But that is not stopping Yahoo Weather!

When you go to Yahoo Weather and look for the weather in Jerusalem, among the Jerusalem's that show up are Jerusalem, Yerushalayim (not Jerusalem, Israel) and Jerusalem, West Bank.

If you decide to check out the weather in Jerusalem, Israel Yerushalayim, you get this:
