Yet it is a UN vote that you site as the reason for your decision. Boycot the 100+ nations thatvoted for Palestine’s new status, not the website that is merely following protocol.Colmar: Sporcle needs to wait until a nation is a MEMBER STATE of the UN, or has recognition of the security council, but has not applied for full statehood (a la Vatican City) to be recognised as an official nation. Palestine (Arabic: فلسطين ‎ Filasṭīn, Falasṭīn, Filisṭīn; Greek: Παλαιστίνη, Palaistinē; Latin: Palaestina; Hebrew: פלשתינה ‎ Palestina) is a geographic region in Western Asia usually considered to include Israel, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and in some definitions, parts of western Jordan.. The Arab League and Organization of the Islamic Conference officially recognized Palestine and it was accorded membership in both forums.Since 1989, representatives of the PLO have been attempting to gain membership into several agencies connected to the UN. Today, Palestine is governed by Israel, and while this may impede its ability to govern and control itself, this does not dismiss the UN’s decision to grant Palestine a UN non-member observer status. While if it were up to me alone, Palestine, the Vatican, or Taiwan are not a legal country, I am not the arbiter of such things (which is a good thing for everyone, of course!) The other conventions were ratified in 2014 when negotiations with Israel hit a stalemate.All maps, graphics, flags, photos and original descriptions © 2020 worldatlas.com Sharpe, 1997, Boyle, Francis A.

After the accession of the UNESCO conventions in 2011 and 2012, Palestine became a member of UNESCO.
Don’t rely on the UN to be the authority in this matter because the OIC, the 57 member Organization of Islamic Countries, can get a resolution passed in the General Assembly that the earth is flat. For the same reason that the Vatican is included, I feel that Palestine should be included as well.

Have I missed something?

Are other non-countries also to be admitted?

[ September 2, 2020 ] The Montevideo Definition of statehood says (according to Wikipedia): “The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states.”Palestine has a permanent population, but no defined territory.
I have my own strong political views, but I don’t see how they belong here, and are not related to my position that Palestine should not feature in Sporcle quizzes. I am seriously considering ending my using Sporcle even though I enjoy it immensely.I had hoped this wouldn’t degenerate into tedious old political polemics, but of course it has. Simple.I like my quiz and trivia sites to be factually correctWell, the problem here is that there is no internationally agreed clear cut definition of what constitutes a state.

Like the others is has no fixed borders, currency, single government, or legal foundation. Third, it would eliminate a gap because we would finally have a world capital beginning with the letter E, and I’m sure creative Sporclers will take advantage of that.Palestine’s UN application, specifying their capital:I find it funny that people support Israel and then reject Palestine despite the fact that Israel was created by the UN and they have got more land then was given to them by the UN.Just today Israel defending it’s borders from attacksHey everyone. The Vatican City Is a Country England … Upon capturing the country, Britain mandated over Palestine until 1948. Politics aside, this was a pretty big deal at Sporcle as suddenly and without much warning Palestine met our criteria for what we consider a country.When the UN voted to award it non-member observer state status, Sporcle suddenly had an interesting decision. And you probably haven’t read the explanation by Sporcle. Educate yourself.David, you’re a racist!

Anyway, I believe Sporcle is right in adding Palestine to the quizzes on the site.Sounds great! Nobody’s policies are really promoting peace in the region. Also, replace the word “occupation” with “blockade” then you have the same situation. Today, the politically defined region comprises the states of Modern archaeology has identified 12 ancient inscriptions from Egyptian and Assyrian records recording likely cognates of Hebrew The first clear use of the term Palestine to refer to the entire area between The term is generally accepted to be a translation of the Biblical name The Septuagint instead used the term "allophuloi" (άλλόφυλοι, "other nations") throughout the Books of Judges and Samuel,Some other terms that have been used to refer to all or part of this land include The region was among the earliest in the world to see human habitation, agricultural communities and During the Iron Age the Israelites established two related kingdoms, The region became part of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from c. 740 BCE,The majority of the population was Christian and was to remain so until the conquest of Saladin in 1187. your first point seems to regard that the name is a misnomer – but that does not stop us from accepting all the “Democratic” countries in the world. Or to quote Golda Meir:‘Only when the Arabs have learnt to love their own children more than they hate ours will there be peace’If you read the actual facts and not the propaganda. ‘Vote for me or die’.If you refuse to recognize Palestine? Yes, technically, it is.
