How come Israel is in the Bible when it was formed after the Holocaust?

<h3>How come Israel is in the Bible when it was formed after the Holocaust?</h3>

I read that the allied armies(or maybe it was just the U.S., I forgot) helped the jews get Israel after the Holocaust was put to an end, but if the Holocaust was after Jesus' death, how come it's mentioned in the bible? Did the Bible just replace the name Palestine to Israel?
