The West Bank is fucked. I mean, I can barely follow what's going on right there what with the market crash and Eliot Spitzer's mistress, but I'm sure something is happening there and it's terrible. For one, Jewish settlers in the West Bank were being automatically listed as residents of "Palestine." How dare Facebook project its conception of Israeli-Palestine relations onto to their users' virtual identity? For shame. Now users in major settlement blocs can choose between listed as residents of Israel or Palestine. Apparently, Mark Zuckerberg consulted Dennis Ross on this matter. [Reuters]
