If Palestine isn't a country, then what is it, exactly? A Bantustan?

[andrewducker]

Legally, at the moment, part of Israel.

Israeli law or international law? If it's the first but not the second, then it could be a Bantustan.

The International Law bit is the part that there's no agreement on, because the UN hasn't accepted the existence of a Palestinian State.
