Great advice. Since you obviously haven't looked up 'Palestine' there,
I'll post for you what they say:

"Palestine... is a region in the Middle East extending inland from the
eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Its political status is hotly
disputed. See Region of Palestine.

"In present-day usage, the term is frequently used in political
advocacy, referring to land considered as rightfully belonging to the
Palestinians, particularly the State of Palestine, recognized by 2/3 of
the world's nations since its declaration of independence in the
1980s."

Moreover, looking up Region of Palestine it says:

"Palestine was defined by the San Remo Conference as the area bordered
by the Mediterranean Sea, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and a
short stretch of Red Sea coastline between the latter two. These
borders include all of present-day Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip, and some part of Jordan."

So, thanks! You gave me a great place to support what I was saying. It
looks like you follow the Dick Cheney method of offering supporting
Web-based evidence. Good idea!
