The historical homeland of the Jews, now called Israel.
The name originated from the Romans, who forced it upon the Jews as punishment for the uprising of Simon Bar Kokhba lasting from 132 CE. - 136 CE.
The name was later used by the British while dividing up the Middle East with other world powers.

(A.K.A. New Pal) An all around fairly nice town. If you were to select Hancock country and tell a baby to put it's finger on it somewhere, that's basically where the high school is located. Very random location surrounded by cornfields everywhere. High school gets good grades compared to other schools in the state, however, drug use is very high at the high school as weed (Marijuana) is almost as common as corn in New Palestine. Majority of people who live in New Palestine are rather modern and live in decent looking neighborhoods surrounded by nice people. The high school is known best for their 2000-2008 baseball team since they one state one some year in between there. And the Girls Soft Ball team for winning state a few times in a row recently. And Wrestling is a big part of New Palestine after they had a very good coach come throug. Team's did very well having him coach them. Majority of the New Palestine community is White (Caucasian) due to KKK rallies in the early history of New Palestine. After all, the mascot of the high school is the "Dragons"... New Palestine is still "slowly" gaining more of an African American population nowadays although there are still a select few Racists around. New Palestine teenager's used to be heavily influenced by Rap music until the recent 2009-20010 age where teens where getting into Metalcore and music like that and they proceeded to have an increasingly growing population of metalheads, scenes, emos, and hipsters.
Guy 1 "So, New Palestine dominated at sectionals"
Guy 2 "Yeah, it was great. After the game we went and smoked some weed and listened to metalcore."
Guy 1 "Nice."

The capital of Palestine would be Jerusalem. A beautiful area that is probably the most contested city in the entire war. It is an area fought over by Muslims, Chrisitians and Jews. In Jerusalem (the capital of Palestine), their is one of the most holy sites known to Islam, the Dome of the Rock. Which is a mosque believed to have been the place where a prophet descended to heaven. It was built in 705 CE, making it one of the oldest sites in history.
Man 1: Did you ever visit Palestine? What's there?
Man 2: The most beautiful places ever. Including the city, Jerusalem.
Man 1: What's so great about it?
Man 2: There's history, great sites and great Palestinian food like shawarma, falafel and hummus!
Man 1: Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine, here I come!

An area of Bridgeview, Illinois that is mostly inhabited by Arabs who immigrated to the Chicagoland area in the 1980s. Once a place with many Polish and Irish people who eventually moved further west while the Arabs moved in leaving Bridgview and surrounding suburbs as a home for many Arab immigrants. Most of these immigrants come from Palestine and Jordan. Anywhere from 87th-71st street you can expect to find an Arabian family on every corner. They nickname this area "Little Palestine" due to the large amount of Arab immigrants in the area. Nearby towns such as Chicago Ridge, Hickory Hills, Oak Lawn, Palos Hills, etc are home to many arab immigrants as well.
Have you been to the sweet shops in Little Palestine? Its amazing!
