Talk:Najd, Gaza

World attention
If the "town came to the worlds attention from 2002 and onwards," where are the sources proving this? Chesdovi (talk) 23:12, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Regarding the follwoing paragraph:
 * "The village and its history came to the world's attention from 2002 onwards, as several Qassam-rockets were fired from the Gaza strip, with the aim of hitting Sderot and other Israeli towns, from where the Palestinians had once been expelled."
 * The source provided by User:John Bernard Winterbottom for it is from Israel: The Bernie Madoff of Countries - The online magazine for independent conservatives, edited by Taki Theodoracopulos January 07, 2009. Besides from the odd wording, this source is insufficient. "World's attention"? Don't you mean Taki Theodoracopulos' attention? I am removing this section. Chesdovi (talk) 12:15, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The source seems to be a blog, so I agree it isn't sufficient. On the other hand, it is true that the connection between Najd and Sderot has received some press attention in the context of the rockets.  I didn't find anything back as far as 2002 but there is a little back to 2005 and quite a lot starting 2008.  I'm not sure how to give this information within the rules, since I don't have an independent source that summarises this information.  Zerotalk 13:32, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree Sderot has been in the news, although I have never come across Najd being mentioned in the mass media. Chesdovi (talk) 13:55, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually; I have seen that in Scandinavia these last few years; when people write about the bombing of Sderot; they have started to also mention the fate of the Najd-villages. That was unthinkable 10 years ago. Anyway; I think the Winterbottom-link should go under the "external link" heading; that is where I try to collect anything which is not used as a source in the article.

Was Najd located in the Arab or Jewish state?
Does anyone know if Najd was located in what was to be the Arab state, or what was to be the Jewish state (Israel)? Looking at the maps in Morris (2004), it looks to me as if Najd was located in what was supposed to be the Arab state,- but I have found no fool-proof reference.

 * Hi, I looked this up some time ago and it was in the Arab state, but unfortunately I can't now find the source. --Dailycare (talk) 19:50, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It was in the Jewish state. Res 181 states that the boundary was to run along the eastern boundary of Dimra, which was to the west of Najd.  I checked this by overlaying a UN map of the partition with a detailed map of the villages.  The map shows Najd within the Jewish state by 1-2km.  Zerotalk 08:05, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
