Ilan Pappé and Zionists in action

Good edits. At least the article now says something about Pappé's ideas rather than just a quotation of diatribes from IDF army officer turned academic hit man Efraim Karsh. Expect our Zionist friends to revert your edits soon. They have an interresting approach to accademic freedom: any accademic who criticises Israeli history or policy must be smeared besmerched and delegitimized. Pappee is not unique in winning this treatment. Other accedimics who have been critical of Israeli policy have suffered the same fate: see Juan Cole (see also Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Juan Cole, Norman Finkelstein. This is not a case of criticism of the ideas expressed but character assasination. For example our Zionist friends accused Finkelstein's mother, a holocaust survivor of being a Nazi collaborator. The idea is to terrorize critics into silence. In the case of A group of these editors work as a team, aggressively reverting any attempt to add the subjects defence to zionist attacks to the articles, using all kinds of bogus Wikilawyering arguments. Of course this goes on outside WP. Some critics such as Benny Morris have come to the conclusion that dissent is not worth the price. Abu ali 10:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isarig

Have a look at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Incivility, disruptive editing, and stalking-like behavior from Isarig. What do you think? Abu ali 20:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
