When were the cards played wrong? When the Israeli settlers encroached on their territory, or when they were conquered by the Ottomans, or under British Mandate?

#4Will it do Bouvet Island? That's usually my test on how mindless a system is since there's so few possibilities where it is a desired choice but often shows up anyway because of GIGO. If Bouvet Island shows up but Palestine doesn't, that smells of manual intervention.

When their terrorist de-facto government had headquarters under a hospital. It’s really quite recent.
One could argue the people were suppressed all along. But there is no obvious distinction between a Palestinian and a rebel, because an environment like that justifiably breeds rebels.

This is the hospital where the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs tweeted a video purportedly from a nurse who worked there, only to delete it a day later after it was widely derided as staged, right?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleged_military_use_of_al-Shi... goes into quite a bit of detail about that allegation, and the lack of solid, independent verification.
But hey, I'm from a country whose military repeatedly bombed a Médecins Sans Frontières hospital "to defend U.S. forces on the ground", even after being given explicit notice and "Médecins Sans Frontières said no Taliban fighters were in the compound", so who am I to judge what's a war crime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunduz_hospital_airstrike . A weregild of $6,000 per death ought to be enough, right? Patriotism needs no evidence.

Yes, it does. I used the ISO-3166-1 code list (source: https://github.com/wooorm/iso-3166/blob/main/1.js) as a reference, and Copilot auto-completed every other country.
