Click on ‘Israel’, and what you see is this: 

Yes, that jaded old Sam Bahour article from July 2011 is still at the top of the page. 

Click on ‘Palestinian Territories’, and – uniquely among all the countries listed – one is taken away from ‘Comment is Free’ to the ‘World News’ section of the Guardian website. 

There you see is this:
