Palestine is a name given to the region in which Israel currently has governing authority. It was recognized by the romans, and other occupying governments before that.

This is true enough; and Israel (and the US) are pushing for the Palestinian aurhority to have elections for a new leadership. The current Palestinian authority was actually enabled by Israel in the early 80's (1984?) and given weapons (by Israel) to allow the Palestinian people self-governance within Israel's territory, and perhaps have their own land at a later time. This didn't go so well (obviously). Anyone in favor of Palestinians having their own land should not stop being angry at Israel, but should push for a strong government to further their interests. In this case, politics is everything and terrorism is bad politics.3) Israel is the only one democratic country in middle east where catholics, muslems, jewish, can leave together instead of yours where jewish, catholics, are killed as in Islamic Republic of Soudan, Irak, Syria, etc.
Also worth noting is that I don't believe most Palestinians or Israelies care if they do or don't have their own land, but simply their own government to represent their interests, the ability to move freely within the land (no more checkpoints) and the ability to work and live a 'free' life. You have to choose your goals properly (much like SQL design) before taking the first steps. If self-governance is a goal, get good leaders.
