That's view that me, my country and most other countries disagree with you on to some extent.
That's a legal fact. There is a territory, however, called the Palestinian Authority.
In what way is a territory (according to your country) or a state (according to most of the world) not a "place" as you stated it wasn't?

Are states and territories not places?

It's name is not Palestine. It's name is the Palestinian Authority. The territories names are, according to all agreements I can find, called Gaza and the West Bank. The latter's historical names are Judea and Samaria but since we're wiping out history anyway, might as well bury everything to be found as deep as hell.

Hang on...
Calling it the "State of Palestine", the "Palestinian Authority" or just "Palestine" is totally irrelevant for this topic!
It is akin to pointing out that there is no such place as "America" Just the continents of North and South America or the USA.

Why are you showing such ridiculous pedantism?

Letum - i think it may stem from a deep-seated.... shall we say rivalry between the people who call themselves Israeli and the people who call themselves Palestinians.

back on topic, i think that that link is an exceptionally well put together document - kudos to the man who wrote it!
