Saudi Arabia in fact does not call christians swine, I challenge anyone for evidence. Saudi does not, ever, no where, claim that Jews worship the devil.... in fact, this is against Islam, as Muslims believe that both Christians and Jews are People of the book, or people who have been given books by the same God as the muslim God. Furthermore, muslims believe in all Jewish and Christian prophets. people please beware of false, nonsense statements that only create unneeded hate and ignorance.

"Since Muslims do not consider themselves as the "true Israel", they do not feel threatened by the survival of Jews." It seems as if the article is implying that Christians feel threatened by the survival of the Jews. There's no citation to back that up, and there are Christians who sheltered Jews in World War II. In addition, the Brit-Am say that the Western Christian nations are the least anti-Semitic, and that's why they consider them the Lost Tribes of Israel. -- 69.234.192.234 ( talk) 00:55, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

it would seem that said laws are prima facie examples of antisemitism without need for a reference to state it explicitly Though the general definition of antisemitism is hostility or prejudice against Jews. In the interests of fairness, i think what you might want to do in this case is point out that this in the nature of a rational response in the political/land control struggle rather than a random act of irrational bias. the challenge is to avoid being labelled as original research, but that's the fun of wikipedia.

It does seem antisemitic. Aren't there a couple of Jewish citizens in the PA? Telaviv1 ( talk) 07:44, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
I don't see how it's anti-Semitic, it's just a response to the fact that Israel doesn't give building permits to Arabs in East Jerusalem therefore Arab housing is precious and needs to remain in Arab ownership. Not to mention all the demolitions of Arab housing by the government.
It's not racist it's a common sense reaction against a racist situation. It's less negative discrimination against Jews so much as positive discrimination for Arabs.
here is a good description of how racist the Israeli housing authorities are against Arabs and how there has been an ongoing campaign to get rid of Arabs from Jerusalem. Factsontheground ( talk) 08:46, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
It is not Israeli racsim we are discussing, so your points are irrlevant. Israelis could also claim they were repsonding to Arab or Christian racism. If the law specified Israelis it would not be or at least be less racist but it specifies Jews and therefore qualifies as antisemitic. Racist actions always have rational explanataions: the existence of such an explnatioan does not disqualify them from being racist. I suggest adding a sentence saying that this law arises from a particular political situation and leaving it to the reader to make the value judgement about whether it is justified or not.

The following violates the neutral point of view policy in the article "Antisemitism in the Arab World", under the heading for Lebanon:
"In the discourse of Lebanese street politics, "Jew" is a common insult, often used to tar those suspected of collaborating with America and Israel.[47]"
The reference is an opinion from a Time magazine blurb on the Jews in Lebanon. Most of the blurb discusses how a MUSLIM Lebanese man is helping to restore Jewish heritage in Lebanon. The author of the Time blurb is stating an unverified anecdote, (perhaps, based on his experience?), that in no way is representative of how Lebanese view Jewish people. In fact, I know many Lebanese people that would never use the word Jew as an insult. If this statement is to remain, then I will add a statement saying that, "Most Lebanese would never use the word Jew as an insult." It's my word against the author's. The Time piece is an absolute paradox. The author is saying how a Muslim man is helping restore Jewish symbols in Lebanon, while painting Lebanese as racists against Jews, since they, supposedly, use the word Jew as a "common insult". This is absolute slander against a people and I will not let it stand. Therefore, this statement is deleted. Corrector555 ( talk) 14:41, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.130.56 ( talk) 16:55, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
I agree that the Arabs are not Semites, despite often being credited as such. Though geneologies are largely patrillineal today, originally the ethinicity of the mother determined the child's identity. Ishmael, who Arabs are believed to be descended from, had a Hamite mother. So, technically, he was a Hamite. He also married an Egyptian, making all of his children Hamites. They continued to intermarry as such and by the tenth generation they would have had less than one percent of Semitic blood.
Nowadays, they often claim to be Semites, and people frequently use this to fight the accusations of them being anti-semitic. My dictionary even classifies them under the term of "Semitic." However, regardless being the descendents of Abraham, who was in fact the tenth generation of Shem, Arabs are technically Hamites. -- 69.128.204.110 ( talk) 23:10, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Don't give me this religious nonsense.
What determines descendants, is the father. It's in the Y-chromosome, it can only be transferred by a man. Arabs are just as Semites as Jews, DNA testing proves it. But if you don't believe in DNA there isn't much I can do. 24.213.71.158 ( talk) 20:36, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
This is simply religious mumbo-jumbo. There was no Noah, no Sam or Ham or any (X)am. And while we are at it, there was no Abraham, no Ishmael, Isaac or anyone you can add in between either.

there seems to be a question, by some, regarding the use of Mudar Zahran and a question regarding the use of the Hudson Institute. the hudson institute meets all standards for RS including editorial board, etc. (do i need to review all of the points?).
in addition, it is accepted throughout wikipedia, so not sure why it is a question here. three examples of past discussions: [1], and [2], and [3]
in addition, kenneth hanner (former nat'l editor of the washington times), writing for human events says they are pretty good, too. (do you want exact quotes?) see [4] http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=42256
and, they themselves say: Hudson Institute is a nonpartisan policy research organization dedicated to innovative research and analysis. Founded in 1961, Hudson is celebrating a half century of forging ideas that promote security, prosperity, and freedom.
any comments as to why they should not be acceptable? thanks. Soosim ( talk) 13:20, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

There have been some back and forth edits over my initial removal of the following passage from the section on Israeli Arabs:
First of all, this statement does not cite any sources. Secondly, I would like to point out that Anti-Semitism is not the same thing as Anti-Zionism. Somebody can disagree with a government without advocating racial or religious hatred towards its citizens. For example, I don't recognize the Chinese annexation of Tibet. It doesn't imply hatred of Chinese people. Regardless of wether the political positions in the above text are warranted, they do not belong in an article on anti-Semitism. An article on zionism or anti-zionism would be a more adequate forum for this debate. 85.154.169.140 ( talk) 11:30, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
It saddens me to see that Wikipedia, while such a boon to my studies in biological science and medicine, clearly has no checks and balances against heavily biased political propaganda. Make no mistake: Arabs, among others, are Semites. "Anti-Semitism" is a word that, by its etymology, may in fact be applied to those peoples. The article written here is in large part a fiction, incorporating an overwhelming extent of pro-Zionist propaganda without citation of credible sources, drafted with the seeming purpose to suggest that racism against Jews is far more widespread than can be substantiated by factual sources. Where the article does include historical fact, the presentation is overwhelmingly incomplete, a half-truth with aims to create bias in support of policies of the 1948 state. For one, the article references its definition of "Anti-Semitism" to another Wikipedia article written in much the same style as this one. The author(s) of this piece have clearly established multiple pages under different headings from which to "cite" to create the illusion of authority. One cannot reference his own works as objective citation. Furthermore, the use of hateful language against Arabs even within this Talk page is an excellent demonstration of Anti-Semitism as it describes racial hatred toward peoples of Arab descent, most notably toward the Palestinians.

I find there is some ill-conceived language going on in this paragraph, let me quote it and explain:
By medieval standards, conditions for Jews under Islam were generally more formalized and better than those of Jews in Christian lands, in part due to the sharing of minority status with Christians in these lands. There is evidence for this claim in that the status of Jews in lands with no Christian minority was usually worse than their status in lands with one. For example, there were numerous incidents of massacres and ethnic cleansing of Jews in North Africa,[11] especially in Morocco, Libya and Algeria where eventually Jews were forced to live in ghettos.[12] Decrees ordering the destruction of synagogues were enacted in the Middle Ages in Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.[13] At certain times in Yemen, Morocco and Baghdad, Jews were forced to convert to Islam or face death.[14]
The first two sentences speak of two distinct subjects, but the second one syntactically references the sub-sentence added by comma to the first, regarding the following examples as evidence for its thesis. Maybe it's just because I'm not a native speaker, but I was very much inclined to assume the second sentence, beginning with "there is evidence for this claim in that [...]", would refer to the thesis of the primary sentence, not to the proposed explanatory idea. Mainly because the first sentence raises the comparison of christian and muslim countries, but the further paragraph deals exclusively with the situation in muslim countries.
So here is what I would do: the first sentence lacks a citation, and should be ended before the comma. I'd then go on something like this: "A possible reason for this might be the sharing of minority status with Christians in predominantly muslim countries. There is evindence for this claim in that [...]" Then one might argue that this rewrite should have a citation for this claim not to be suspected original research, while the examples of course still hold. In case this was original research, I would just make it a paragraph about the atrocities and try to build one up for the comparative situation thingy of Jews in christian vs. Jews in muslim countries and the academic discourse on that.
I'd go ahead, but obviously the article is closed. Best wishes

Somebody can disagree with a government without advocating racial or religious hatred towards its citizens. For example, I don't recognize the Chinese annexation of Tibet. It doesn't imply hatred of Chinese people. Regardless of wether the political positions in the above text are warranted, they do not belong in an article on anti-Semitism. An article on zionism or anti-zionism would be a more adequate forum for this debate. 85.154.169.140 ( talk) 11:30, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
It saddens me to see that Wikipedia, while such a boon to my studies in biological science and medicine, clearly has no checks and balances against heavily biased political propaganda. Make no mistake: Arabs, among others, are Semites. "Anti-Semitism" is a word that, by its etymology, may in fact be applied to those peoples. The article written here is in large part a fiction, incorporating an overwhelming extent of pro-Zionist propaganda without citation of credible sources, drafted with the seeming purpose to suggest that racism against Jews is far more widespread than can be substantiated by factual sources. Where the article does include historical fact, the presentation is overwhelmingly incomplete, a half-truth with aims to create bias in support of policies of the 1948 state. For one, the article references its definition of "Anti-Semitism" to another Wikipedia article written in much the same style as this one. The author(s) of this piece have clearly established multiple pages under different headings from which to "cite" to create the illusion of authority. One cannot reference his own works as objective citation. Furthermore, the use of hateful language against Arabs even within this Talk page is an excellent demonstration of Anti-Semitism as it describes racial hatred toward peoples of Arab descent, most notably toward the Palestinians.

The settings on this page governing the activities of the archival bot previously read:

I have changed them to:

Wikipedia provides some reasonably clear Talk page guidelines. One of the sections within the guidelines concerns: When to condense pages. It says: "It is recommended to archive or refactor a page either when it exceeds 16 KB, or has more than 10 main sections". At the point of this edit the page contained 11.9 KB The time setting remain at a very healthy 90 days. Gregkaye ( talk) 15:32, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Jonney2000, rather than edit warring, please explain how on earth a blog under a pseudonym can be WP:RS. Not to mention one that includes such absurd statements such as:
These are obvious red flags of low quality pseudo-journalism.

I find there is some ill-conceived language going on in this paragraph, let me quote it and explain:
By medieval standards, conditions for Jews under Islam were generally more formalized and better than those of Jews in Christian lands, in part due to the sharing of minority status with Christians in these lands. There is evidence for this claim in that the status of Jews in lands with no Christian minority was usually worse than their status in lands with one. For example, there were numerous incidents of massacres and ethnic cleansing of Jews in North Africa,[11] especially in Morocco, Libya and Algeria where eventually Jews were forced to live in ghettos.[12] Decrees ordering the destruction of synagogues were enacted in the Middle Ages in Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.[13] At certain times in Yemen, Morocco and Baghdad, Jews were forced to convert to Islam or face death.[14]
The first two sentences speak of two distinct subjects, but the second one syntactically references the sub-sentence added by comma to the first, regarding the following examples as evidence for its thesis. Maybe it's just because I'm not a native speaker, but I was very much inclined to assume the second sentence, beginning with "there is evidence for this claim in that [...]", would refer to the thesis of the primary sentence, not to the proposed explanatory idea. Mainly because the first sentence raises the comparison of christian and muslim countries, but the further paragraph deals exclusively with the situation in muslim countries.
So here is what I would do: the first sentence lacks a citation, and should be ended before the comma. I'd then go on something like this: "A possible reason for this might be the sharing of minority status with Christians in predominantly muslim countries. There is evindence for this claim in that [...]" Then one might argue that this rewrite should have a citation for this claim not to be suspected original research, while the examples of course still hold. In case this was original research, I would just make it a paragraph about the atrocities and try to build one up for the comparative situation thingy of Jews in christian vs. Jews in muslim countries and the academic discourse on that.
I'd go ahead, but obviously the article is closed. Best wishes
