Israeli writer?[edit]

It isn't clear from the article why Shabi is described as an Israeli writer when you search for her name on mobile devices. The article mentions her Iraqi-Jewish heritage grew, says she up in the UK and that she has written about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - but there is no mention of Israel in connection with her personally anywhere.

That is because she isn't Israeli - she falsely claimed to be born in Israel in some kind of sick justification for her ant-Israeli tirades. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wimbledownperv (talk • contribs) 14:37, 10 April 2017 (UTC) ^{(WP:BLP ← ZScarpia 13:51, 12 October 2019 (UTC))}[reply]

I've amended her birthplace to Ramat Gan on the basis of the available references that I could find, but accept that they are very far from perfect.JezGrove (talk) 23:17, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rachel Shabi page image[edit]

Hello there,

I've added a profile image of myself (Rachel Shabi) to wikimedia commons here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rachel_Shabi_profile_pic.jpg

I would be grateful if this image could be used to replace the existing pic on my page. I also have some screengrab images of broadcast appearances which I'm happy to upload if these can be used.

Many thanks, Rachel Shabi RShabi (talk) 06:36, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
