Date of Death
Can we verify the date. Most newspaper sources seem to be reporting October 30, 1984 (e.g., MSNBC; El Paso Times (Texas), Orlando Sentinel (Florida), etc.). So, I'll change it to October 30 from October 29 and if there a more authoratitive source for the 29 date, we can add that in later.--RossF18 (talk) 05:23, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If that's been reported that should be added. His obit, if I remember correctly, mentioned the Monday before it was published, and in 1984 that was October 29, but I'll check again. Joshdboz (talk) 12:16, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * He died two days before Halloween at Miami Heart Institute over on the Beach, for certain. Corgi (talk) 18:09, 29 June 2012 (UTC)


 * On his gravestone, it states the date of death as the 30th. →
 * Perhaps the discrepancy in dates is due to timezone differences? If he died within ~7 hours before midnight on the 29th, it would have been the 30th in Israel. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 * Finally, I'm not much of a Wikipedia editor; could someone add the image into the article if you feel it's appropriate to do so? I took it myself this past Sunday. Sandwich (talk) 12:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Refutation of a myth
Arab and pro-Arab apologists have a pet myth that the US government gave material aid to Israel in the 1948 conflict. The life of Charles Winters is proof of how far from reality that myth is. Das Baz, aka Erudil 19:15, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

The American's (and even the Soviets) did aid Israel in the 1948 war, they were among the first nations to recognize the creation of Israel. Truman was the first leader to recognize Israel. As for military assistance, the Israelis received tons of this from British advisors, foreign volunteers called the Mahal, and arms shipments from Czechoslovakia sent with the blessings of Stalin and the Soviets. Avi Shlaim and all real historians have also documented how the Israeli forces greatly outnumbered the pathetic divided Arab "coalition" that was too busy arguing with themselves to do anything. Top Israeli helper was King Abduallh I of Jordan who was a close friend of the Zionists and Golda Meier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Historylover4 (talk • contribs) 00:42, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
