Main article: Definitions of Palestine and Palestinian

• Palestine - also called the "Holy Land", is a historic geographical region in the Middle East, on the southern east coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

• The State of Palestine is a recent attempt by the Palestinian National Authority to create a Palestinian state.

• The Palestinian people, many of whom are Palestinian refugees living both within the "Palestinian territories" (including Judea and Samaria), and the Gaza Strip), and as both citizens and refugees of other countries. (While Jordan officially considers its citizens from the Palestine region to be Jordanian and not Palestinian, the ethnic nationality remains a factor of self-determination. Arabs living in the parts of Israel not included in the PA-administered territories refer to themselves either as Israeli-Arabs or as Palestinians.)

• The term "Palestinian" once also referred to Jews living in Palestine. It has been deprecated since the establishment of Israel, and the term Israelis now applies.
