Should this forum be called Israel/Palestine section?

wow, 7 answers that say "there is no Palestine" but yet they scream why no one recognizes Israel! hehe, tit for tat as usual........I actually wrote to YA on this matter, 2 months ago and did not even get a reply back. That makes 8 who are walking around with their eyes closed in this world. (On Yahoo anyway) but it's a good idea to at least have 2 sections. But then what would happen? Palestinians would still come into the Israel section, and Israel would come into the Palestinian section, 2 places to argue our points. In my mind anyway when I see anything that mentions Israel I also think of the Palestinians. Cheers!

If Yahoo Answers have some democracy then yes they should call it Israel/Palestine or make a seperate section called Palestine. I have a lot of questions to ask to the Palestinians but I can rarely find them here so I wont ask those questions.
If they don't want to make Palestine section, they should at least make Jordan section. But YA is not fair.

There are some vile humans that answer on this section- it scares any hope for peace. Of course this should be the Israel/ Palestine section. People may just start to talk in a decent way, stranger things have happened....

Lets be logic, this is not a forum it is just a site meant for Q,A and this section is under travel/middle east/whateverā€¦so they did not design this site to discuss our societies , political conditions....etc although we do that, twisting the site creatorā€™s hand ,, first we have to agree it is to ask and answer question which could interest a person who intend to travel to a certain distention, Is there a site for Sudan, Libya, Guinea, ..etc, obviously no , as there is no heavy tourist traffic to these areas, Now the question: Is there a tourist traffic to Palestine,,, the answer is known, so I do not think anyone is racist here,, we are misusing this site, not them,,,If we want to discuss politics related to where ever, there is a section called politics, and recent events ,,there is also one titled events,, The aim of Yahoo by creating this Q&A is to remove the boarders among people, and to create a global society,,,( I do not here state my view of Israel or Palestine, just trying to calm everyone down)

It should not be called Israel/Palestine. If you want to go back in time, you could rename the section "The British Mandate over Palestine." But then it would have to include Jordan (77.2 percent of the original Palestine, given to the Hashemite king by the British for his help against the Ottoman Turks).

They COULD create a separate section for "The West Bank and Gaza Strip." HOWEVER, since this is a TRAVEL section, created by a US COMPANY, and the US tells citizens NOT TO TRAVEL TO THESE AREAS, I am assuming that this is why there is no catagory for those areas. If the section were "world geography, countries and territories," i would fully support a catagory for these areas.

I think we have to wait until the State of Palestine comes into existence to see Yahoo! considers your wish. Jordan is an independent country, yet there is no section for Jordan. So, how could you expect Yahoo! to create another section for Palestine?

For those who really want to see Palestine section, I suggest you follow paperback's advice, maybe Yahoo! will create a section called West Bank and Gaza Strip or Palestine Territory section even if I doubt they would do so.

Zoser is right; Israel section is actually intended for travel purpose. Yet, many people here "expand" it to a discussion forum for issues of religions and politics which already have their own respective sections.

No.

I'd agree that there should be a forum for Palestinians, and you could petition Yahoo! about this.

But this is Israel forum, because trust me, we Jews and Israelis need a break from you meshuganahs sometimes!

why Canada is so strange ?

they cal live to gathers with peace if they want too

Whoo!

No, it would not. No such thing as Palestine. Sorry, I don't understand what all you guys are talking about w/ this term "Palestine".

israel is not occupying palestine. there is no more palestine. it was never a country, it was a region, and it was split into 2 countries, jordan and israel.
from 48 to 67, the west bank was part of jordan. jordan attacked in 67 and lost the west bank. after the war, jordan said it didn't want it anymore. but the west bank was certainly never an independent arab state or palestine or anything.

it's quite amazing actually how misinformed people are about the history.

Green Light on! Lol, well now that you found out their secret what are we to do with it then, oh the fence is up already, well then just like this fence is up for a reason I am sure. They build fences in the world for a reason, and you know there is no real need for them, unless there is an imbalance of somekind don't you think?

Palistine is Jordan

"Palestine" does not exist, please define it's borders and under whose law? The West Bank used to be Jordanian and the Gaza Strip was Egyptian, Egypt decided not to take back
the Gaza Strip under the Camp David Accords.

EDIT: hopeless - Israel exists, Palestine does not, it's nothing with recognising each other, it's the fact that there is no country called Palestine at the time of wrting. Even the UN says there's only one country in the world that isn't a member and that's Vatican City.

BMCR

No, it wouldn't be logical since there is no independent state called Palestine. In fact, there never was. There was a British colonial entity called Palestine but that ceased to exist in 1948. Whether you consider that fair or proper is irrelevant. That fact is, Israel exists and as of this writing, Palestine does not exist.

Israel is not occupying anything, The country is only Israel. They should not be combined. They should create a separate section for all the people that are hostile towards Israel and are mislead. Israel alone. Yahoo knows what they are doing.

And if. do you really think you wouldn't find Jewish agitators there or deminish the number of Muslims that come here.
You think this is a mix, take a look at R&S.
