Bilzerian's antisemitism

I'm not allowed to edit the page, but hopefully someone else will, to reflect the very disturbing information in this article: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-815144 96.250.221.135 (talk) 21:00, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a section on Bilzerian's antisemitism, using that source and others. Rootless Co$mopolitan (talk) 06:27, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the section for being poorly sourced per WP:BLP. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 16:53, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m pretty sure they all satisfy reputable sources or WP:Primary.

can you clarify what you mean? Cos it feels like this is being used to censor negative PR for the subject Rootless Co$mopolitan (talk) 17:00, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can check the status of some of the sources here. For example the ADL "There is consensus that the ADL is a generally unreliable source for the Israel/Palestine conflict, due to significant evidence that the ADL acts as a pro-Israeli advocacy group and has repeatedly published false and misleading statements as fact, un-retracted, regarding the Israel/Palestine conflict. The general unreliability of the ADL extends to the intersection of the topics of antisemitism and the Israel/Palestine conflict." and Jewish Chronicle "There is no consensus on whether The Jewish Chronicle is reliable for topics related to the British Left, Muslims, Islam, and Palestine/Palestinians; there is also a rough consensus it is biased in these topics." IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 17:54, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t want to be condescending here but have you read the primary sources? His own Twitter is pretty nakedly antisemitic. I don’t see this as to do with Israel so the JC’s perceived u reliability here isn’t an issue Rootless Co$mopolitan (talk) 18:05, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We go by what reliable secondary sources say.

You may be right about the JC source being valid, and the Mother Jones source seemed good as well. Probably some of the material can be readded. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 18:10, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What’s the process here, should I revert and edit? Rootless Co$mopolitan (talk) 18:19, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would recommend against restoring the entire paragraph. Restore what is well sourced. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 18:26, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Misinterpreted the Talmud

He didn’t misinterpret it. 2600:1009:B1CF:3052:313B:319A:DC03:451E (talk) 18:48, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In Views in Personal Life: Change “misinterpreted” the Talmud to made comments regarding views of the Talmud. Horses97 (talk) 20:13, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: no reason given for the proposed change. M.Bitton (talk) 02:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No misinterpretation of the Talmud

Bilzerian made accurate statements contained within Talmud. Perhaps the Wikipedia editors prefer that the statement referring to Jesus Christ boiling in excrement be changed to semen as that has also been shared during a video recorded rabbi’s drash or deresha. 2A02:810D:8FBF:CD1C:245B:4F71:24C:CEAB (talk) 10:32, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wording has since been changed --FMSky (talk) 12:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we need to lower the temperature of this, I think its pretty clear that minimising the holocaust and selectively sharing Talmud quotes in order to demonise Jewish people has an antisemitic intention. I think this talk page is becoming pretty antisemitism in itself, which I'm pretty sure is not in the spirit of editing on here. Rootless Co$mopolitan (talk) 10:57, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
