That guy clearly should read /usr/share/doc/tzdata-2011n/Theory which explains why cities are chosen instead of region names and when new timezones need to be added (as has Asia/Hebron been recently added). Asia/Jerusalem is different from Asia/Hebron or Asia/Gaza in when DST is or is not observed, either this year or at least in some years since 1970. The timezone database uses Hebron instead of Ramallah because Hebron is bigger, similarly how most of China uses Asia/Shanghai instead of Asia/Beijing.
