Talk:Arab al-Mawasi massacre

disputed
Benny Morris research is very disputed in Israel. He himself has reverted many of his claims in recent years and said that he was wrong. Sorry, this is obviously not good enough and POV. Amoruso
 * Reverted. Please don't slap tags on multiple pages the way you just did. Instead, you should bring arguments specific to the article and the cites to back it up. See WP:V, WP:RS, WP:NPOV. Your changes turns up on the NPOV backlog and other backlogs -- Steve Hart 01:00, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I can see two problems with the title. First, it's original research. Googling returns very few hits, mostly Wikipedia mirrors, but no reliable sources that would assert the phrase "Arab al-Mawasi massacre" to be widely accepted in the English language. Secondly, it's sourced only to two authors, Benny Morris and Walid Khalidi, both famous for their idiosyncratic views. Thus, we cannot state these allegations as facts, let alone devote an entire article to them. At most, this must be merged elsewhere and clearly attributed to the two authors.

 * Hello,
 * I cannot agree.
 * Benny Morris is an historian whose work is published by academic editors.
 * He has been criticized by some scholars but only for parts of his work and some conclusions he drew (or didn't drew). On the contrary his worked have been widely praised by the majority of scholars.
 * Whatever, Benny Morris is a WP:RS for wikipedia. Ceedjee (talk) 06:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

question
Moved from article, originally inserted there by Nishidani on Nov 28, 2007:
 * Note to editors. There is confusion here. According to Morris, The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited 2004 p.479, 499 n.107, one head was taken to Eilabun, the other to Maghar at least a month earlier than this incident. Thus whichever of the two sources here (Morris, Khalidi) asserts that the same two heads were discovered together here must have got the facts wrong. Please check. One point of congruence is the number 14 in both massacres.

Yes, the extra detail in Morris 2004 should go into the article and the confusion with Eilabun massacre should be sorted out. Morris p481 disambiguates them. Zerotalk 09:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
