Greetings, Do you know of groups (other than the Palestinians) that have decided to use THEIR OWN DST dates, independent of their surrounding country? I am interested in both past and present. I am in discussions right now with a gentleman named Carl D. Goldin, about the observance of Daylight Saving Time in the world. He has pointed out that if I list the Palestinians on a web site about DST, that it is only fair to list other non-country entities. I included information from Amos Shapir in the TZ archive about Palestine. http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/g.html I don't think this has ever com up on the list, and I have skimmed the TZ archives.

1) My objection, and that of the others who wrote you on the subject, is that there is currently no country by the name of "Palestine". So, it is inaccurate (and an offensive political stattement) to include it in your list of "countries", just as it would be to include disputed territories such as the Kashmir, aspiring nations such as the Basque Republic, former nations such as Rhodesia, or unclassifiable entities such as Aryan Nations.
