    Israel isn't a country.
    I think you may find it is and I think he would know it is as he lives there.
    Yes it's definitely a country  I think you'll find that you might be thinking Palestine or however it's spelt as a territory or whatever in the country.Israel is a most definitely a country has it's own Government and Prime Minister just as we do and it's own Football team and such again just as we do. So it has everything to be considered a country even has it's own flag and national anthem.
    So Tahiti and Niue are countries too. Both have flags, teams and anthems
    Never heard of Niue but yes Tahiti is a country I believe


    For all intents and purposes, Tahiti is
    basically autonomous but is not an independent country, rather it's an 'overseas country' of France, and officially speaking, is part of France. Whether Tahitians (or formally, French Polynesians) actually identify as French is a different story.

    Israel, on the other hand, is recognised as a country by 160 UN members. The only countries that do not recognise Israel are the Arab states, states which are predominantly Islamic (with the exception of Egypt) and weirdly enough, Cuba and North Korea. The origins of this are traced back to 50's, 60's and World War II and are too complicated to even type.

    Why there isn't an Israeli flag in the game is probably down to politics and not upsetting countries that do not recognise it, which are very sensitive to the issue.

    Quoting's broken.

  2. He's not that bad.
