I'm still siding with finding a better source that is neutral to all, however ""region of Palestine"" is heading, if albeit inching, towards a possible consensus, although I would still prefer it to say ""region historically known as Palestine""...since it is a clarification of an undisputable fact... Anyhow nothing is set in stone and I'm open to additional constructive suggestions.

In regards to Ashley Y's comment immediately before mine, are you opposed to using the term ""region of Palestine""?  Its hard to acertain a position from your most recent comment, except that you are basically saying it misrepresents the source because its not following the ""cultural context of the source""??  Where as previously you had said:

A related dish from the region of Palestine and Jordan is laban ma' hummus (""yogurt and chickpeas"") which uses yogurt in the place of tahini and butter in the place of olive oil. 
This doesn't misrepresent the source, and clarifies that Palestine is not a country. —Ashley Y
