'''Palestine''' is the name given to the land of [[Israel]] by the [[Roman]]s and others in order to deny that the land belongs to the [[Jew]]s. It is named after the Philistines who at one time lived in part of the area and were completely conquered by [[King David]].
Palestine (from Latin: Palaestina; Hebrew: פלשת Pleshet, פלשתינה Palestina; Arabic: فلسطين Filastīn, Falastīn) is one of many names for the geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the River Jordan. Many different definitions of the region have been in usage in the past three thousand years.

In the Qur'an, the term الأرض المقدسة ("Holy Land", Al-Ard Al-Muqaddasah) is mentioned at least seven times, once when Moses proclaims to the Children of Israel: "O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah hath assigned unto you, and turn not back ignominiously, for then will ye be overthrown, to your own ruin." (Surah 5:21)

Currently, the [[Arab]]s 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 [http://www.israelinsider.com/views/articles/views_0297.htm] nor was it ever an Arab country
[http://christianactionforisrael.org/never_arab.html]. 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]].
