I don't think arbcom just coming out of the blue
and saying - Its more
neutral to have/not have that statement on the cat is going to help
anything, as it will proablly just trigger a lot of "Arbcom doesn't
have the authority to make random rulings/ Be wary of the arbcom
cabal", which would proablly be correct, as arbcom can doesn't do
article issues. I think the sides of this argument (myself included as
I'm against having the disclaimer thingy) are too far apart to reach
an acceptable comprimise. But nonetheless, something needs to be done
to stop this arguing.

I've proposed two things, both of which turned down by the disputor. The
first
one was that anything newsworthy involving people affiliated with
Israel or done by the Israeli government would be categorized as "Israel".
Anything newsworthy involving people affiliated with Palestine or the
Palestine Government Authority or something like that would be categorized
as "Israel". My second compromise was merging the Israel and Palestine
categories/portals to make "Israel and Palestine".

I'm worried we may have a giant flamefest + a mob from wikipedia
on our hands. I don't know how to get a solution all parties agree on,
but we need something quite quickly imo.
