unreliable source
This has been discussed several times at the rs notice board and its clear that jvl is not a reliable source, --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 09:48, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

The problems here are the same with the Gamla article, it has an Israeli map for a place in Syria. I guess people object for using a map of Syria here also? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 18:58, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
This is not a neutral map: its Israeli-centric and shows ceasefire line as the border with Syria. Look at the left map, the ceasefire line has the same color as with Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 19:53, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
I replaced the Israel centric map with a zoomed in map of the Golan Heights since its internationally recognized as in Syria. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:07, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
