Thanks for the heads-up. I think, however, that you have participated in creating a striking inconsistency at the Israel Shahak article. Another editor (Jayjg) removed a link to "Israel and Anti-Gentile Traditions," with the comment "the link is about the book, not about Shahak," (which I think is a very poor reason, as I noted on the talk page of the article), but when, for reasons of consistency, I removed the links to The Interpretational Errors of Israel Shahak and The Jews are Bad! (which I think are less scholarly, more poorly written, and more biased than the other article, and which are also reviews of the book rather than comments directly about Israel Shahak), you restored them. And, I note, you also repeated (unintentionally? It was coincident with another edit you made) the deletion of the link I added. Surely, if links that are about the book do not belong, then all three links should go; but if links that are about the book are admissable, then no legitimate reason has been given for the deletion of the link that I added. Could you please make sure your actions are consistent, either by restoring the link I added or by deleting the other two, or, in the absence of that, please explain at the talk page of the article why you think the two anti-Shahak book reviews belong but the neutral-on-Shahak book review does not belong?

For the sake of the size of the main article (already overlong) and some kind of chance at peace, please move this line to the Martin Luther and the Jews article. It will save adding another paragraph to balance that opinion, since there are a number of Luther scholars who repeadly quote Luther rejecting the Blood Libel.

Hi! I like the work you have done on the Ras Burqa Massacre page; however, in the process of some typo editing, I (and others, as shown on the talk page) came to feel that the balance of the coverage of the "opposition" Islamic reaction to the issue and other Islamic reactions to the issue may be a little one sided. Could you maybe take a look at this? I can also do so, if you do not have the time. Thanks much! Enordgren 20:55, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Beit Or, I just wanted to request your participation in finding some suitable resolution on Religious antisemitism. If you'd offer your thoughts, I think it would really help. Otherwise, I'll simply try again, but if people keep reverting, I don't see anywhere else I can go other than WP:3RR or WP:AN/I.

Aloha, Beit Or. With the upfront caveat that I was not the author (nor do I have any idea who it was), I'm curious why you reverted the text posted by 172.129.70.39. As an outside, disinterested reader, it didn't seem like POV pushing to me at all, but rather additional and possibly relevant information. Seems to me that more information (as long as it is accurately reported and sourced, which this was) is better than less, especially when the original text seemed to give an inadequate accounting of other evidentiary sources. Cheers. Arjuna 11:00, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Beit Or, thanks for your comments, and particularly for pointing out the singularly obvious that this is an article on Khazars, not Ashkenazim. However, as you know, the meme that “Jews are decended from Khazars” exists willy-nilly, and thus the issue is a relevant one. As one who was aware of this meme, I sought out the article simply seeking accurate, objective information with which to assess its merit or lack thereof. I do find it somewhat perplexing that this issue is clearly seen by some (many?) as fraught with political implications. Despite the Koestler view also being espoused by some with various anti-Israel political agendas, to a disinterested observer this is rather confusing, since, as the article accurately points out, it is decidedly un-pernicious either to the Jewish people or the cause of the State of Israel.
However -- and just FYI -- as a disinterested observer the discussion of this issue as it is currently written in the article seems about as POV as they come. In fact, in being so one-sided and rhetorically heavy-handed, the dismissal of the Koestler theory seems so facile that it actually comes across as somewhat suspicious. This is not particularly helped given your deletion of the material added by 172.129.70.39. That material seems relevant and, if as you point out, it does not contradict the debunking of Koestler, why was it necessary to be deleted? As for 172.129.70.39’s use of the word “tentatively”, I hardly think that is POV. Genetic mapping of global populations is still in its very early days, and there is indeed much that science does not know about the complex movement of human societies in pre-modern times. It may indeed be highly unlikely that “some later, better study will support the Khazar origin of Ashkenazim”, but to beg the question as you do is hardly scientific, is it?
In fact, I have to say that your deletion of this information seems like active suppression of information that you find unhelpful. Now, it may be the case that your position is correct, but doing it in such a heavy-handed fashion invites suspicion. The discussion of this issue as currently written is actually not very convincing, which is a shame. Instead, it reads as piece of bullying rife with logical fallacies. (Appeal to authority; ad hominem / guilt by association). Just FYI. Here’s a good compelling case that could have been made but wasn’t: assimilated peoples almost always carry linguistic traces from their area of geographic origin. If so, one would expect Yiddish to contain cognates of Turkic languages, but apparently (I’m not a Yiddish speaker so this is based on my informed understanding) it does not. This is compelling evidence that Ashkenazim are not primarily decendants of the Khazars. That’s a freebie, feel free to use it. Anyway, with all due respect, I really don’t have a dog in this fight and was simply looking for evidence one way or another. Good luck with the article, and aloha.

My edits are new addition to the subject and I worked hard to avoid original research, plagiarism, reverting or cutting other people work. If I would do I would cut Hal Lindsey, Parabiblical nonsense and many non referenced material.
some one probably you who is reverting my edits I reverted no body's edit other than their edit by reverting my edit to some one's else edit. Hence the warning goes to that person.

For the third time [5] you have inserted the statement "According to Watt, leaders of the Banu Nadir paid neighboring Arab tribes to go to war against Muhammad, leaving him no choice but to attack Khaybar."
Watt says no such thing regarding Nadir's payment to Arab tribes. The quote regarding his perspective is here:
Montgomery Watt has drawn attention to the fact that the Banu 'l-Nadir, driven out of Medina, had taken refuge in khaybar and that their chieftains and the chieftains of other Jewish groups, eager for revenge, were intriguing against Muhammad along with the Arabs tribes of the neighbourhood. So Muhammad had not only a just motive for attacking them, but there was also the positive necessity to destroy these enemies, more formidable even than the Quraysh because of their adherence to their own religion, their intelligence and their superior culture.

Let's see, you removed: Balfour Declaration, Partition plan (part of our history), West Bank Barrier (I suppose it's there to cage in the albino population of Switzerland), Holy sites that are holy to Palestinians (Jerusalem Churches and Mosques, Church of the Nativity), Palestinian Christian, Palestinian Jew, Dabke (and who are more famous at it than the Palestinians?)
All that and more, and the reason for your wholesale edit was, unbelievably: "Not related to Palestinians".
Well, if you wish to be taken seriously, you should learn to edit responsibly. Taking out things like "Palestinian Christian" under the reason of "not related to Palestinians" is not a sign of responsible editing. Furthermore, I didn't make this template. But you cannot just come and remove things at random, under outrageous pretexts, and then come to my user page and tell me that I need to make the case for retaining them. I don't go around removing clearly relevant information from WP pages and then tell people to make the case for allowing them back. And if I ever do need to make the case of why Palestinian Christian or Israeli West Bank barrier or Al-Aqsa Mosque or Church of the Nativity are related to Palestinians, that is an explanation I do not owe to you, as your irresponsible deletions do not reflect the level of seriousness in your editing that would warrant my needing to explain any of this blindingly obvious stuff to you.

I spent a lot of time yesterday converting a whole section from external links to reference links. I have a lot of other work to do also. Please have patience. We will merge what we can into Al-Aqsa Intifada. There is too much to merge all of it.
The new name for the article takes away a big reason, I believe, why many people wanted to delete the article. Accusing Israel of war crimes is too much for many people. And inaccurate for the most part. I find the old title to be offensive. And such a title needs an article that meets very high standards.

As I've just requested User:ProtectWomen to do I will respectfully request that refrain from following User:TharkunColl in disrupting this already cotentious situation by reverting images back and forth. Doing this just tends to set up hard feelings on all sides (particularly given the frequently trollish nature of TharkunColl's talk relative to the topic of Muhammad).

Arrow740 suggested you might be a good person to ask. There is four days left for final changes to the 2007 Wikipedia CD Selection.

I don't promise to make any changes but I will seriously consider it if you think some of the version adopted are POV.
The 2006 CD has an estimated circulation of over 50,000 so its worth getting as good as possible. The most recent viewable copy is at : [9]. Changes planned are listed at Wikipedia:2006 Wikipedia CD Selection in terms of (1) articles currently included to exclude (2)articles to add (3) articles to update because the version listed is vandalised (4) sections to exclude (mainly on appropriateness to children) (5) string deletes and spelling corrections (to UK English) (6) redirects of common article names to the main article.

This is uncivil. Why do you assume that I want to whitewash the events? Why do you assume I have a "problem". -- Agha Nader 19:50, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I confess that I am disappointed by your object vote. To all Jews, Jerusalem is very important. I love Jerusalem. But I have spoken with Muslims and Christians, and they also see Jerusalem as important to their faiths. We cannot impose our priorities and points of view on them. We cannot tell them, "We value Jerusalem much more than you" and then devalue their stance. Wikipedia is formed by a consensus of all its members. They must be given an equal voice. Thats why we can't excise their opinions from the lead of Jerusalem or devalue it in any way. They will object, and we all lose when the article is then forever prevented from reaching FA. nadav 23:22, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Beit Or, tariq and I responded to your concerns at the FAC. We cannot add too much more text to the article since it will exceed article length requirements, and we can't change the article too much since every change brings with it a torrential reaction from people with different priorities or perspectives. Given this delicate balance, do you think FA status is achievable? nadav 04:01, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
User talk:ShakespeareFan00 plans to create some podcasts (will be within our publication departement). I thought that some of your good articles could be modified in such a way and you are likely to be the most capable editor for the task(I'm not likely to be much of a help for you).
On the long run I would like to suggest (I don't know how many people will agree) that these podcasts should have a professional review. They must be sold for a small fee to pay such a review. Possible profits could be invested into illustrations and other badly needed stuff, I think such issues should be decided by the man and the community. Another effect would be that these casts form a foundation for wikireaders with thrustworthy content. Wandalstouring 15:00, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

It is my position that you improperly removed the tag:

Thanks for the heads-up. I think, however, that you have participated in creating a striking inconsistency at the Israel Shahak article. Another editor (Jayjg) removed a link to "Israel and Anti-Gentile Traditions," with the comment "the link is about the book, not about Shahak," (which I think is a very poor reason, as I noted on the talk page of the article), but when, for reasons of consistency, I removed the links to The Interpretational Errors of Israel Shahak and The Jews are Bad! (which I think are less scholarly, more poorly written, and more biased than the other article, and which are also reviews of the book rather than comments directly about Israel Shahak), you restored them. And, I note, you also repeated (unintentionally? It was coincident with another edit you made) the deletion of the link I added. Surely, if links that are about the book do not belong, then all three links should go; but if links that are about the book are admissable, then no legitimate reason has been given for the deletion of the link that I added. Could you please make sure your actions are consistent, either by restoring the link I added or by deleting the other two, or, in the absence of that, please explain at the talk page of the article why you think the two anti-Shahak book reviews belong but the neutral-on-Shahak book review does not belong? Thanks. -- DLH —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.82.9.49 ( talk) 21:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC).

For the sake of the size of the main article (already overlong) and some kind of chance at peace, please move this line to the Martin Luther and the Jews article.

Aloha, Beit Or. With the upfront caveat that I was not the author (nor do I have any idea who it was), I'm curious why you reverted the text posted by 172.129.70.39. As an outside, disinterested reader, it didn't seem like POV pushing to me at all, but rather additional and possibly relevant information. Seems to me that more information (as long as it is accurately reported and sourced, which this was) is better than less, especially when the original text seemed to give an inadequate accounting of other evidentiary sources. Cheers. Arjuna 11:00, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Beit Or, thanks for your comments, and particularly for pointing out the singularly obvious that this is an article on Khazars, not Ashkenazim. However, as you know, the meme that “Jews are decended from Khazars” exists willy-nilly, and thus the issue is a relevant one. As one who was aware of this meme, I sought out the article simply seeking accurate, objective information with which to assess its merit or lack thereof. I do find it somewhat perplexing that this issue is clearly seen by some (many?) as fraught with political implications. Despite the Koestler view also being espoused by some with various anti-Israel political agendas, to a disinterested observer this is rather confusing, since, as the article accurately points out, it is decidedly un-pernicious either to the Jewish people or the cause of the State of Israel.
However -- and just FYI -- as a disinterested observer the discussion of this issue as it is currently written in the article seems about as POV as they come. In fact, in being so one-sided and rhetorically heavy-handed, the dismissal of the Koestler theory seems so facile that it actually comes across as somewhat suspicious. This is not particularly helped given your deletion of the material added by 172.129.70.39. That material seems relevant and, if as you point out, it does not contradict the debunking of Koestler, why was it necessary to be deleted? As for 172.129.70.39’s use of the word “tentatively”, I hardly think that is POV. Genetic mapping of global populations is still in its very early days, and there is indeed much that science does not know about the complex movement of human societies in pre-modern times. It may indeed be highly unlikely that “some later, better study will support the Khazar origin of Ashkenazim”, but to beg the question as you do is hardly scientific, is it?
In fact, I have to say that your deletion of this information seems like active suppression of information that you find unhelpful. Now, it may be the case that your position is correct, but doing it in such a heavy-handed fashion invites suspicion. The discussion of this issue as currently written is actually not very convincing, which is a shame. Instead, it reads as piece of bullying rife with logical fallacies. (Appeal to authority; ad hominem / guilt by association). Just FYI. Here’s a good compelling case that could have been made but wasn’t: assimilated peoples almost always carry linguistic traces from their area of geographic origin. If so, one would expect Yiddish to contain cognates of Turkic languages, but apparently (I’m not a Yiddish speaker so this is based on my informed understanding) it does not. This is compelling evidence that Ashkenazim are not primarily decendants of the Khazars. That’s a freebie, feel free to use it. Anyway, with all due respect, I really don’t have a dog in this fight and was simply looking for evidence one way or another. Good luck with the article, and aloha.

In response to your warning that I am about to violate the 3 reverts rule I have read it clearly.
However this rule apply on the people who cut my hard word edits which did not interfere with anybody's edits or cut from their edits. My edits are new addition to the subject and I worked hard to avoid original research, plagiarism, reverting or cutting other people work. If I would do I would cut Hal Lindsey, Parabiblical nonsense and many non referenced material.
some one probably you who is reverting my edits I reverted no body's edit other than their edit by reverting my edit to some one's else edit. Hence the warning goes to that person. I am going to complain to administrators for cutting my new referenced contributions whole sale after I worked hard on them.

Hi, I think both Patchouli and you have the same religion. He may understand and accept your advice better than mine.Although he will be banned, but you can advise him that try to be polite and help the others instead of fighting with them. I guess these manners are accepted and supported in your religion too. However finding the truth and behaving correctly is more important than editing wiki articles. -- Sa.vakilian 19:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
For the third time [5] you have inserted the statement "According to Watt, leaders of the Banu Nadir paid neighboring Arab tribes to go to war against Muhammad, leaving him no choice but to attack Khaybar."
Watt says no such thing regarding Nadir's payment to Arab tribes. The quote regarding his perspective is here:
Montgomery Watt has drawn attention to the fact that the Banu 'l-Nadir, driven out of Medina, had taken refuge in khaybar and that their chieftains and the chieftains of other Jewish groups, eager for revenge, were intriguing against Muhammad along with the Arabs tribes of the neighbourhood. So Muhammad had not only a just motive for attacking them, but there was also the positive necessity to destroy these enemies, more formidable even than the Quraysh because of their adherence to their own religion, their intelligence and their superior culture.

User:ALM scientist has adopted a hostile manner regarding depictions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and is threatening to report me for what I see as a non-existent 3RR violation. Your review of this matter would be appreciated. Proabivouac 11:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Let's see, you removed: Balfour Declaration, Partition plan (part of our history), West Bank Barrier (I suppose it's there to cage in the albino population of Switzerland), Holy sites that are holy to Palestinians (Jerusalem Churches and Mosques, Church of the Nativity), Palestinian Christian, Palestinian Jew, Dabke (and who are more famous at it than the Palestinians?)
All that and more, and the reason for your wholesale edit was, unbelievably: "Not related to Palestinians".
Well, if you wish to be taken seriously, you should learn to edit responsibly. Taking out things like "Palestinian Christian" under the reason of "not related to Palestinians" is not a sign of responsible editing. Furthermore, I didn't make this template. But you cannot just come and remove things at random, under outrageous pretexts, and then come to my user page and tell me that I need to make the case for retaining them. I don't go around removing clearly relevant information from WP pages and then tell people to make the case for allowing them back. And if I ever do need to make the case of why Palestinian Christian or Israeli West Bank barrier or Al-Aqsa Mosque or Church of the Nativity are related to Palestinians, that is an explanation I do not owe to you, as your irresponsible deletions do not reflect the level of seriousness in your editing that would warrant my needing to explain any of this blindingly obvious stuff to you. No cheers, Ramallite (talk) 15:46, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Do you mind not making false accusations about me in your edit summaries to articles that you don't add anything to? All you do is delete material, you hardly discuss and then you accuse me on POV pushing? Wow.
But I can see above that even Ramallite, the paragon of even-handedness, has called you out for you BS editing, which basically consists of delete, delete, delete. And so I guess I should proud of you calling my edits POV. It just means I'm doing my job in countering your sickening anti-Palestinian bias. Have a nice day. Tiamut 18:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Please discuss your changes on the talk page before deleting the article again.
My edit summary when returning the article after someone redirected it:
I spent a lot of time yesterday converting a whole section from external links to reference links. I have a lot of other work to do also. Please have patience. We will merge what we can into Al-Aqsa Intifada. There is too much to merge all of it.
The new name for the article takes away a big reason, I believe, why many people wanted to delete the article. Accusing Israel of war crimes is too much for many people. And inaccurate for the most part. I find the old title to be offensive. And such a title needs an article that meets very high standards.
That is no longer this article. This article is about alleged human rights violations, and it also must meet high standards for sourcing, etc.. I am working on it. Please assume good faith. -- Timeshifter 18:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

You removed {{ Unreferenced}} tag from the Hamas article. Please don't do that unless you at the same time add references. // Liftarn
Beit Or, I write you to show you my respect for having improved the referencing for the images that are currently on display for the Muhammad article and also to apologize for having left out a reference or two during the tangle yesterday. As I've just requested User:ProtectWomen to do I will respectfully request that refrain from following User:TharkunColl in disrupting this already cotentious situation by reverting images back and forth. Doing this just tends to set up hard feelings on all sides (particularly given the frequently trollish nature of TharkunColl's talk relative to the topic of Muhammad). There is no need to needless antagonize Muslims by pointedly displaying an image of his likeness at the lead of the article about him. I grant you that if a genuine consensus is established and the result is that a no holds barred image of Muhammad is decided for display at the top of the article then I shall not further belabor the issue. Thanks again. ( → Netscott) 21:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Beit Or,
Arrow740 suggested you might be a good person to ask. There is four days left for final changes to the 2007 Wikipedia CD Selection. I am after a couple of people of different religious views to have a quick look through the relevant pages on Islam, Israel, Palestine etc. I have asked Aminz as well. I don't promise to make any changes but I will seriously consider it if you think some of the version adopted are POV.
The 2006 CD has an estimated circulation of over 50,000 so its worth getting as good as possible. The most recent viewable copy is at : [9]. Changes planned are listed at Wikipedia:2006 Wikipedia CD Selection in terms of (1) articles currently included to exclude (2)articles to add (3) articles to update because the version listed is vandalised (4) sections to exclude (mainly on appropriateness to children) (5) string deletes and spelling corrections (to UK English) (6) redirects of common article names to the main article. Navigation and search pages are being sorted separately. See especially: Muhammad, Palestinian territories, West Bank, Israel, Lebanon, Jew, Judaism, Islam and any shocking omissions?Please let me know of any issues if you see any. Thanks. -- BozMo talk 19:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Please stop accusing me of things I don't do. Recently you have accused me of "stalking" you.

The Islamic Human Rights Commission may or may not be to your liking.
But you've re-inserted several POV expressions ("campaigns against what it sees as violations", "collaborated with" (not backed by reference), "initiated by Ayatollah Khomeini" (not backed by reference) and "feels that the adoption of sharia law is .......".)
And re-inserted hopelessly un-encyclopaedic writing such as "In response to July 2006 The Mail and The Sun article IHRC published a press release on 24 July 2006[1] stating the reports "libellous" and "malicious" attacks to IHRC and in particular its chair, Massoud Shadjareh".
Any organisation covered by the encyclopaedia deservers much better treatment than this. PalestineRemembered 19:39, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Why did not you assume good faith? You said "...what's your problem? Is it with the fact that the article shows the inhabitants of Shiraz in a not-so-good light?" Why do you say such things to me? This is uncivil. Why do you assume that I want to whitewash the events? Why do you assume I have a "problem". -- Agha Nader 19:50, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I confess that I am disappointed by your object vote. To all Jews, Jerusalem is very important. I love Jerusalem. But I have spoken with Muslims and Christians, and they also see Jerusalem as important to their faiths. We cannot impose our priorities and points of view on them. We cannot tell them, "We value Jerusalem much more than you" and then devalue their stance. Wikipedia is formed by a consensus of all its members. They must be given an equal voice. Thats why we can't excise their opinions from the lead of Jerusalem or devalue it in any way. They will object, and we all lose when the article is then forever prevented from reaching FA. nadav 23:22, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Beit Or, tariq and I responded to your concerns at the FAC. We cannot add too much more text to the article since it will exceed article length requirements, and we can't change the article too much since every change brings with it a torrential reaction from people with different priorities or perspectives. Given this delicate balance, do you think FA status is achievable? nadav 04:01, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
User talk:ShakespeareFan00 plans to create some podcasts (will be within our publication departement). I thought that some of your good articles could be modified in such a way and you are likely to be the most capable editor for the task(I'm not likely to be much of a help for you).
On the long run I would like to suggest (I don't know how many people will agree) that these podcasts should have a professional review. They must be sold for a small fee to pay such a review. Possible profits could be invested into illustrations and other badly needed stuff, I think such issues should be decided by the man and the community. Another effect would be that these casts form a foundation for wikireaders with thrustworthy content. Wandalstouring 15:00, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
