Talk:Nitaf

What does Benny Morris call Nitaf?
Can't find any such name in Morris. But there is a Beit Nattif] in his 2004 book, listed as being in the Jerusalem corridor. We do not have an entry for such a village in our 1948 template. Perhaps it is one in the same?  T i a m u t talk 16:02, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I see now we do have an article on Bayt Nattif in the Hebron district. This is quite te puzzle then.  T i a m u t talk 17:28, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Nitaf is not in Morris, not according to Esber...(nor have I been able to find it). Recall: Khalidi hade quite a few more villages than Morris. Huldra (talk) 22:25, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Does anyone have this paper?
Frantzman, p. 149 has a reference that Nataf was founded by an effendi from Abu Ghosh that built homes near the spring of Ein Nataf.....reference:

 * Yeah, well, now I have had a quick read.....and I cannot find any reference, neither to Nitaf/Nataf, nor Abu Ghosh (Frantzman doesn't give any page ref) ...what am I missing?  (It might be in the notes? They're so small I can hardly read them), Huldra (talk) 20:23, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You can zoom in by clicking on it, and zoom out by control-clicking on it. But I don't see Nitaf either, and it does not appear on the map. I'll look further when a PDF file arrives in the next few days. Zerotalk 00:54, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that is not an easy read...but searching for Nitaf, or Nataf, I get 0 hits. Same for Abu. Well, it wouldn't be the first ref. that Frantzman has messed up. Huldra (talk) 23:22, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Now I have a PDF file and I quite sure that no spelling of Natif is mentioned. Zerotalk 01:04, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Sigh, I wish at least some of the references that Frantzman gives turned out to be correct...Huldra (talk) 23:14, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
