Refugee camps?
I am confused. Why are there still refugee camps in the middle of the Palestinian-controlled territory? What have they been waiting on for 40 years? The answer to that is well known but I'm sure political correctness will keep it out of the article. Could someone with more Wiki knowledge than I please state some sort of valid reason for these camps in the article? Thanks. Traumatic (talk) 16:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Elisha's Spring
Should the Elisha's Spring be a separate article? ..there is one on he.wp, and a commons cat
There are lots of nice old pictures/postcards of "Elisha's Fountain", I'll upload some in the near future. Alas, it looks as if the Israelis have totally taken it over, therefore I think it should be split from this article, Huldra (talk) 21:26, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
More in Pringle, Pilgrimage to Jerusalem and the Holy land, 1187–1291.
Also called "Elisha's Fountain". 2 Kings 2.19/22. Mentioned by many ancient visitors, see Wilkinson, Jerusalem Pilgrims before the Crusades. (I can send it if you don't have it.)
Pilgrims' accounts quoted by Yoram Tsafrir, "The Maps Used by Theodosius: On the Pilgrim Maps of the Holy Land and Jerusalem in the Sixth Century C. E.". (I'll send it.)
Recent work mentioned in an archaeological report which I will send.

Wrong spelling
Either a or e in both cases, Ein es-Sultan (taken already) or Ain as-Sultan. This is just a mess.
