Although we cannot avoid politics entirely, we should strive to avoid as much as possible in tzdb. For example, tzdb should not take any position on Israel vs Palestine, North Korea vs South Korea, or Canada vs the United States. It's not our job to address such disputes and it would be a waste of our limited resources if the disputes got in the way of our job.
Its convenient to frame Palestine in this manner, but if you truly wish to remove your own politics from the db, the politics of the Palestinians themselves should be the deciding factor here.
