Talk:Old Yemenite Synagogue (Silwan)

[Untitled]
Comments added in bold like ((this)). Taking into account the incorrect or improperly sourced material, there is very little left.


 * The Old Yemenite Synagogue ((not its name or even a unique identifying description)) is a former synagogue in the nineteenth century Yemenite Village neighborhood in the Jerusalem district of Silwan. ((The source mentions a Mandate-era synagogue in Silwan but does not indicate its location, so there is in fact no source for it being the same place as what the settlers today call a synagogue.)) The synagogue was built in 1890. ((Information is from "Ateret Cohanim member Assaf Brochi", in other words a settler spokesman; clearly fails WP:RS))


 * The old synagogue was abandoned when the Jewish residents of Silwan were evacuated from their homes in by British colonial authorities in 1938, during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. ((Ref is again the unreliable Assaf Brochi, and ref doesn't actually say the synagogue was abandonded but only the residential neighborhood. Ref says "housed a Yemenite synagogue until the 1948 War of Independence", which contradicts this text))   As of 2010, the old synagogue was in use as a 5-unit residential building.  ((Completely wrong. Refs, , and all clearly state that the old synagogue and the apartment building are different structures.  The apartment building is modern and the building claimed to be an old synagogue is about 100m away.))
