Not exactly a vote is needed. A strawpoll to get a general idea of where the
community in general lies, however, is in order.
I'm going to be created a page on Wikinews (a project page) about this whole
debacle where the whole dispute about israel vs palestine will be hosted so
all the discussion will be centralized.

The ArbCom does not and should not rule on content disputes.
You could have a public poll to decide how to address Israel, though I
don't
really like the idea. If you *do* have a public
poll (which would set
policy, I suppose) be certain to require membership in the community for
at
least a two-weeks or a month and a certain
minimum number of edits.
Else, we
will probably be flooded with newcomers...

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".
