Angry Was anyone else disappointed with the lack of a playable Palestinian civilization?

I mean, seriously, what in hell's name were Firaxis thinking when they decided to ditch a playable Palestine faction in the last minute? They had everything prepared - Yasser Arafat as the leader, the Suicide Bomber as the unique unit, the Schoolyard Recruitment Ground unique building. A full city list, play style, and unique ability (the ability to still be able to be in the game once you've lost all your cities, at the cost of not ever being able to negotiate peace with another civ).

Honestly, this was the civ I was most looking forward to, and I know many of you were to!

So, who's with me?

Wow. Talking about a post entirely and maliciously intended to start a flame war. This is it. Let's see if anyone bites.
