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.
