Category talk:Geography of Jerusalem


 * The problem is that all of the city is currently being ruled by Israel, whereas only the Eastern part is claimed by the Palestinians (with UN approval etc.). Hence it's incorrect to place this category in Category:Geography of the Palestinian territories. You might get more approval if you tried this with Category:East Jerusalem, which is already in Category:West Bank. But that's also problematic: what is Palestinian territories? Zone A, B, C?

 * That is why we should keep it listed under both categories, Category:Geography of Israel and Category:Geography of the Palestinian territories. Also, there are deletion discussions going on concerning Category:East Jerusalem. So this goes round and round. I think it is simpler to list it under multiple categories. --Timeshifter 13:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

 * The Arab population is clustered in the north, east and south. Today, Jerusalem remains a bone of contention in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem (captured in the 1967 Six-Day War) has been particularly controversial, as Palestinians view this part of the city as the capital of a future Palestinian state.[10][11] The status of a "united Jerusalem" as Israel's "eternal capital"[12][13] has not been officially recognized by most of the international community, and nearly all countries maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv.[14]


 * See the above article quote. Jerusalem needs to be listed under both, or neither, categories of Category:Geography of Israel and Category:Geography of the Palestinian territories. --Timeshifter 20:09, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
