Talk:Samaria

- , which is currently under Israeli military occupation.
I think the West Bank article explains the control vs. occupation thing well enough. Not every mention of these disputed territories has to call them "occupied", any more than Tibet has to be called "occupied by China". See occupied territory.

[edit] South Korean movie named Samaria implies a very pure sense to the word

It's about an amateur prostitute that is in High School. She and her friend are seeking enough cash to travel abroad, but there is a very major price to be paid to avoid being caught in what could be considered a very puritanical country. Sorry to take you guys off topic, but this movie has some very high impact images in it.
[edit] US official view
The previous article was unsure, though that really seems irrelvant to this article. The official US position is to sit on the fence and wait for a final-status agreement to be reached by Israelis and Palestinians. Official US policy has never recognized Israeli sovreignty in Samaria, but has reluctantly tolerated the establishing of Jewish settlements with a very watchful eye.

[edit] merge Samaria/Sebastia
Merge - though this large section about the city/ruins of Sebastia in this article needs major cleanup. --Shuki 20:07, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure if merging would be accurate, because though Sebastia is next to Samaria (site), one is a village, and one is an archaelogical/national park. One is Area B and run by the Palestinian Authority, and one is Area C and run by Israel. TewfikTalk 21:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
If the article is written properly and clearly, confusion arising out of this will be avoided. The way I see it in general without getting POV: Samaria is a region, but also the ancient city Samaria, Hebrew:Shomron, Greek:Sebaste. Sebastia is also a nearby Palestinian hamlet (I linked to on the article). I don't know if a seperate disambiguation article would do, or a 'other article' tag enough on multi-pages, though in the end, the result[s] is relevant to Sebastia as well. --Shuki 22:17, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
I think that "Samaria is a region" should be in a separate entry than "Samaria (site), as village, or as an archaelogical/national park". the site should have one entry clearly explaining the historical & political complexities, and the region should have another, emphasizing its natural qualities; unique climate, topography, flora-fauna, and general geography
if there's no objection, i'll write in that direction. when i get a "round toit" :) Shilonite 12:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merged
Separating Samaria as a modern region and political bounderies, versus archaeological site makes sense, and would merit separate articles if it's long enough. I've merged the Sebastia, Middle East article to here for now, since 90% of the material was already duplicated [to or from] here. —Quarl (talk) 2007-02-28 06:46Z
