Even Time is Disputed or, Cuckoo About Clocks

If they can't tell time right, how can they make peace?

West Bank and Gaza in different time zones


Gaza ended daylight savings time at midnight on Friday, and the West Bank [Judea and Samaria] will change its clocks back one hour on Monday 1 September.

Even though only three days separate the time change in the two territories, (On Saturday it will be three o'clock in the West Bank and two o'clock in
Gaza) the difference is disturbing Palestinian citizens.

...The decisions on when to end daylight savings time came from the de facto government in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority caretaker government for the West Bank [Judea and Samaria] respectively.

One university student in Gaza noted that, in terms of time, Gaza and the West Bank [Judera and Samaria] are as far away from each other as Saudi Arabia and Morocco, "and that is nonsense," she said.


Nonsense is right. Downright silly.
