Why does the article have a lengthy section outlining Freedland's supposed views? He's just a journalist and columnist, not some great philosopher. Despite being so long, the section misses a number of important areas - he's a remainer activist and writes lots of anguished stuff for The New European, for example. If the section is to remain at all, it really only needs to say he's a moderate Zionist, has centre left political views, and has advocated the abolition of the UK monarchy. -- Ef80 ( talk) 15:03, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
There is a large amount of overlap between the 2 articles, neither of them lengthy. We have a single article on Eleanor Hibbert, who wrote under several pseudonyms. PatGallacher ( talk) 19:57, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
The article extensively covers Freedland's views on "Israel, Zionism and antisemitism". Various criticisms have been made of those views and Freedland's influence on the way those subjects are covered by The Guardian, for example, by Blake Alcott [1], Ben White [2], David Cronin [3], Jonathan Cook [4] [5] and Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi [6]. ← ZScarpia 13:49, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Should we add something about the subject of this page mixing up two Muslim men, calling the wrong one (a prospective Labour candidate) anti-Semitic based on a 'reliable Labour source', tweeting it out, and it being reported on the Guardian's website? He's tweeted out a correction and the Guardian has reported "Reports of a fourth Labour potential parliamentary candidate being identified as having made antisemitic comments have proven false. We earlier shared on the blog a tweet from the Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland which identified a shortlisted candidate from Birmingham Hall Green as having been fined over comments made on Facebook. Freedland has since deleted his tweets and replaced it with this correction." https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2019/nov/08/general-election-parties-unveil-plans-amid-spending-warnings-live-news 83.218.151.178 ( talk) 16:29, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
THREE non-fiction books written, not two. The Escape Artist has been added to the bibliography list but is not included in the numerical summary in the Author section. Horseshoe123 ( talk) 05:52, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
I read in this section that "Freedland approves of Keir Starmer's support for genocide."
Yeah, that's what it says. Someone who knows the ref might want to clarify, eh? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C6:4300:B8C0:A1B9:C2BC:AD44:D186 ( talk) 02:35, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

This is an encyclopedia not a space for sophomoric essays on the flaws or otherwise of Zionism - the lines about the GDR, for instance, don't belong here and should be removed by editors as little better than vandalism. 2A02:C7C:37D6:C100:C5A3:79EA:5264:9707 ( talk) 15:04, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
