I don't think this is the correct zone.tab human-readable description for Asia/Hebron -- Hebron is just one city in the zone. The proper description to use is unfortunately politically fraught, but I think the most-common neutral English-language description is "West Bank". (This is the name Wikipedia uses for the region, for instance.) Similarly, the region for Asia/Gaza is more commonly "Gaza Strip" in English, as it is in Wikipedia (Gaza being the largest city in the Gaza Strip). -- Jonathan Lennox lennox@cs.columbia.edu
