It's in the Middle East. It is located within the state of Israel on it's eastern border. It's right between Israel and Jordan. There is also a piece of Palestine called the Gaza strip which is located on the Mediterranean Sea between Israel and Egypt. Also included within the Palestinian territories is part of Jerusalem (East Jerusalem).

The state of Palestine dates back for thousands of years and has always held roughly the same geographical location as the current state which was formalised after the second world war; if memory serves me correctly the Balfour agreement of 1954 was the last international treaty to determine the boundaries of Israel and Palestine.

The wikipedia articles on the subject appear relatively accurate:

	You can manipulate this map to obtain a more or less detailed idea of the geography. Cool, this is the first use I've found for a map widget ;-).
