Woody Allen?
Since when has Woody Allen been an activist for Palestinian human rights? Aside from being vaguely liberal (in the bourgeois intellectual sense), he seems to be mostly non-political. There's nothing on his own page which suggests activism on his part. I'll remove his name if no one objects.207.6.31.119 08:52, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

i have eliminated rachel correy, her parents have been identified as christians in several publications and i have seen no indication she ever converted to judaism. ag

should adam shapiro be listed? while coming from jewish parentage, he has explicitly disclaimed his "jewishness"; he married a non jew, and he obviously despises jews and israel. while by religious standards he is jewish (jewish mother, etc.), should he be considered jewish for purposes of this list? i'll let some time go by, if no one has a counter argument i'll delete him. ag

I have eliminated the word Leftist from the anti racist category, many of the names on the list are not necessarily of the left, and racism is attacked by both the right and the left, and should not be categorized as a left/right issue.Incorrect 15:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Adam Shapiro absolutely should NOT be removed from this list! Jews who hate Israel (and their fellow Jews) do not magically thereby cease to exist as Jews. Taking them off the list means letting them off the hook for their foolishness. If non-Jewish anti-Semites are excoriated by the public, it is only fair to acknowledge the odious beliefs of anti-Semitic Jews such as Shapiro (even if one uses the polite term "pro-Palestinian").--16 July 2006

Mordechai Levy's name has been restored to the list of Jewish defense activists. Extensive biographical information on him is found at the wiki article on the Jewish Defense Organization, with cites to many media articles about his activities.--2 August 2006

Weather Underground?
Are they really notable as activists? If they hadn't set off bombs would anyone have noticed their activism? BayShrimp (talk) 15:48, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I will try moving them to other sections, depending on their notability. BigJim707 (talk) 23:45, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Allen Ginsberg?
Right now he is listed as an anti-war activist. He was certainly an activist but his article does not seem to show that anti-war was his major interest. I will see if another section fits him better. BayShrimp (talk) 15:58, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I just noticed the "counterculture" section. Done. -BayShrimp (talk) 16:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Bernie Sanders is not included in this list
Wikipedia has much information about the political activism of Bernie Sanders, but Sanders does not appear anywhere in this list. Jarble (talk) 22:58, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

name order
Within each section, this list needs to be placed in alphabetic order by last name to match all other such lists. Hmains (talk) 21:28, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
