Geographers refer to Mesopotamia as the "Fertile Crescent" due to its rich, arable land that stretches in a crescent shape from the eastern Mediterranean through the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This region's fertile soil, resulting from annual flooding and sediment deposition, made it one of the earliest areas for agriculture and the development of human civilization. The abundance of resources in the Fertile Crescent supported the growth of cities and complex societies, marking it as a crucial center for early human innovation and culture.
The term is often used to refer to Mesopotamia, in what is now Iraq. However, contemporaneous civilizations existed in Egypt and in the Levant (Mediterranean Middle East), and in the Indus Valley of southern Asia.
Geographers will often use the term 'Eurasia' when referring to Europe and Asia as one continent, as they would use 'The Americas' to refer to both North and South America. In many ways, using the term 'Eurasia' simplifies things, as countries like Russia and Turkey are split into both Asia and Europe.
Americans refer to this as the Fertile crescent. -I have never heard this term in the Middle East.

The term "War on Palestine" is nebulous. Does it refer to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict as a whole? Does it refer to Operation Cast Lead? Does it refer to Operation Pillar of Smoke? Does it refer to the Separation Fence? Does it refer to the military occupation of the West Bank? Does it refer to Arab countries holing Palestinians up in refugee camps for three generations? Does it refer to Lebanese military incursions into Palestinian Refugee Camps in Lebanon? Does it refer to how Palestinian passports and visas are not seen as legitimate pieces of paper? Unless the term "War on Palestine" can be defined, we cannot begin a discussion. Additionally, the word "legitimate" is almost as nebulous as it can refer to moral right, legal right, classification procedures, and numerous other things.
Mesopotamia contains the fertile river systems of the Tigris and Euphrates which supported early agriculture and so the civilisations which grew up there. The Crescent also includes Syria-Lebanon, which made it into a 'crescent' shape.
