> Palestine isn't developing

"developing" in this context is a synonym (perhaps more specifically, a euphemism) for "less developed".

> and it's not a nation either.

Palestine is absolutely a nation (it's also an increasingly widely recognized state, though with disputed borders, but that's independent of it being, or not being, a nation.)

If you care so much about being on topic, please keep politics out of this discussion.

I was wondering what the OP means by Palestine, is it Israel or Jordan. Both aren't developing countries and both has very successful startup scene. Anyways, if you see it as off-topic I will delete my comments and apologize.

I don't know why are you being so negative about it.

It's recognized by most countries in the World. If you love Apartheid, then good for you, but don't bring your off topic political stance here.

Apartheid: When you occupy/hold power for decades in a territory and you don't give the same rights (such as voting) to about 50% of the population.

Are we talking about the west bank? They have voting right. Both HAMAS and Abas were elected democratically. Keeping saying Apartheid over and over doesn't make it true.

Anyways, hopefully we will see a better age soon and people will live harmony or TAIUSH in arabic.
