The same reason you don’t know where Moldova is. It’s a small area with a ethnicty you’ve never heard of.

Palestine is is something you hear about on the evening news like every other week, so everyone knows what it is.

It's been a consist zone of conflict for the western powers and in the middle east for over 2000 years.

Uh... no? For the most part pre-20th century Palestine was a backwater nobody really cared about (the Crusades being the big exception).
