I don't have a problem with POV, but I do with detailed listings of each incident and casualty. There is violence against Israelis. An encyclopedia article would present the statistics, perhaps several examples, but not extensive lists. Corresponding lists of Palestinian grievances are also inappropriate, although I do think articles about Israeli locations should include information regarding previous names of the place.
If we start including previous names, we'll start having the same headaches we have in those Eastern Europe articles. There should be some kind of standard for deciding those issues, and probably is, but we don't need another set of authors failing to follow it.
