Bishara is active supporter for Arab anti-Jewish terror.

I'm glad that some efforts have been made to create a page on Azmi Bishara, but the material that is there, while substantative, is poorly written. I tried to fix some of it and may work on more in the future, but reorganization of the article should be a priority. -- Jakob Huneycutt 14:05, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
He was born to a Christian family but is he Christian or Muslim or what?
I found out, he's a Christian.
I have remove the term "Palestinian Israeli" because it is a political term for an Israeli Arab. Jon513 17:18, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
I think it would be best to put his identity as he refers to himself, and I'm pretty sure it's not as an "Israeli Arab". In this article [1], he uses the term "Arab citizen of Israel" and explains his position for that choice, which might be worth including in the article. Tiamut 17:22, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure that I follow why this has been given an "unsourced" template, given the sources reflected in the links, which support the article. -- Epeefleche 15:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I could not find information about his tenure at the Van Leer Institute in the Van Leer website. This is a shame, and i hope someone else manages to find it and replace the current reference (from the Adalah bio) with it. Itayb 17:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
I have a biography of bishara in arabic where it states that he worked in van leer [2] its an extract of the archive.org from balad old official site.. there new site doesn't have this (or at leat i didn't find it). Bishara left van leer in 96 (according to the biography) and their site states only the current sraff. Histolo2 12:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

"Bishara is responsible for many of the major concepts of debate in public and political life of Israel." (my emphasis) Please replace claim by concrete evidence. I don't see how the words "many" and "major" can be objectively asserted in this context, but i dare anyone to prove me wrong. 18:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
In the "Political Career" section the (online?) magazine israelinsider is quoted as a source. I've never heard of this magazine. This doesn't necessarily mean that it is not a popular and reliable magazine, but i'd like to be presented with some circulation statistics, or evidence that this magazine is quoted in better known magazines, in order to accept it as a reliable source. Alternatively, i'd like these links to be replaced by links to articles published by Yediot Aharonot, Ma'ariv, Haaretz or the Jerusalem Post, or by a notable non-Israeli newspaper/magazine.

Israel Insider is self-funded and self-sustaining thanks to ads, sales of our Israel's Story in Maps interactive flash collection, and direct mails. [[User: Reuven Koret [Reuven Koret]] 02:39, 15 February 2007 (IST)
I don't know whether the user identifying himself as Reuven Koren is genuine. If so, i find it quite exciting that a person of his calibre took the time to comment in this talk page; yesterday morning i couldn't have easily imagine circumstances under which i would be engaged in a professional debate with Mr. Koret. It just goes to show how influencial Wikipedia is conceived to be. In any case it doesn't really matter whether this user is genuine or not, because one doesn't have to put one's trust on a stranger's word when one can easily verify the relevant information by oneself. I've done some research on Koren publishing and israelinsider, and here's what i've come up with:
"Reuven Koret is CEO of Tel Aviv-based Koret Communications Ltd. (koret.com ) and Content Markets in the US. After creating, with Harvard University partners, Africana.com as the premier cultural and educational portal for African-descent populations, and selling it to AOL Time Warner, Koret Communications has focused on creating a network of content and community sites for Jewish and Israeli organizations and publishers, including Israel Insider , Jewsweek, ISRAEL21c, birthright israel, Avi Chai Foundation, Jewish Content, and soon-to-be-launched sites for The Jerusalem Post and The Jerusalem Report." - [4]
This short bio is taken from a page which seems to be describing the members constituting a working group set up by the European non-for-profit organization Minerva. It is consistent with the Koret Communications company's portfolio found on their website http://www.koret.com/.
Koret Communications is behind the French edition of the Jerusalem Post. Take the following steps to verify this matter:
According to Koret Communications' portfolio presented in their site, israelinsider is one of their projects. This is supported by the israelinsider site:
There are also indications that Koret Communications is closely associated with the Avi Chai Foundation, which is responsible for the current Israeli "Tsav Pius" campaign and is strongly involved in the production of the current prime-time TV series "Merhak Negi'a".
Reviewing the projects in Koret Communications' portfolio, they do seem to be taking Jewish-Religious, a-priori-pro-Israel attitude. To illustrate the second point, the Israel Insider is described in the KC porfolio thus: "israelinsider [...] is committed to communicating balanced and accurate information about Israel, relating to her conflicts, and celebrating the successes, innovations and contributions of her people." Even ignoring the "celebrating the successes" etc. part of the sentence, the fact that Israel is referred to in English as "her" may be indicative of bias. However, even if Israel Insider has biased interpretation of the facts, it doesn't mean that its reporters don't get the facts rights in the first place (those they do choose to report about), and therefore their articles may be considered reliable sources of information.
To sum up. Israel Insider is produced by Koret Communications LTD, which is a notable firm that has managed significant projects, such as the development of the Africana.com site (in the past) and the production of the French edition of the Jerusalem Post (presently). Israel Insider seems to be tending to the Jewish-religious, and to be taking an a-priori sympathetic approach to Israel.
Does the fact that Israel Insider is produced by a big player such as Koret Communications mean that it's a popular and reliable source of information? I suggest to take this matter to some larger forum of Wikipedians in order to establish consensus. I suggest taking this to the members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Israel. In fact, i'd like to request that they compile a (not exhaustive, and not binding) list of newspapers, magazines and organizations, whose publications can be used as reliable sources of information in Israel-related articles. Itayb 12:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
As to Abu Ali's questions, 1) I'm not sure their street address is relevant unless he is going to visit -- if it is to verify who the sender is, he can also email the publication; 2) I don't see the relevance of the number of staff working on the website for inclusion in Wikipedia, and 3) do we require information as to how readership numbers are "audited" of any other source we cite in Wikipedia? I would guess not. I do think that these questions are starting to stray a little. -- Epeefleche 13:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Itay's research is partial but mostly correct. I should add that in addition to celebrating Israel's success we also vocally criticize her follies. As for calling Israel "her" -- I guess I think of the country more as a lady.... although I suppose that was just a momentary gloss.
We rely on HBX Analytics for our raw numbers. Nice system. Our Alexa rank floats between 60,000 and 90,000. Africana.com by the way is now AOL Black Voices.
We are a small company in the heart of Tel Aviv: a handful of people, privately funded. The opportunity to interact with pursuers of knowledge, whether supporters or critics, critical supporters or supportive critics, is my pleasure and livelihood.

The map of a-Ram, which i gave a reference to, might well be challenged as politically biased. It appears on the site of the Israeli activist organization "B'Tselem", and depicts the Separation Barrier around a-Ram. My only excuse for linking to it is this: i could not find an alternative map of a-Ram anywhere else, neither online nor in the very detailed hard-copy maps of Israel i have at home. If anyone finds a more "neutral" map depicting a-Ram, please feel free to replace this reference. Itayb 22:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
1. I would suggest that proper usage is for all footnotes to precede commas and periods (though they should follow semicolons).
2. The phrase "According to" is used repeatedly, and no doubt if citations are supplied for the rest of the article would be used even more. Query whether this is necessary or appropriate, where the reference is footnoted -- especially when there is no evidence of a different view as to the fact in question. No doubt, otherwise, we could start every sentence in this article, and others, with that lead-in, which might not add to ease of reading. -- Epeefleche 22:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

No doubt the current developments in Bishara's are important and in due time will have to be mentioned in the article. But right now, they are nothing but descriptions of plans, expected future events and speculations regarding the background of these events. This is certainly newsworthy, and would surely be welcome in WikiNews. But Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; not a news agency. An encyclopedia reports about well-established facts, not about speculated future events.
I request all editors to have a bit more patience. A few more days are all that's required before speculation become (or not) facts. Only then will they be eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia. In the mean time, there is WikiNews. Please also bear in mind: Wikipedia is not about truth; it's about explicit and direct attribution to reliable secondary sources (see the Attribution policy). Thanks. Itayb 10:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

i've moved down the 3 versions of saying "azmi bishara" into a seperate section here: [16] so that the into would look more legible: [17] compared to [18]
regardless that it looks a tad better on Explorer, i can testify that there's a world of difference on Firefox - i think it's counter productive and clogs up the intro if 3 Listen files are placed like that. Jaakobou 11:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
compare it with the far cleaner Yasser Arafat article - and there's so much more info about arafat. Jaakobou 14:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't think many people would presume the reasoning for the change by Number 57 from "Arab member of the Knesset" to "Israeli Arab" which was: "original phrasing could suggest some non-MK Arabs could have run." however, i do think that the change results in an ommission of information. Jaakobou 09:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Now you're talking business. Now you can write about Bishara's reasons for withdrawing from the race, citing the reliable source. But please be sure not to present this as a fact: we don't know if this was in fact the reason Bishara withdrew from the race. All we know is that this what he said. Itayb 16:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't see any point in the ommission of information (date, basic backgroud) from the image. Jaakobou 09:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree the referencing system is untidy and inconsistent currently, but it is a far cry from a "gigantic mess", as Jaacobou's put it ( [21]). It is i who created this referencing system. Bishara was the first article i edited seriously, and i was groping my way to find the best referencing system. The article reflects my experiments. I now have a much more solid idea of how a referencing system should look like. You can see a representative example at Pearse Jordan (look at the underlying code too, for both the references and the citations, and see how the footnotes look like). That's how i'd like the Bishara article to be, too.
(More in an hour or so)...
Itayb 11:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
(continuing...)
Basically the referencing system i prefer is the one described
here. It consists of 1. a References section, listing all the works in alphabetical order, and 2. inline citations in the form of footnotes, gathered in a Notes section. (Footnoting is the least obtrusive method available in Wikipedia to do direct inline citation, and i espouse the
widely supported
Attribution policy proposal, in that i believe that "Material added to articles must be directly and explicitly supported by the cited sources." (original emphasis))
Additionally, every item in the References section is enclosed in a "wikicite" template, and all footnote citations are enclosed in a "wikiref" template. This way, when a reader clicks the citation, the page automatically jumps to the corresponding reference.
Number57 asked: "why there is a need to separate the notes and references". There are (at least) three good reasons for this separation:
As for how to format the references: i tend to follow the MLA style.
As i wrote before, the article Pearse Jordan is currently a good example for the way this system is supposed to work. Itayb 13:44, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
1.
2. So we agree that the scheme i described is more efficient.
3.
As for the funny letter you've seen in the Pearse Jordan article, the whole point is, it was used with respect to a source, which is a legal document. Anyhow, it has nothing to do with the referencing scheme. Itayb 22:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Finally, i'd like to stress, that i don't think the current Bishara references section is good. The reason i mentioned the Pearse Jordan article is to show how the scheme works when it is applied consistently, but in the Bishara case, it is applied only semi-consistently. Practically speaking, you can add references any way you like; i'll make sure to format them properly. You can even simply insert a link inline and leave it at that. I'll do the rest.

The phrasing in the first paragraph suggests that when he resigned from the Knesset, he also resigned as head of Balad. To my knowledge, he is still party leader. Does anyone else have any info? Number 5 7 08:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I strongly object to Jauerbach's deleting my external link to a blog post I wrote about Azmi Bishara during the recent spy scandal [22]. My blog is an authoritative, well-source publication about the Israeli-Arab conflict. The link I provided benefits me in no way commercially or otherwise. My blog was the sole source for information about the spy scandal anywhere at a time when Israeli publications could not publish in any detail about the matter due to censorship rules. The blog post contains information I received fr. Israeli journalists in confidence. The purpose of adding this link was to provide a source for Wikipedians who wish to read more in depth background on this incident. I hope that anyone who has a problem with this link will communicate further with me about this before reverting it. Richard ( talk) 06:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
I changed the opening sentence to something that makes more sense. I feel it's unneccesary to state that he's both an MK and a Citizen. To the best of my knowladge, MKs must be Israeli citizens, and this is something normal in most countries. Can we remove the sentence "Bishara holds an Israeli citizenship"?

if at all this is needed it should be an encyclopedic mention of the themes he touches on, perhaps name a few major books and the controversy/theme of those. Right now it reads like an attempt to merge external links (which they are) into the article to get by w/o violation WP:EL. As for the book list, it reads like an advert to make a sale for these books, as well as [possibly] blending in Further readings into the article. Could use a cleanup for sure. Lihaas ( talk) 21:21, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
From article linked below:
Bishara, who resigned from the Knesset and fled the country in 2007 just when Israeli Security Services were ready to arrest him on charges of treason and espionage, is shown in the video reiterating his Arab nationalist position that there is no such thing as a “Palestinian” people. Yehuda Katz, who leads ZFA in the largely anti-Israel Bay Area of northern California, told Israel National News that people should really investigate the basic claims of the Middle East conflict before expressing strong opinions.“History did not start in 1967. We, the modern day Hebrews, have almost a 4,000 year old history and an uninterrupted presence in our homeland for over 3,300 years. The Palestinian nation was invented in the 1960s by Yassir Arafat and Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu in an attempt to erase our history and steal our land. These facts cannot be ignored any longer. ‘Palestine’ was initially a foreign colonialist concept invented by the Romans who massacred, exiled and enslaved the Jewish people. It is not an authentic Arab identity.” and steal our land. These facts cannot be ignored any longer. ‘Palestine’ was and steal our land. These facts cannot be ignored any longer. ‘Palestine’ was initially a foreign colonialist concept invented by the Romans who massacred, exiled and enslaved the Jewish people.

Hi all, I have made a major modification to the article depending on different sources (some of them are close to Bishara and other are not), knowing that using some close sources to trust some basic information (i.e. his life and career) is not forbidden!

@ Zeidan87: You're not actually allowed to edit this article as per the WP:ARBPIA3#500/30 rule. However, I agree that your changes were quite problematic.

@ Icewhiz: your reverts undid a change to the Israeli allegations against him, and Azmi's response to them. Don't see any mention of that in your edits, so I will restore it. Al-Andalusi ( talk) 06:59, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Bishara has long denied the allegations and says he will not return to Israel as he believes he will not receive a fair trial.. Icewhiz ( talk) 07:13, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
The Israeli allegations constitute a BLP violation given that Azmi was not convicted in a court. So having that material in the lede is questionable to begin with. Not to mention, there is an undue amount of weight given to the Israeli allegations mentioning each and every detail from the Israeli side.

I was contacted by Zeidan87 to help incorporate some of the changes he's made to this article in his sandbox after reviewing them. I started with a non-controversial change: changing the infobox, but was reverted minutes later by Number_57. While I do appreciate the reasoning made, that his MK status is the most significant one, I do not agree with replacing a much better formatted infobox that provides much more information about a person by one that may be well suited for one-off MKs. -- Fjmustak ( talk) 18:09, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

This is a re-post of the earlier edit request (see above) made over six months ago by Zeidan87. The proposed edits were posted a while back at User:Zeidan87/sandbox and have been little reviewed by the community. Apart from comments by Eggishorn, the proposed draft has been dismissed upon few, unspecific remarks and is yet to be properly resolved. I am re-opening this discussion at the request of user Zeidan87 -- Abbad ( talk) 21:06, 11 October 2018 (UTC).
In the article there's a citation from D.Friedmanns book regarding Bishara. "he called for promoting the armed struggle ("The resistance") against Israel". Now, prof' Friedmann as far as I know, isn't fluent in Arabic, and has no intelligence background; yet, someone chose Friedmann's interpretation instead of Bishara's own words. What I find quite ironic is that the quote itself unravels the manipulation Friedmann allows himself to do to Bishara's words ("resistance" turns to "armed struggle"). The fact is that the Israeli supreme court has examined (2 years after the mentioned unlawful declaration) allegations against Bishara regarding support of armed struggle against the state, and Bishara been cleared of all allegations. I suggest deleting the citation. Dovole ( talk) 22:27, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
It should be said immediately, that we accept that the actions attributed to MK Bishara in the matter of rejecting the existence of the state of Israel as a Jewish state and in the matter of supporting the armed struggle against it stand at the center of his goals and actions, and they constitute for him a dominant objective. Furthermore, these actions are not a theoretical idea, but rather a political potential that MK Bishara as taken from theory into practice in ongoing activity, and with great force".Icewhiz ( talk) 06:48, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Please remove the misleading, bias and manipulated quote. Dovole ( talk) 11:35, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Probably I shouldn't comment without spending more time in research, but if this is reference to HCJ 11225/03 some of the claims above do not match the actual judgment very well. An official English translation is here. According to the majority judgment, Bishara expressed support for Hezbollah but did not express support for an armed struggle by Hezbollah against Israel. The entire judgement is based on this distinction. Friedmann might have a different opinion on what Bishara called for, but if he claims support from the Supreme Court for "called for promoting the armed struggle" he is claiming the opposite of what the court ruled.

Instead of saying the person is "Israeli Arab", you need to change it to "Palestinian citizen of Israel". The Palestinian minority in Israel have a right to self-identification, and they simply don't want to be identified as "Israeli Arabs". This naming is actually offensive!
All Arab political parties in Israel call themselves Palestinians in Israel and all documents from the non-government and major non-profits call themselves Arabs Palestinians citizens of Israel, not even one major Non-profit call themselves "Israeli Arabs". Please, respect that and change the naming. Thank you! Waseem89a ( talk) 20:24, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm glad that some efforts have been made to create a page on Azmi Bishara, but the material that is there, while substantative, is poorly written.

I think it would be best to put his identity as he refers to himself, and I'm pretty sure it's not as an "Israeli Arab". In this article [1], he uses the term "Arab citizen of Israel" and explains his position for that choice, which might be worth including in the article. Tiamut 17:22, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

In the "Political Career" section the (online?) magazine israelinsider is quoted as a source. I've never heard of this magazine. This doesn't necessarily mean that it is not a popular and reliable magazine, but i'd like to be presented with some circulation statistics, or evidence that this magazine is quoted in better known magazines, in order to accept it as a reliable source. Alternatively, i'd like these links to be replaced by links to articles published by Yediot Aharonot, Ma'ariv, Haaretz or the Jerusalem Post, or by a notable non-Israeli newspaper/magazine.

Israel Insider is self-funded and self-sustaining thanks to ads, sales of our Israel's Story in Maps interactive flash collection, and direct mails. [[User: Reuven Koret [Reuven Koret]] 02:39, 15 February 2007 (IST)
I don't know whether the user identifying himself as Reuven Koren is genuine. If so, i find it quite exciting that a person of his calibre took the time to comment in this talk page; yesterday morning i couldn't have easily imagine circumstances under which i would be engaged in a professional debate with Mr. Koret. It just goes to show how influencial Wikipedia is conceived to be. In any case it doesn't really matter whether this user is genuine or not, because one doesn't have to put one's trust on a stranger's word when one can easily verify the relevant information by oneself. I've done some research on Koren publishing and israelinsider, and here's what i've come up with:
"Reuven Koret is CEO of Tel Aviv-based Koret Communications Ltd. (koret.com ) and Content Markets in the US. After creating, with Harvard University partners, Africana.com as the premier cultural and educational portal for African-descent populations, and selling it to AOL Time Warner, Koret Communications has focused on creating a network of content and community sites for Jewish and Israeli organizations and publishers, including Israel Insider , Jewsweek, ISRAEL21c, birthright israel, Avi Chai Foundation, Jewish Content, and soon-to-be-launched sites for The Jerusalem Post and The Jerusalem Report." - [4]
This short bio is taken from a page which seems to be describing the members constituting a working group set up by the European non-for-profit organization Minerva. It is consistent with the Koret Communications company's portfolio found on their website http://www.koret.com/.
Koret Communications is behind the French edition of the Jerusalem Post. Take the following steps to verify this matter:
According to Koret Communications' portfolio presented in their site, israelinsider is one of their projects. This is supported by the israelinsider site:
There are also indications that Koret Communications is closely associated with the Avi Chai Foundation, which is responsible for the current Israeli "Tsav Pius" campaign and is strongly involved in the production of the current prime-time TV series "Merhak Negi'a".
Reviewing the projects in Koret Communications' portfolio, they do seem to be taking Jewish-Religious, a-priori-pro-Israel attitude. To illustrate the second point, the Israel Insider is described in the KC porfolio thus: "israelinsider [...] is committed to communicating balanced and accurate information about Israel, relating to her conflicts, and celebrating the successes, innovations and contributions of her people." Even ignoring the "celebrating the successes" etc. part of the sentence, the fact that Israel is referred to in English as "her" may be indicative of bias. However, even if Israel Insider has biased interpretation of the facts, it doesn't mean that its reporters don't get the facts rights in the first place (those they do choose to report about), and therefore their articles may be considered reliable sources of information.
To sum up. Israel Insider is produced by Koret Communications LTD, which is a notable firm that has managed significant projects, such as the development of the Africana.com site (in the past) and the production of the French edition of the Jerusalem Post (presently). Israel Insider seems to be tending to the Jewish-religious, and to be taking an a-priori sympathetic approach to Israel.
Does the fact that Israel Insider is produced by a big player such as Koret Communications mean that it's a popular and reliable source of information? I suggest to take this matter to some larger forum of Wikipedians in order to establish consensus. I suggest taking this to the members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Israel. In fact, i'd like to request that they compile a (not exhaustive, and not binding) list of newspapers, magazines and organizations, whose publications can be used as reliable sources of information in Israel-related articles. Itayb 12:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
As to Abu Ali's questions, 1) I'm not sure their street address is relevant unless he is going to visit -- if it is to verify who the sender is, he can also email the publication; 2) I don't see the relevance of the number of staff working on the website for inclusion in Wikipedia, and 3) do we require information as to how readership numbers are "audited" of any other source we cite in Wikipedia? I would guess not. I do think that these questions are starting to stray a little. -- Epeefleche 13:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Itay's research is partial but mostly correct. I should add that in addition to celebrating Israel's success we also vocally criticize her follies. As for calling Israel "her" -- I guess I think of the country more as a lady.... although I suppose that was just a momentary gloss.
We rely on HBX Analytics for our raw numbers. Nice system. Our Alexa rank floats between 60,000 and 90,000. Africana.com by the way is now AOL Black Voices.
We are a small company in the heart of Tel Aviv: a handful of people, privately funded. The opportunity to interact with pursuers of knowledge, whether supporters or critics, critical supporters or supportive critics, is my pleasure and livelihood.

The map of a-Ram, which i gave a reference to, might well be challenged as politically biased. It appears on the site of the Israeli activist organization "B'Tselem", and depicts the Separation Barrier around a-Ram. My only excuse for linking to it is this: i could not find an alternative map of a-Ram anywhere else, neither online nor in the very detailed hard-copy maps of Israel i have at home. If anyone finds a more "neutral" map depicting a-Ram, please feel free to replace this reference. Itayb 22:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
1. I would suggest that proper usage is for all footnotes to precede commas and periods (though they should follow semicolons).
2. The phrase "According to" is used repeatedly, and no doubt if citations are supplied for the rest of the article would be used even more. Query whether this is necessary or appropriate, where the reference is footnoted -- especially when there is no evidence of a different view as to the fact in question. No doubt, otherwise, we could start every sentence in this article, and others, with that lead-in, which might not add to ease of reading. -- Epeefleche 22:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

No doubt the current developments in Bishara's are important and in due time will have to be mentioned in the article. But right now, they are nothing but descriptions of plans, expected future events and speculations regarding the background of these events. This is certainly newsworthy, and would surely be welcome in WikiNews. But Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; not a news agency. An encyclopedia reports about well-established facts, not about speculated future events.
I request all editors to have a bit more patience. A few more days are all that's required before speculation become (or not) facts. Only then will they be eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia. In the mean time, there is WikiNews. Please also bear in mind: Wikipedia is not about truth; it's about explicit and direct attribution to reliable secondary sources (see the Attribution policy). Thanks. Itayb 10:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

i've moved down the 3 versions of saying "azmi bishara" into a seperate section here: [16] so that the into would look more legible: [17] compared to [18]
regardless that it looks a tad better on Explorer, i can testify that there's a world of difference on Firefox - i think it's counter productive and clogs up the intro if 3 Listen files are placed like that. Jaakobou 11:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
compare it with the far cleaner Yasser Arafat article - and there's so much more info about arafat. Jaakobou 14:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't think many people would presume the reasoning for the change by Number 57 from "Arab member of the Knesset" to "Israeli Arab" which was: "original phrasing could suggest some non-MK Arabs could have run." however, i do think that the change results in an ommission of information. Jaakobou 09:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Now you're talking business. Now you can write about Bishara's reasons for withdrawing from the race, citing the reliable source. But please be sure not to present this as a fact: we don't know if this was in fact the reason Bishara withdrew from the race. All we know is that this what he said. Itayb 16:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't see any point in the ommission of information (date, basic backgroud) from the image. Jaakobou 09:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree the referencing system is untidy and inconsistent currently, but it is a far cry from a "gigantic mess", as Jaacobou's put it ( [21]). It is i who created this referencing system. Bishara was the first article i edited seriously, and i was groping my way to find the best referencing system. The article reflects my experiments. I now have a much more solid idea of how a referencing system should look like. You can see a representative example at Pearse Jordan (look at the underlying code too, for both the references and the citations, and see how the footnotes look like). That's how i'd like the Bishara article to be, too.
(More in an hour or so)...
Itayb 11:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
(continuing...)
Basically the referencing system i prefer is the one described
here. It consists of 1. a References section, listing all the works in alphabetical order, and 2. inline citations in the form of footnotes, gathered in a Notes section. (Footnoting is the least obtrusive method available in Wikipedia to do direct inline citation, and i espouse the
widely supported
Attribution policy proposal, in that i believe that "Material added to articles must be directly and explicitly supported by the cited sources." (original emphasis))
Additionally, every item in the References section is enclosed in a "wikicite" template, and all footnote citations are enclosed in a "wikiref" template. This way, when a reader clicks the citation, the page automatically jumps to the corresponding reference.
Number57 asked: "why there is a need to separate the notes and references". There are (at least) three good reasons for this separation:
As for how to format the references: i tend to follow the MLA style.
As i wrote before, the article Pearse Jordan is currently a good example for the way this system is supposed to work. Itayb 13:44, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
1.
2. So we agree that the scheme i described is more efficient.
3.
As for the funny letter you've seen in the Pearse Jordan article, the whole point is, it was used with respect to a source, which is a legal document. Anyhow, it has nothing to do with the referencing scheme. Itayb 22:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Finally, i'd like to stress, that i don't think the current Bishara references section is good. The reason i mentioned the Pearse Jordan article is to show how the scheme works when it is applied consistently, but in the Bishara case, it is applied only semi-consistently. Practically speaking, you can add references any way you like; i'll make sure to format them properly. You can even simply insert a link inline and leave it at that. I'll do the rest. Itayb 22:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

The phrasing in the first paragraph suggests that when he resigned from the Knesset, he also resigned as head of Balad. To my knowledge, he is still party leader. Does anyone else have any info? Number 5 7 08:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I strongly object to Jauerbach's deleting my external link to a blog post I wrote about Azmi Bishara during the recent spy scandal [22]. My blog is an authoritative, well-source publication about the Israeli-Arab conflict. The link I provided benefits me in no way commercially or otherwise. My blog was the sole source for information about the spy scandal anywhere at a time when Israeli publications could not publish in any detail about the matter due to censorship rules. The blog post contains information I received fr. Israeli journalists in confidence. The purpose of adding this link was to provide a source for Wikipedians who wish to read more in depth background on this incident. I hope that anyone who has a problem with this link will communicate further with me about this before reverting it. Richard ( talk) 06:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
I changed the opening sentence to something that makes more sense. I feel it's unneccesary to state that he's both an MK and a Citizen.

if at all this is needed it should be an encyclopedic mention of the themes he touches on, perhaps name a few major books and the controversy/theme of those. Right now it reads like an attempt to merge external links (which they are) into the article to get by w/o violation WP:EL. As for the book list, it reads like an advert to make a sale for these books, as well as [possibly] blending in Further readings into the article. Could use a cleanup for sure.

From article linked below:
Bishara, who resigned from the Knesset and fled the country in 2007 just when Israeli Security Services were ready to arrest him on charges of treason and espionage, is shown in the video reiterating his Arab nationalist position that there is no such thing as a “Palestinian” people. Yehuda Katz, who leads ZFA in the largely anti-Israel Bay Area of northern California, told Israel National News that people should really investigate the basic claims of the Middle East conflict before expressing strong opinions.“History did not start in 1967. We, the modern day Hebrews, have almost a 4,000 year old history and an uninterrupted presence in our homeland for over 3,300 years. The Palestinian nation was invented in the 1960s by Yassir Arafat and Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu in an attempt to erase our history and steal our land. These facts cannot be ignored any longer. ‘Palestine’ was initially a foreign colonialist concept invented by the Romans who massacred, exiled and enslaved the Jewish people. It is not an authentic Arab identity.” and steal our land. These facts cannot be ignored any longer. ‘Palestine’ was and steal our land.

Bishara has long denied the allegations and says he will not return to Israel as he believes he will not receive a fair trial.. Icewhiz ( talk) 07:13, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
The Israeli allegations constitute a BLP violation given that Azmi was not convicted in a court. So having that material in the lede is questionable to begin with. Not to mention, there is an undue amount of weight given to the Israeli allegations mentioning each and every detail from the Israeli side.

I was contacted by Zeidan87 to help incorporate some of the changes he's made to this article in his sandbox after reviewing them. I started with a non-controversial change: changing the infobox, but was reverted minutes later by Number_57. While I do appreciate the reasoning made, that his MK status is the most significant one, I do not agree with replacing a much better formatted infobox that provides much more information about a person by one that may be well suited for one-off MKs. -- Fjmustak ( talk) 18:09, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

This is a re-post of the earlier edit request (see above) made over six months ago by Zeidan87.

In the article there's a citation from D.Friedmanns book regarding Bishara. "he called for promoting the armed struggle ("The resistance") against Israel". Now, prof' Friedmann as far as I know, isn't fluent in Arabic, and has no intelligence background; yet, someone chose Friedmann's interpretation instead of Bishara's own words. What I find quite ironic is that the quote itself unravels the manipulation Friedmann allows himself to do to Bishara's words ("resistance" turns to "armed struggle"). The fact is that the Israeli supreme court has examined (2 years after the mentioned unlawful declaration) allegations against Bishara regarding support of armed struggle against the state, and Bishara been cleared of all allegations.

It should be said immediately, that we accept that the actions attributed to MK Bishara in the matter of rejecting the existence of the state of Israel as a Jewish state and in the matter of supporting the armed struggle against it stand at the center of his goals and actions, and they constitute for him a dominant objective. Furthermore, these actions are not a theoretical idea, but rather a political potential that MK Bishara as taken from theory into practice in ongoing activity, and with great force".Icewhiz ( talk) 06:48, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Please remove the misleading, bias and manipulated quote. Dovole ( talk) 11:35, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Probably I shouldn't comment without spending more time in research, but if this is reference to HCJ 11225/03 some of the claims above do not match the actual judgment very well. An official English translation is here. According to the majority judgment, Bishara expressed support for Hezbollah but did not express support for an armed struggle by Hezbollah against Israel. The entire judgement is based on this distinction. Friedmann might have a different opinion on what Bishara called for, but if he claims support from the Supreme Court for "called for promoting the armed struggle" he is claiming the opposite of what the court ruled.

ייאמר מיד: מקובל עלינו כי המעשים המיוחסים לח"כ בשארה לעניין שלילת קיומה של מדינת ישראל כמדינה יהודית ולעניין תמיכה במאבק מזויין נגדה מונחים במרכז מטרותיו ופעולותיו של ח"כ בשארה, והם מהווים יעד שליט של ח"כ בשארה. זאת ועוד: מעשים אלה אינם רעיון תאורטי, אלא פוטנציאל פוליטי שח"כ בשארה הוציא אותו מהכוח אל הפועל, בפעילות חוזרת ונשנית, ומתוך עוצמה רבה..

Change "Israeli Arab" to "Palestinian" in opening line of Wikipedia article. Azmi Bishara is factually of Palestinian origin, not Israeli. Obeshara ( talk) 09:03, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Instead of saying the person is "Israeli Arab", you need to change it to "Palestinian citizen of Israel". The Palestinian minority in Israel have a right to self-identification, and they simply don't want to be identified as "Israeli Arabs". This naming is actually offensive!
All Arab political parties in Israel call themselves Palestinians in Israel and all documents from the non-government and major non-profits call themselves Arabs Palestinians citizens of Israel, not even one major Non-profit call themselves "Israeli Arabs". Please, respect that and change the naming. Thank you! Waseem89a ( talk) 20:24, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
