editI left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thanks for creating this article! Hopefully you will write more articles! Have a good day!
Spelling
editChanged "anti-Semitism" (widely used but originally possibly from MS Word autocorrect) to the correct "antisemitiam". Check the IHRA and other explanatory websites. Dori1951 (talk) 12:15, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
separate section for Somaliland relations?
editLast two paragraphs of "Isreal-Somalia relations" is about somaliland and are different in terms of the interactions had between the states and what is the contents of the of paragraphs above it. 92.236.211.53 (talk) 15:43, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
WP:NPOV in Isreal-Somalia section The source given twice in the Isreal-Somalia relations section is by Nancy Hartevelt Kobrin, a woman who has a direct pro Israeli bias. According to her website (https://www.nancykobrin.org/), she is a psychoanalysist who specialises in jihadism. She has written multiple articles for the Times of Israel (https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/author/nancy-hartevelt-kobrin/), during and about each conflict with Hamas in the past 2 decades (2014 and currently), all of which adopt a pro Israeli stance.
The free copy of the source I read (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329027273_Ilhan_Omar_Controversy) is practically worthless a source as it's a reaction to the statements made by Ilhan Omar (and for some reason, has Clarion Project mentioned in the citations title). This is no way reliable for citating, let alone for historical claims of which the article is neither concerned about and dedicates 1 sentance to.
"With the outbreak of the Arab-Israeli Six Day War in 1967,
the Jews were summarily deported from Somalia, forced to leave everything behind as they fled for their lives. This outrageous deportation took place only seven years after Israel so graciously and bravely become the first country to recognize the newly independent nation of Somalia in
1960."
}} This is the only mention of this in the whole article, which again is about Ilhan Omar and not history. It doesn't mention the Muslim Brotherhood at all either. I propose the immediate deletion of these paragraphs until more reputable sources are available/made known, and will begin immediately too. 92.236.211.53 (talk) 19:17, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- The other citation (Huffingtonpost) in the section is also unreliable! It is not only an opinion piece that doesn't mention Israel whatsoever, it's also contradicts what it was cited for, as I never changed the paragraph its in aside from moving another source to it.
- The paragraph states "In 1967, Somalia joined the Arab League[...]", but the article says
| “ | Somalia joined the League of Arab States (Arab League) in 1974, becoming the first non-Arab member of that organization. | ” |

- I've begun deleting unverified information using these bad sources, such as the reference to the alleged expulsion of Yemeni Jews from Mogadishu, asylum to muslim brotherhood and I've corrected the date to 1974 as in the Huffington post and will be using it to instead state "Somalia joined the Arab Leagues boycott of Israel as it back a member" or something along those lines, which is true even despite the source not saying it. Will add a source for this to replace the Huffington post soon and will also delete the Ilhan Omar source completely immediately. 92.236.211.53 (talk) 16:52, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
