The change you made about Israel's participation in the programme directly contradicts the link that I added at the end of the sentence. Do you have a link to later info than October 12, 2005? Noisy | Talk 10:17, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Welcome.
I wanted to add my official Welcome to you as well. Have you seen WikiProject Judaism and Portal:Israel ? You can join and contribute to both. Feel free to call on me on my talk page. IZAK 12:08, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, he has re-written the article to place the blame entirely on Israel; however, he has done it using reasonable sources, properly cited. The way to provide proper balance is to provide other sources which come to different conclusions. Do you have any? Jayjg (talk) 01:14, 7 November 2005 (UTC)


 * The Jewish Virtual Library is considered a partisan source here - I'm afraid you'll have to hit the real history books... Jayjg (talk) 01:39, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, sure, any legitimate history book is fair game. Jayjg (talk) 02:00, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Shevah Mofet
I noticed you edited the Shevah Mofet article a couple days ago - were you ever in this school, or just removed language you considered POV? Because, although the article isn't that important on the whole, I think it's important for the paragraph's completeness to mention that basically nothing has changed in the school's cafeteria. -- Ynhockey || Talk 11:57, 7 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually I entered that sentence seriously, the reason it probably sounded like a joke was because I couldn't think of a better way to word it. Although I guess it's not that important. --- Ynhockey || Talk 23:10, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

I live in Petah-Tikva, as it says on my user page. Previously I have lived in Arad, Israel. Emap.co.il has a detailed map if you want, although it's in Hebrew. -- Ynhockey || Talk 09:11, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Crazy changes by Gilgamesh
Unfortunately, User:Gilgamesh is now imposing his own views by changing the transliterated Hebrew names of articles with redirects to unreadable Hebrew names and fonts, as if his criteria are the only ones to reckon with, when there are in fact several. My computer, as I am sure many others' as well, does not pick up his type of fonts, and thus he is messing up articles such as Safed, Hadera, Holon, Afula, Arad, Israel and many others defacing them and making them unreadable on the web. He is going to DESTROY the normal usage of Wikipedia's Hebrew transliterations to satisfy his own needs without there being any consensus. Common usages are being thrown out in favor of obscure and pedantic academic usages familiar to only a handful of unkown academics. He should be called upon to stop BEFORE he rushes to do further damage without any consensus being reached. All his changes should therefore be reverted. See all his recent contributions via: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Gilgamesh I thank you for your interest, and urge all readers here to act. IZAK 04:08, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hebrew naming conventions
At the present time there is a serious discussion taking place, aiming at some consensus that will result in "official" Wikipedia guidelines about how Hebrew should be used and written in Wikipedia articles. Because of your past or ongoing interest in these type of articles with Hebrew words in them, your attention is called to Naming conventions (Hebrew) TO  MAKE  YOUR  VIEWS  KNOWN  AND  TO  ADD  TO  THE  DISCUSSION  BEFORE  THE  "DOORS  ARE  SHUT"  PLEASE  SEE  THE  RELATED  DISCUSSION  PAGE  AT Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Hebrew)  Thank you!

Haj Amin
Having a problem with a user repeatedly adding this quote: 

Following the the war (and most notably during and after the trial of Adolf Eichmann) the mufti's'' role and the extent of his influence with the Nazis were inflated in what historian Idith Zertal describes as "a landmark in the process of the organized, explicit mobilization of the Holocaust in the service of Israeli politics and state policy, especially in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict". Zertal continues: "The transference of the Holocaust situation on to the Middle East reality, which harsh and hostile to Israel as it was, was of a totally different kind, not only created a false sense of the imminent danger of mass destruction. It also immensely distorted the image of the Holocaust, dwarfing the magnitude of the atrocities committed by the Nazis, trivializing the unique agony of the victims and the survivors, and utterly demonizing the Arabs and their leaders."''


 * I pointed out to him that this is predicated on three unverified premises:
 * a) The Mufti's Nazi-ties were exaggerated after the war.
 * b) This was done by Jews/Zionists to further their malign aims, by gaining sympathy.
 * c) There is a campaign to "explicitly mobilize the Holocaust in the service of Israeli politics and state policy."
 * I put it to him that before he can add such a POV quote to the article he must provide the writers answers to how, where and when this was done and not just the why (to gain sympathy by abusing the memory of the holocaust. jucifer 00:13, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge ISU-122 into ISU-152
I've added a vote to the bottom of Talk:ISU-152, so we can resolve the long-standing question. Cheers. —Michael Z. 2006-10-22 21:19 Z
