Talk:Operation Moses

Characterizing as military operation
I am not sure that charecterizing this as a military operation is quite correct. The pages I have read mention agents and El Al but not IDF. Operation Solomon appears to certainly have involved IDF. Does El Al actually fly C-130s though as it is claimed in the linked article? Or just IDF? Rmhermen 13:07, May 4, 2004 (UTC)


 * This was a military operation led by the army. The IDF took the seats out of ElAl jets and played a very large role. --יהושועEric 14:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Dont forget about jewish Americans
This operation had been conducted in the state of secrecy. Most of the funding for the operation came from Jewish-Americans living in the United States of America. And their organizations contributed to to operation moses becoming a success.

Expanded list of participants
I added all of the key players of the operation. It was a triumph of feet-on-the-ground realism for all parties involved. Feco 08:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Who spilled the beans?
According to these folks, Shimon Peres called a press conference and announced the ongoing existence of Operation Moses:

The link to the article that author is referring to ("Operation Moses victims honored", Jerusalem Post, May 3 2005) is dead, but the article is in Google's cache here:

evacuation not removal
The jews were evacuated not removed. Typical objectifying racialist kant. I bet white jews are evacuated all over wikipedia. because they're black, "they're removed," as if cargo. -222.68.185.34 (talk) 15:59, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Please note that evacuation was already used in the article - now it is used twice in close proximity in the text, bad style. And also note that removal was chosen as a more neutral term than evacuation which can be seen as carrying an implication of malfeasance by the Sudanese government.
