	Please comment if you spot any mistakes, want any alternative answers, or think the time needs changing. This comes from an idea which began with my quiz 'A Sporcle Protest' (http://www.sporcle.com/games/joebobs/aprotest) in which skSK commented I'd be better off doing something like this. I think he's right. This is a much better way. Also, I'm aware that a Palestine facts quiz was made by 1447 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/1447/quiz_palestine), however, this one has a different focus and is much larger, so I think it's worth doing again.

	I can see you're still very passionate about this.

	You should probably rename this "Country* quiz: Palestine".

	This is much more playable and should hopefully illicit a less violent reaction than the last one, which will hopefully lead to a more peaceful debate, and more positive attention being paid to the issue.

	I thought Chairman of the PLO was a different post from President of the Palestinian National Authority, although they're usually held by the same person.

	"Prime Minister: Ismail Haniyeh or Salam Fayad (disputed)" Oy. Why no entry for the seat of government? Israel has also proclaimed its capital as Jerusalem, but Tel Aviv is more commonly recognized as the capital.

	Ethnocentric claptrap from a man who refuses to recognise the independent state of CAMORTHIA (Hail Camorthia) - "We're happier than a man from Bhutan". I am commenting but not playing as is my right on this site. I have chosen not to play as I fail to see why I should acknowledge another "state" when mine goes ignored.

	Oh, and if you intended this as a more rounded quiz to shift attention from the previous incarnation, then it's always a good idea to not link back. Otherwise it just becomes an extension of the previous attempt to politicise these boards.

	I agree this is a better way to protest. And if these peace talks come to anything you may not have to protest at all.

	@ Jam1: We can only hope so! But the Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has said he doesn't expect results within a generation, which doesn't bode well. :( @ Grenadino: This is verging on spam. If you have legitimate comments, fine. Your comments on the other quiz, whilst not very sensible, were not unwarranted, so that's fine. This is a pretty straightforward, legitimate quiz, so please keep comments constructive.

	@ mbc: I wasn't aware of that. Do you have a source? The sources I looked at suggested that was the proper title, and that 'President' was an unofficial title. @ brittain33: I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. The status of Israel's capital isn't entirely relevant to this quiz.

	Grenadino:	Sep 10th, 2010 at 20:44 GMT	3 points
	Spam? I'm not the one claiming facts about my state (Hail Camorthia) that aren't in fact facts. "The exact number of countries offering recognition is unknown, with different figures being given by various sources" means your facts are in fact someone's best guess. Even your sources are "mainly" something with your own bits added, I presume. The Spam would be the two quizzes you have now devoted to this issue when you should be standing outside the UN crying your heart out.

	Palestine is not a country for cheese sake I thought we agreed on this. You've been cnyb'ed. Laters
