Palestine

Palestine is the name given to the land of Israel by the Romans and others in order to deny that the land belongs to the Jews. It is named after the Philistines who at one time lived in part of the area and were completely conquered by King David.

Currently, the Arabs living in the land of Israel are working to create a state called Palestine in part of the land, though this has been met with mixed views from the international community.

As one of the names for this region over the years has been "Palestine," but that name never referred to a sovereign country [1] nor was it ever an Arab country [2]. Historically, Arab Palestinians have lived primarily in Syria and Jordan. The area Palestine is the home of many terrorist organizations, such as the Palestine Liberation Organization, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade (related to Fatah Arafat & Abu Mazen), Hamas, Islamic Jihad.
