Map

I'm surprised this is the first discussion topic posted here! I've made a couple of maps - which do people like best?

File:BetterPlace-map-numbers.png

On viewing the images at this size, the circles one is obviously clearer, but any other suggestions? -- Chuq (talk) 00:40, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's clearer with the circles but I'm not convinced that a map is necessary or appropriate for this article. Dino246 (talk) 11:20, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Settlement controversy

The Electronic Intifada website has published an article stating that "Former World Bank president and Middle East Quartet envoy James D. Wolfensohn is an investor in an Israeli company that is developing transport infrastructure for Jewish-only settlements built in the occupied West Bank in violation of international law". It also points to the company's ties with the Israeli military (CEO former general Moshe Kaplinsky commanded Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank during the second Palestinian intifada, and was also deputy chief of staff of Israel's army during its 2006 war on Lebanon) and alleges that "its principal officers express an explicitly anti-Muslim and anti-Arab agenda." Finally, it claims that Better Place is part of an Israeli international campaign to "soften Israel's image" and "greenwash settlements", which will enjoy Better Place's technology, which will be denied to the rest of the West Bank. EI I think this is relevant information that should be included.Froy1100 (talk) 01:45, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
