Because it isn't a nation. It never has been. This is confusing, I know, but "Palestine" is called that by the people who live there because it is part of the last legitimate name used by a nation that controlled the region to identify it. The UK controlled the Mandatory of Palestine from 1920 to 1948. The region was carved up after WW2 and a nation was made for the Jews and a separate region (not a state) for the Arabic people. UN directive 181 gave the Jews the legitimacy to declare their area, Israel, a sovereign nation. The nonJews of the region never followed suit.

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.
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).

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.
