Comment: It would be inaccurate but you might as well get rid of it and have yet another Wikipedia article containing glaring factual inaccuracies. Wikipedia has been taken over by POV pushers regarding anything that is even remotely related to Israel. How can an official Mobile government source be given stating that the city of Ariel, Israel - and not Ariel, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank - is a sister city of Mobile, Alabama, only for the latter to be placed in the article? Even when those words are not in the source given! For accuracy, the only fair thing to do is to put the flags back, list the city as "Ariel, Israel" with the Israeli flag in front of it, and add a note stating the contentious and/or disputed nature of the locality underneath it. 124.180.167.228
