Let's Update State Department Info

Let's correct State Department semantics:

Instead of this dated May 2011:

COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: The State of Israel is a parliamentary democracy with a modern economy. Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem as a result of the 1967 War.

should it not be this:

COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: The State of Israel is a parliamentary democracy with a modern economy. Israel administers Judea, Samaria, Golan Heights, and the newer neighborhoods of Jerusalem as a result of the 1967 War?

How about:

COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: The State of Israel is a parliamentary democracy with a modern economy. As a result of the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel reunited the capital city of Jerusalem and liberated the ancient homeland areas of Judaea, Samaria and the Golan Heights (Bashan).
