General Information:
Palestine is located in the Middle East, It is bordered by the countries of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan Egypt and Israel. In 1948 Israel occupied part of Jerusalem and Palestine, whilst in 1967 Israel occupied the rest. Palestine nowadays consists of the West Bank and Gaza, however many Palestinians live in Israel and Jerusalem under occupation.
Israel has massacred many Palestinians and forced many others to leave their homeland, but there are also those who left of their own volition hoping for Israel's demise. (Note that the Palestinians were not innocent lambs in all of this, massacring the indigenous people and cut off women and children's heads in Hebron.) However you count it, Palestinian people are the highest number of refugees in the world. This makes it difficult to accurately count where Palestinians are and put it on a map. However, UNRWA, a UN agency which runs a number of the Palestinian Refugee Camps has a map which can be accessed through the link below.
As concerns the Refugee Population:
The majority of the refugees in Jordan hold Jordanian citizenship and have integrated themselves into the country's economic and social life.
The Palestinian refugees in Lebanon mostly live in one of 12 refugee camps. Palestinian refugees in Lebanon face many problems. They are not allowed government jobs. They do not have social or civil rights, and they have very limited access to the government's public health and educational facilities. Palestinian refuges in Lebanon are denied access to public social services. The majority rely entirely on UNRWA as the sole provider of education, health and relief and social services. Considered as foreigners, Palestinian refugees are prohibited by law from working in over 70 trades and professions.
Lebanon's discriminatory practices against Palestinians violate international human rights law and according to a 2003 Amnesty International Report, they are in violation of obligations under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; the International Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
About half of the Palestinian refugees in Syria live in one of 12 refugee camps. The refugees in Syria enjoy employment and education rights, and the government helps maintain the camps. They are denied citizenship but have the same social welfare rights as Syrians. Palestinian refugees in Syria are however subjected to strict political control.
Palestinian refugees who move to the West Bank and Gaza Strip are granted Palestinian citizenship and are treated equally with those Palestinians who were living there before the 1967 war (when this area passed from Jordanian control to Israeli Control before coming under the Palestinian Authority when it was created).
Palestinians who live Israel as Israeli citizens have full democratic rights and have political parties in the Knesset (Parliament), have high ranking officers in the army and are among the judges in the Israeli Supreme Court.

Where is palestine on a map of the roman empire?
Palestine was in the same place as it is now, on the east coast of the Mediterranean, south of present day Lebanon (it was called Phoenicia back then) and Syria, and west of present day Jordan (it was called Nabataea back then). It was the Roman province of Judaea (this was the Latin spelling).
Why did the UN fail to create a Palestinian state in the late 1940s?
Answer 1The UN partition plan of 1947 offered Palestinians 45 percent of the land; Palestinians rejected that offer too and six Arab countries.Answer 2The phrasing of the question misconstrues the authority of the United Nations Resolution 181. Most people incorrectly believe that the UN Resolution "created" a Jewish State (Israel) and an Arab State (Palestine) on the map. This is not the case. What the UN Resolution does provide for is the permission for the different ethno-religious groups in Mandatory Palestine to declare a state. In the case of most mandates, the understanding was that the mandate would eventually become independent as one new state, like Iraq or Syria had. The case of a Palestine was therefore unique and needed the permission to deviate from the traditional path of independence. Because of their being two states, provisional borders had to be provided, which is why a map was used, but those borders would only come into play if both sides decided to remain at peace.The Jews acted on the permission granted to them by UN Resolution 181 by declaring independence on May 14, 1948 (nearly six months after the Resolution was passed) and therefore creating the State of Israel. The Arabs, believing that they could wipe Israel off of the map, delayed the declaration of an independent Arab State (Palestine) until "victory" in the war. Therefore, the boundaries of the Arab State would be the entire territory. Unfortunately for the Palestinians not only did the Arabs lose the war, but other Arab nations occupied what little of Palestine remained. This effectively prevented the declaration of a Palestinian State. The Palestinian Authority finally declared the Palestinian State in absentia in 1988, in-keeping with the permission granted by UN Resolution 181. Understandably, since this was after several wars and conflicts, the borders instituted by the UN Resolution were no longer viable, but the right for two states to declare independence was not in any way quashed.
When did Palestine take over Israel?
Israel did not invade Palestine per se. There were Jewish communities living in the land of Historic Palestine before the creation of the state of Israel. The mistake they did was to create a state exclusively for them and they denied the right of other groups (Muslims and Christians) to live on the land; the same groups who were their neighbors for hundreds of years.
Who gave the Gazans rockets and to what end?
The Gazans, as are all Palestinians, have unfortunately been reduced to pawns in the Islamic World's attempts to remove Israel from the map. Gaza has primarily received rockets from Iran to launch a proxy war with Israel and help solidify Iranian power in the region. This has little if any connection to gas prices as there is no petroleum in the Levant Region.
Did the UN vote for Israel as a nation?
The question as posed is rather convoluted. I want to say "YES" to the "essence" of the question, i.e. the UN did take a vote integral to Israel becoming a country, but I have to say "NO" since the UN did not actually vote Israel into existence. The UN voted (affirmatively) on the legitimacy of the Jews of Palestine declaring independence as a state distinct from the more numerous Arabs of Palestine. This vote legitimized the Israeli Declaration of Independence, but did not cause it. Most people incorrectly believe when the UN passed UNGA Resolution 181 (II) on November 29, 1947, that the UN "created" a Jewish State (Israel) and an Arab State (Palestine) on the map. This is not the case. What the UN Resolution does provide for is the permission for the different ethno-religious groups in Mandatory Palestine to declare a state. In the case of most mandates, the understanding was that the mandate would eventually become independent as one new state, like Iraq or Syria had. The case of Palestine was therefore unique and needed the permission to deviate from the traditional path of independence. Because of there being two states, provisional borders had to be provided, which is why a map was used, but those borders would only come into play if both sides decided to remain at peace. The Jews acted on the permission granted to them by UN Resolution 181 by declaring independence on May 14, 1948 (nearly six months after the Resolution was passed) and therefore creating the State of Israel.
Did Israel have Gaza first?
The map (see link below) shows a country called Palestine. Some Jews invaded in 1948 and changed the name to Israel. They took more and more land until there was just a small area called Gaza for the surviving Palestinians to live in. Israel didn't have Gaza first, Palestine had Palestine first.
What are the Significant places of life of Jesus in the map of palestine?
no
What are the Israelis and Palestinians fighting for?
They're not fighting over religion. Religion has nothing to do with it. They're basically fighting over land. The Jews literally came into Palestine and "threw out" the Palestinians because they needed a place to live. So now Palestinians are trying to fight back because they want their land back. The Jews had no right to take their land away from them.
How much land have the Palestinians lost to the Israel's?
Most of what they gained in 1948, when the UN drew up the map but the "Palestinians" rejected the whole notion of partition and attacked Israel.

Why is there no Palestine on the map today?
The British Mandate of Palestine was disolved and the independent State of Israel was founded on 78% of that land in 1948, with the remaining 22% under Jordanian and Egyptian occupation. The disappearance of Palestine in 1948 is no different that the disappearance of Rhodesia, New Grenada, and numerous other territories that were given names by colonists that the local inhabitants rejected. However, there is currently a State of Palestine which has de jure control of the Gaza Strip (as of 1993) and some bantustans in the West Bank (as of 2000). This Palestine should be on your map.
