== Egypt and jordan ==
== The photo of the Israeli "checkpoint" is odd ==

It's hard to say it's a checkpoint it looks like a fence with a bunch of rocks and a couple of soldiers standing on the fence stopping the a few people from claiming over the fence.
I'd assume a checkpoint wouldn't require people claiming over the rocks at right side of the picture.
The photo should be labeled a "a breach in the security wall" or something similar. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 19:50, 12 January 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== West Bank barrier construction started when? ==

The article states without a citation that "In 2000 the Israeli government started to construct the Israeli West Bank barrier, separating Israel and several of its settlements, as well as a significant number of Palestinians, from the remainder of the West Bank." If I understand correctly, the barrier's construction started not before 2002. ] (]) 15:41, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

== IP edits, whats wrong and whats right ==


why Egypt and jordan controled and Israel occupies?
Ghajar is split in half by the Blue Line, with the UN marking the northern half as being in Lebanon and the southern half as being in Syria (see ]). Israel continued to occupy the southern half of the city. The residents, both north and south, say that it is a Syrian village, Lebanon and Syria dont seem to say much about it, and Israrl announced about a year ago it would withdraw from the southern half, though I cannot find any record in my brief search of them actually doing so. A good article to read about Ghajar and how the Blue Line came to divide the village is Kaufman, Asher (2009). "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie": On Ghajar and Other Anomalies in the Syria-Lebanon-Israel Tri-Border Region". Middle East Journal (Middle East Institute) 63 (4). The Shebaa Farms issue is just as complicated. Israel claims that the territory is Syrian and is thus not required to withdraw its forces from the territory as part of its ending its occupation of southern Lebanon. Syria and Lebanon say that the territory is Lebanese, though whether or not this is Syria's official position or if it is just an attempt to remove Israeli forces from the territory is a question that does not have an answer. Hezbollah uses the continued occupation of the Shebaa Farms as justification for continued action against Israel, as the say action against Israel is justified so long as Israel occupies any Lebanese territory. Where the Shebaa Farms actually is wont be decided until a comprehensive border treaty between Syria and Lebanon is signed.<p>So what should the article say? Thats a bit hard to figure out. I think the right way to put this is to spell it out. Say that Ghajar straddles the Blue Line between Lebanon and the Israeli-occupied Golan, and that the Shebaa Farms continues to be occupied by Israel which says it is part of the Syria's Golan while Syria and Lebanon say it part of Lebanon. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">''']''' - 15:49, 30 June 2011 (UTC)</small>

I reverted these edits because I think they produced quite a confused state of affairs including poor formatting. It will be better to thrash something out here and then introduce material on Lebanon. The latter only appears in the table and we need to explain Southern Lebanon's presence there both in the lede and in its own section. The two remaining Lebanese areas seem to arise from a history of confusion over the country's border with Syria and these need to be explained. The status of the two Jordanian areas need to be thrashed out here with reliable sourcing etc.--] (]) 15:53, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
:From the little I remembered about Ghajar and the Shebaa Farms, the issue is as complicated as Nableezy described it (thank you for taking time to write it down). Definitely it has its place in this article, not so sure about the lead. How common is it to count Ghajar and the Shebaa Farms among "the occupied territories"? My cursory impression is that commonly OP refers to West Bank, Gaza and Golan Heights, and that the sources mostly just omit the two smaller areas. --] (]) 18:11, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

::Hmm I'm reading the the NPOV and it says Misplaced Pages should have neutral point of view. I think the term occupied is pretty much the opposite of neutral. Would you not agree that the term occupied suggests there is an occupation which is a seriously(international courts and such) disputed claim ? The name is a blunt example of bias.

:::Yes, Misplaced Pages has a neutral point of view. If you think occupied is the opposite of neutral in this case you are misinformed and perhaps you should consider broadening your reading material. The Supreme Court of Israel has referred to the status of the West Bank as a territory held under belligerent occupation in many of their rulings. That's why it is administered by the IDF. The international community regards it as an occupation and has said so repeatedly. Misplaced Pages follows the reliable sources.

::::Sean, there is no need to insult other editors. There is a natural tension between two meanings of the word ''neutral''. Linquistically, aruablly, the word ''disputed'' is more neutral and less loaded than ''occupied''. However that is not how Misplaced Pages understands the word ''neutral''. Misplaced Pages's understanding of ''neutral'' is to use the terms used by the majority of reliable sources. Clearly, the majority of reliable sources use the word ''occupied'', and thus this term, however biased, is consistent with Misplaced Pages's policies. - ] (]) 03:12, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
