[edit] Palestine

Palestine is one of several names for the geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River and various adjoining lands. Different geographic definitions of Palestine have been used over the millennia, and these definitions themselves are politically contentious. The broadest definition of Palestine was that adopted by the British Mandate of Palestine, which included present-day Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The narrowest definition embraces only the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip which are partly governed by the Palestinian National Authority. Palestinians are mostly Arabic speakers and adherents of either Islam, Christianity, Judaism or Druzism.
