Talk:Qalb Loze massacre

Nusra apologism
seems to be adding every defensive statement of the Nustra/al Qaeda group as fact, while questioning every statement by the Druze villagers, based on a single source. That is POV and not acceptable. FunkMonk (talk) 05:21, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * There were only 3 references in the entire article before I added the NYT one. And I put "according to JaN member Mohammad Freezo" (i.e. not stating it as a fact). And this article has the WP:POV title "massacre" when most references call it a shoot out. Nulla Taciti (talk) 05:26, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * First off, I'm quite baffled that you're so concerned about defending al Qaeda's Syrian branch (similar style to, interestingly). Second, the NYT is very tendentious when it comes to Syria, especially the writer of your article, Anne Barnard. She's kind of like a still functioning Elizabeth O'Bagy.

 * I'm using the available references to fully elaborate upon the event in question. And while I don't know why you are so enthralled with defending a state sponsor of terrorism like the Assad regime, I also don't know who is, but that was an apparent WP:PA accusing me of being a WP:SOCK. Last of all I couldn't care less what your opinion of certain journalist is, at the end of the day, you are just some user on Wikipedia and she gets paid to work at a WP:RS like the NYT; draw your own conclusions.

 * FunkMonk's edit is factually correct when he categorises this article as a terrorist attack because despite the opinion of any of us Nusra is considered a terrorist organisation (branch of Al-Qaeda and on the State Department's list). EkoGraf (talk) 17:14, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I fully support FunkMonk in this matter. HamzaWahabi (talk) 11:33, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Nulla, countering pro-Nusra/Qaeda bias is not being "pro-Assad". As for Barnard being "paid by an RS", sure, so was O'Bagy. Isn't exactly a stamp of approval. And as Eko has demonstrated, you have selectively filtered out the Druze villager's account from Barnard's account, and only presented the Nusra claims. Very tendentious indeed.
