They've had the same mayor for 23 years now? Is that even legal? 70.70.212.72 03:31, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] incorrect, i think

The national anthem of Israel, Hatikvah (The Hope), was written, and the Flag of Israel created, in Rishon LeZion.

i do not believe this statement is correct. the anthem was written by Naftali Imber, in Europe. similarly, the israeli flag was taken from the Zionist Organisation's flag -- also in Europe. if i am wrong, please find a source for this statement.

I can't back myself out with sources, but this is something every Israeli pupil learns in grade school already, when we are taken to the Rishon Lezion Museum in the city. They've always shown us the first "prototype" of the flag or tzitzit, from which the flag was born, and a sheet with the lyrics for Hatikva. If someone can get a better "proof" than this, please do so. Ido50 11:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] climate

Temperatures in the climate table are most certainly wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.90.21.11 (talk) 20:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

What makes you say so? They seem to be quite logical. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 21:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] First (to|for) Zion

The article states that Rishon Lezion is First to Zion, while the info box on the right and the beginning of the introduction state that it is First for Zion. Both interpretations are listed twice each, making it four times in the article, which is really redundant. Some must be taken off. And of course, we must come to an agreement whether it is to Zion or for Zion. Please, post your viewes here. Ido50 11:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I think First for Zion makes more sense in English. But both as correct in terms of translation. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 09:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

While I agree the both are correct in terms of translation, we need to be consistent. I also think First for Zion sounds better. --Ido50 10:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
