Talk:Dan Halutz

Remove "Handshake incident"?
I propose removing the mention of this section from the Dan Halutz article for two reasons:

First, there is no mention of the press as the action being resulting from Haluz's being personally offended by the action. Reports mention other officers taking action against the soldier, with absolutely no comment from Halutz. Those who are arguing against the soldier's punishment do not accuse the Chief of Staff himself, but the army establishment and sometimes the General Staff, specifically.

Second, even if Halutz were personally involved in this, it would hardly be worthy of placement in an encyclopedia. Next to his career and his role in three very important conflicts, this is a non issue. It is nowhere near as important as the recent stock market issue.

I've also just removed a link to an media opinion piece, which contributed only one side of the story, and again, had almost nothing to do with this specific article.

Concur
I am going to do that. The soldier who refused to shake-hands with the General was a very minor incident. (Although, MOST CERTAINLY NOT for the soldier! Legally speaking, the soldier was probably in the wrong...) V. Joe 20:42, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I removed this from the lead sentence. Please feel free to add this material further into the article where it is relevant per WP:MOSBIO, thanks! --Tom 12:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The material inserted by an anon and cited to a blog was in fact the subject of a feature article in Maariv (a major Israeli tabloid). It's since been picked up by several major Arab papers, a major Turkish paper, and another Israeli paper. Here's a link to the front page of Maariv, featuring a headline for the article with a picture of Halutz. What follows is an English translation of the article itself:
