You literally just contradicted yourself. You said "the State of Palestine", and a state doesn't necessarily mean it's a country. The title says "Countries" in it

Great to see 'Palestine' described as Palestinian Territories like they really are - rather than as a country which they aren't. Although I would prefer it if they were just included as Israeli territory.

conservatopia (the name says it all, by the way): I'm sure the government, army, and most of the people of Israel would prefer that too.

Why? Just because you want something to be a country doesn't make it a country.

just because this site considers taiwan a country (only recognized by 20 official states) and not palestine (recognized by 136) doesn't mean taiwan is actually a country. it's just a matter of political preference

Arguments about it being a country aside; how can Palestine border the Mediterranean if it is surrounded by Israel?

If the quiz is called "coutries bordering Mediterranean Sea" Palestine shouldn't be in it. Might as well add Gibraltar

I don't think his point was geographic (obviously, the Gaza Strip borders the Mediterranean), but political, as Palestine is not a country.

Palestine is not a country. Even if you are to list it, "Palestinian Territories" is not the official name. Instead, it would be "State of Palestine".

Oh, Palestine exists alright. It is called Jordan. There is no such thing as 'Jordanian Arabs'- they are Palestinian Arabs. The Palestinian Arabs have a homeland. Across the Jordan. Not within Israel.
Therefore Palestine does not border the Mediterranean Sea and should not be on this list.

It's a tiny little sliver. When you drive along the West coast of Croatia you have to pass through it. I'm not sure what the deal with it is, it may have been a concession in a peace treaty

There seems to be a mistake. The quiz is called "Countries Bordering the Mediterranean - Map Quiz," and yet "Palestinian Territories" is not a country.

The Palestinian homeland is in West Bank and Gaza (which does touch the Mediterranean. Just because Israel illegally occupies part of its territory doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Also trying to say 'Jordanian Arabs' don't exist because they are all Palestinian is a complete nonsense.

Umm... why don't you just go off and do some research into the geopolitical and ethnic backgrounds to the Middle East.... I think you'll find that Jordanians ARE Palestinians.
After WW1, the British and French divided the Middle East along the Syke-Picot line, and created 'protectorates' of the newly-created states. Britain took Iraq, the Arabian Peninsula states, and Palestine. The Sykes-Picot agreement however divided the Ottoman vilayets of Syria, Jerusalem and Beirut (an area commonly known as Palestine). This meant that a new state named Transjordan (eg. beyond the Jordan) was created, and the rest of the three provinces were divided between Syria and a state named 'Palestine', which comprised the land that was clearly intended for the Zionist movement.

Palestine is the Arab name for the land between Sinai, the Arabian Desert, Syria, and the Mediterranean Sea. So all the Arabs living in that area are Palestinian Arabs, and this area includes Jordan. Do your research.

Even if "Palestinian territories" is somehow considered a country (which it isn't on this site), it doesn't border the sea.

Shouldn't the UK be in this list because of Gibraltar? Also what about Portugal?
