Hello, I'm Fuzheado. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Homomonument, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Fuzheado &#124; Talk 22:43, 19 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello!
 * I never edited on Wikipedia before the episode 19/11-2020. I noticed your message now.
 * The background was a weekend visit to Amsterdam with some of our neighbour couples from Norway.
 * Coming from the Anne Frank Museum, we unexpectedly ran into the the impressive Homomonument - situated a few meters from the Anne Frank Museum. The poem from Jacob Israel de Hahn is a central part of the monument. On a plaque/sign next to the monument You can read about Jacob Israel de Hanh,when he was born and when he died.
 * I vaguely rememberer his name from an article in Haaretz, checked it, and found correctly that he died being shot on the street in Jerusalem, just coming from the synagogue. Just coming from the Anne Frank museum, full of accounts on the nazi athrocities, I found it quite strange to see that neither on the sign or on The homomonument in Wikipedia one mentions that he also was a victim of political violence. In addition the perpetraitors falsely put out rumours that he was killed by arabs, because of homosexuality.
 * The fact was that he had travelled to Palestine as a sionist, but soon became critical of the treatment of arabs by the jewish immigrants. He started to protest, and gradually became more outspoken, but when he was beginning to write home to Europe about it, the jewish militia Haganah decided that he should be assasinated. The orders came from a future president of Israel.
 * As I remember it I added a few sentences about this in document, but it was deleted swiftly - twice. I thought it was done by someone who was part of Israeli Hasbara, but I might be wrong.
 * You ask for sources; The first one could be Wikipedia itself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Isra%C3%ABl_de_Haan
 * another one could be the Isaeli newspaper Haaretz https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/2013-06-30/ty-article/.premium/this-day-zionisms-first-political-assassination/0000017f-dc30-db5a-a57f-dc7a40570000
 * Is this the kind of reliable sources you request?
 * I believe my comment is very relevant today, when Israel just got a new and extremely homphobic government.
 * For your information!
 * Sorry about the very long delay!
 * Wish you alle the best for the New Year!
