Article Evaluation
=== The Jewish Diaspora ===

Evaluating Content

 * The content seems to be relevant to the article and nothing was distracting.
 * The article did not seem out of date and it appears to have provided a full rounded picture of the topic.

Evaluating Tone

 * There seems to be a very neutral side to this article.
 * Going off of that, everything seems to be represented equally or almost equally. The wikipedia page goes through the different types of Jews based on geography, but some are explained more than others. It starts with the "Classic Period," which are the Jews and Samaritans. Then it goes on to the "Middle Ages". Ashkenazi Jews seem to have the most representation in this section, with Sephardic not falling too far behind. It does talk about Mizrahi Jews, Yemenite Jews, and Karaite Jews as well, but not in as much detail as the other two mentioned before. Then it goes onto the "Modern era," which talks about Israeli Jews, American Jews, French Jews, Georgian Jews, and many others.

Evaluating Sources

 * The few sources that were checked all seem to lead to a working page. All the sources have a use in the article.
 * Each fact that has a source is represented correctly. The sources that were checked probably have some bias towards Jews because they were all taken from Jewish places. A couple sources were books with "Jews" or "Judaism" in the title. Even with this being in place, there does not seem to be a bias in this article.

Evaluating the Talk Page

 * There has been a lot of talking, with the last one being in August 2018. The main conversation going on is actually people correcting other people's grammar. That section is labeled "Bias check?" which also relates to the bias question from before. All different users were contributing to that section to try to help lower the bias. In this area they talked about a user hating on the State of Israel. It seemed to be resolved because it does seem to be apparent anymore. Something else that stood out on the talk page is that someone pointed out there might be plagiarizing. It also seems to be resolved considering there is nothing flagged on the article.
 * The article is a part of two WikiProjects: WikiProject Jewish History and WikiProject Israel. For WikiProject Jewish History it is rated C-Class. For WikiProject Israel it is rated B-Class.
 * This differs from class because it just goes more in depth to the jewish diaspora. In class we talked about the Jewish diaspora, but other diasporas as well. This focuses just on this topic.

Operation Solomon

 * It should be Herman Cohen instead of Hank Cohen who was the Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs.
 * The rescue was oversaw by the Prime Minister at the time, Yitzhak Shamir.
 * $35 million was raised by the Jewish community to give to the government in Ethiopia so that the Jews could come over to Israel.

Operation
The operation was overseen by the Prime Minister at the time, Yitzhak Shamir.

Before the flights were put in place, an organization called The American Association of Ethiopian Jews helped make the people of Israel act on the Ethiopian Jews to speed up the process for them coming over to Israel The organization went right ahead and got buses and trucks etc., to have the people of Gondar quickly come to Addis Ababa. To get the the Jews in Addis Ababa, many of the Jews that came from Gondar had to venture hundreds of miles by car, horses, and by foot. Some had things taken by thieves on the way and some were even killed. In order to accommodate as many people as possible, airplanes were stripped of their seats and up to 1,122 passengers were boarded on a single plane. Many of the immigrants came with nothing except their clothes and cooking instruments, and were met by ambulances, with 140 frail passengers receiving medical care on the tarmac. Several pregnant women gave birth on the plane, and they and their babies were rushed to the hospital. After a few months, around 20,000 Jews had made their way over. While they were there, they were struggling for basic resources like food and warmth. They thought they would see their families right away.

May 24, 1991, also happened to be a Friday which falls on Shabbat for Jews. On the Sabbath, transportation is not used. This made it easier to complete the operation. The Jewish Religious Law mentions that one can break the Sabbath traditions if it is for saving lives.

Between 1990 and 1999, over 39,000 Ethiopian Jews entered Israel.

Before Operation Solomon took place, many of the Jews there were at a high risk of infection from diseases, especially HIV. The Jews that were left behind had am even higher risk at the infection because the rate of it kept increasing.

History
It should be Herman Cohen instead of Hank Cohen who was the Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs.

Before Operation Solomon, Operation Moses and Operation Joshua were two of the other ways that Ethiopian Jews could leave before they were forced to put an end to these type of programs. After that, a very small number of Ethiopian Jews were able to go to Israel.

Before the operation, the majority of the Jews were living in the Gondar region of the Ethiopian Highlands. The majority of these people at the time were farmers and artisans.

$35 million was raised by the Jewish community to give to the government in Ethiopia so that the Jews could come over to Israel. The money went to the aridity expense in Addis Ababa.

The name Operation Solomon is after King Solomon.

Significance of it falling on shabbat


 * May 24, 1991, also happened to be a Friday which falls on Shabbat for Jews. On the Sabbath, transportation is not used. This made it easier to complete the hhoperation. The Jewish Religious Law mentions that one can break the Sabbath traditions if it is for saving lives.
