Original Note:
Palestine was the name of the British Mandate territory from 1920-1948, and before then described the entire region now controlled by Israel and the PNA since Herodotus c.500 BC. This is distinct from the Palestinian state, which only came into formal existence in 1993. https://web.archive.org/web/20110725184107/http://cojs.org/cojswiki/When_Palestine_Meant_Israel%2C_David_Jacobson%2C_BAR_27%3A03%2C_May/Jun_2001. https://archive.org/details/PalestineTerminationOfTheMandate15thMay1948 https://web.archive.org/web/20021115183950/http://knesset.gov.il/process/docs/oslo_eng.htm
