Promotional

I tagged for advertisement because of the uniformly laudatory tone. No NGO can possibly be this universally admires, flawless. The template can be removed when the article reflects a more balanced tone and sources to critics an impartial sources, not merely to it's own website and self-identified partisan activists like Ilan Pappe.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:59, 2 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Given how polarising the Israeli-Palestinian and wider Israeli-Arab conflict is, I have to agree that there is a broad spectrum of glowing accolades as well as harsh criticism of this particular NGO, with criticism coming internally from Israel and from pro-Israel advocates abroad. NGO Monitor (albeit an NGO with a conservative leaning pro-Israel bias is highly critical of Adalah, and while they are indeed biased, their criticisms would be useful in order to provide balance and context for criticism.

I was going to check the deprecated sources above until I actually read the article, and per what the editor at the top of this page says, it does need a complete re-write. I replaced the primary sources maintenance tag with a self-published one, per the rationale in the edit summary for the article page. I'm not sure if there's a COI concern, and thus can't comment on that. Regardless, being written entirely from self-published materials, the article has a ridiculously promotional tone.

While I'm usually loathe to do content work in the I/P area, I consider this more copyediting. I'll attempt to cut it back, rewrite what I can in a neutral encyclopedic tone, and find better sources. A quick preliminary search indicates that there's not much in English about this subject specifically (as in being directly about it), but I found a bit. I'll take another look tomorrow, and start going through the linkrot and what selfpub information could/should be retained. Quinto Simmaco (talk) 09:12, 13 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

I don't mean to cause a fuss, but I do strongly think that the "indigenous rights" tag in the sidebar section is blatant POV pushing, because it pushes the trope that Jews are settler-colonialists who don't have any ethnic or cultural links to the Middle East (and that therefore the existence of the State of Israel is illegitimate and/or no different to that of Australia, Canada, or the United States), and that every individual who identifies as a Palestinian is 100% native to that particular region in the Levant no questions asked. Therefore, I humbly request that the tag be removed. Labelling the group as a minority rights organisation is sufficient. Also Illan Pappe is more than just a historian. He is a "New Historian" and a pro-Palestinian rights activist; whose record as a historian has had a polarising reception among fellow historians, and even lead to criticism by even his own fellow "New Historians".
