Lebanese Prisoners

hey, thanks for backing me up on the prisoners issue, i did not erase it even though i had a small urge to do so - i did however remove the title "israeli occupation army" wherever it sat on the part that is unsubstanciated. _{[i think that editor should be reported, not that i know how to do it].}

i'm thinking about adding input about all the prisoners that syria kidnapped and are missing... it would add a sense of neutrality to the article... since the numbers are far greater.

what do you think?

NPOV Policy

I am responding to your revert of my edits on the Israel Lebanon Conflict of 2006 article. Wikipedia policy states, "one of the most common forms of violating the NPOV policy is to selectively cite some information that supports one view whilst deleting or trivializing other information that opposes it. In this manner, one can completely misrepresent or conceal the full range of views on a subject whilst still complying with Wikipedia:Verifiability." What I cited was actual news reports and it is appropriate to cite news reports as information that disagrees with the information you are using to advance your position. I do not agree with Isarig or your revert and find the deliberate, biased, NPOV violations by you and Isarig inappropriate. So please stop it. I will continue defending the availability of information so people can make their own decisions. And if you continue to revert my edits I will report you to Wikipedia administrators. Good luck...

New lead for Israel-Lebanon conflict

I think the new lead is a lot better. All these wars (even, in a way, Lebanon's tiny 1948 expedition) are related to each other because they are related to the power vacuum in Southern Lebanon, caused by the failure of Lebanon to build a functioning state there, which isn't helped at all by Israel picking sides and periodically knocking it to the ground; a failure demographically exacerbated by Israel's own creation. It's the typical cycle of violence thing; but it is a coherent concept. The complexities here make the dispute over Kashmir look like a walk in the park.

If you want a truly nebulous article, go look at Arab-Israeli conflict. That's an absurd catch-all. What does Operation Litani have do to with the Suez War? The opponent spoke in an Arabic dialect?

Anyway -- I mean, "relations" is all well and good: number of mangos imported/exported in 1961, that sort of thing, but to paraphrase Tom Stoppard -- I'm more of the love, blood and rhetoric school, and the blood is compulsory. -- Kendrick7 06:27, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Impressive list

That your working on. I was wondering if I could have your input at the lengthy discussion on the Talk:List of indigenous peoples page on the subject of Palestinian indigeniety (it's now pretty much three sub-section unde rthe RfC at that page). Some people were trying to claim that ther UN is not an WP:RS among other strange contentions. Tiamut 12:33, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd be very interested in the discussion, but unfortunately it seems to be gone now. Sounds like the argument is over whether the Palestinians are indigenous to Palestine. If so, I find it amazing that anyone would argue otherwise. The list of UN documents is something I hope other editors will find useful, also. Recently I used it in Talk: Israeli settlement regarding terminology referring to the West Bank. This sort of thing seems to crop up over and over so I thought it would be handy to have a list of documents in one place, though my user page is probably not ultimately the best place for it.

Tip about newspaper article

I figured you might be interested in a Washington Post article concerning the Wadi Fukin situtation. See Bonded in Resistance to the Barrier (you might have to register). __meco 07:34, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

as expected

i expected your misplaced comment on this one to get "real-long real-fast", but i wanted to give it a chance without direct intervention.

considering how it turned out, i out-dented it into the comments section and you might be inclined to make some statement outside of that subsection - please, keep it short and to the point though, we're trying to get long lasting consensus, not a one month consensus.

i request you strikethrough your commentary that "He [I] is a relentless POV pusher who has no understanding of the need to provide reliable sources" - here. Jaakobou^{Chalk Talk} 20:28, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
