which cats to include this in[edit]

Clearly the "in Israel" cat does not belong as there is not one single Israeli settlement that is "in Israel". By definition, Israeli settlements are outside of Israel in the territory it either occupies or occupied. I think a category for Israeli-occupied territories makes the most sense as some of the settlements are in the Palestinian territories, and some in the Golan. Also, the cat includes settlements that were dismantled such as those in Sinai and Gaza. The only term that includes all of these places but excludes none of them is "populated places in the Israeli-occupied territories". nableezy - 03:06, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
