then lost it again in 1244, finally losing their last foothold in 1291. You ought to have 1187 for the Ayubbids and then 1250 for the Mamluks.
