Victim of peace

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is an orphan which is essentially unsourced, about a non-notable expression which the editors of the article didn't even manage to identify. Only two of the references mention it at all, but neither of them actually say what it means and neither is reliable. The fact is that this phrase was used by Shimon Peres to describe Yitzhak Rabin, who was a victim of Jewish terrorism (exactly the opposite of what is claimed here). Anything worth reporting could be added to Yitzhak Rabin. It might have later been aped by some activists for their own purposes, but frankly who cares? Zerotalk 07:19, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if it were well-sourced it would still run afoul of WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Talk about the issue in articles on the events, the expression does not need its own article. BigJim707 (talk) 12:52, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The article claims that this expression is "a euphemism ascribed by the Israeli right-wing politicians to the Israeli left-wing politicians", but offers no evidence that either the left uses the expression, or that the right suggests that they do so. A Google search for the term in connection to the Palestine-Israel conflict leads mainly to this article and mirrors; the only actual victims so described are Rabin, as noted above, and the Sea of Galilee. A totally meritless article about a non-existent concept, which does  not even merit the description of "neologism" since nobody has ever, apparently, used it in the sense suggested here.

 * Delete - per RolandR. There's little evidence that this term is even used, let alone has any significance. --He to Hecuba (talk) 20:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
