For the love of god - I click on several things at once, so they open in other tabs, and then I come back to the others. STOP MAKING THE TIME START AUTOMATICALLY! All quizzes should not have the timer start until I click on something to start the quiz. I hate going back to a page and seeing that my score is zero, because you decided to make a quiz start by itself. How hard is it to be consistent on all of your quizzes?

Why not? It's got a long history of being tied to these other countries.

It’s got a long history of being tied with Europe; doesn’t mean it’s part of it

^ up for debate. But even if it wasn't, not a relevant comment. The Middle East is not a continent. The countries we conceive of as being part of it are there because of their geography as well as their cultural, historical, geopolitical and other ties.

Level 75

Jun 5, 2020

The ME is a region, not a continent. It may include countries from different continents, just like Latin America includes countries from both Americas and excludes others. The region is defined by political and ethno-religious historical ties. MENA is another example, which adds the rest of North Africa to the Middle East.

Level 60

Feb 23, 2020

I'm just gonna say, not trying to cause arguments or anything but most world maps have the centre like the world countries quiz on here so from that perspective it is in the middle of the map but on the eastern side of the map so from that view it is the Middle East.

Most of the countries in the world recognise Palestine as a sovereign nation, So there is.

It isn't fully recognized, and the Quiz doesn't make such a claim. It says "territories".

To anyone commenting about this remember that the Middle East isn’t a continent so Egypt can be included.

Level 35

Jul 5, 2020

jeez, everyone's getting so angry about the inclusion of palestine! but first of all, there is nothing in this quiz that SAYS palestine is a country (it literally says palestinian TERRITORIES), and also, just because it doesnt have official status as a country doesn't mean that it's not middle eastern. like, french guiana isn't a country, but it's still on the south american map quiz, right? because it's part of south america!! anyways rant over, y'all need to calm down. -_-

Have you read through the comments? As of now Palestine holds that area. QM isn't saying its a country, he calls it Palestinian Territories, but for crying out loud, this is a MAP quiz. He can include whatever he wants as long as he can back it up.

No on inclusion of Palestine which is Israel. Israel has included Palestine as part of the country which was promised in these last days.

Level 63

Apr 25, 2021

They aren't saying Palestine is a country. It isn't recognized. But this is a MAP quiz, not a COUNTRIES OF THE MIDDLE EAST QUIZ. And as of now, Palestine owns that area.

Level 38

there are 17 option but only 16 countries. palestine is not a country

Comments that say Palestine is a country are considered political and get deleted, but comments that say Palestine is not a country are considered apolitical and get to stay.

That is not all, but if I elaborate, the chances this comment gets deleted go up to 100%.

To quote a deleted comment by Jerry928, formerly one of the most liked comments on the whole site:

"There's nothing political about accepting reality, and the reality is that Palestine is recognised as a country by most (137 of 196; 70%) of the world's countries. That recognition level is far greater than Kosovo (108) or Taiwan (23). It also has UN observer status, which is the same UN status as Vatican City, unlike Kosovo and Taiwan, which have no UN status at all."

It had 120 likes. Now that it's deleted, many of the most liked comments are anti-Palestine, sometimes viciously so. Reading these comments gives a vastly skewed view of what this site's users actually overwhelmingly believe.

Level 25

Hmmm, gee, I wonder why that may be. I wonder who has an interest in denouncing Palestine to then, presumably, uplift Israel? Hmmmmmmm......

Level 40

Mar 15, 2023

Like free Palistine . . . from the river to the sea, instead of . . . from Hamas?

btw a lot of people believe . . . lies

aka spread hate.

What is anti-Palestine, viciously so, is using them, sacrificing them because you want to kill Jews.

For the last time, everyone, Egypt is apart of the Middle East. It's considered to be apart of it because of their Language, (Which is Arabic) and because Egypt is apart of the Arab League.

Level 22

Sep 3, 2022

Usually the main religion is Islam.

Level 54

Oct 7, 2022

Palestine is not a country

Level 65

Oct 24, 2022

Regarding to the recognition of the UNO, which makes authority in these cases, Palestine is recognized as a country on its own since 2012, even though it isn't ranked as a member, but as a observator non-member, has the same status than Vatican, and then Cook Islands and Niue are in the same category. It depends on who you're looking at, UNO or Jetpunk, and in some cases as Palestine or Taiwan, the answer may be different.

The only thing I wanted to say before reading comments: It's now time to change... Turkey to Turkiye (at least in both orthographs).

Level 22

May 29, 2024

Actually, Palestine should be marked as black because it's unrecognized in some nations.

Level 44

Jun 16, 2024

So are Taiwan (only recognised by 14 countries and not a UN member) and Kosovo (only recognised by 97 countries and also not a UN member), whereas Palestine is recognised by 144 UN members and has non-member observer state status (the same status held by Vatican City). So why is it these countries are recognised but Palestine shouldn't be?

Level 48

Jul 8, 2024

Because they have a bias towards isnotreal
