BBC article ascribes the same deeds to a man named Adam, Haaretz says accounts of heroism were inflated

edit

Ex-soldier fought off Hamas and saved kibbutz neighbours (archive): One of the first Israeli settlements to come under attack when Hamas militants surged into Israel early on Saturday morning was the Nir Am kibbutz, where local people put up a fierce defence and drove the attackers away. "I took my pistol, my clothes, my bulletproof vest and the other thing was cigarettes," Adam says, calmly recounting being jolted from his bed by the sound of gunfire at 06:30 on Saturday. "We started to kill everyone who came to the fence." He's been labelled the hero of Nir Am, the saviour of his kibbutz, a community of around 400 people living just 2km (1.2 miles) from Gaza.

Then there is also a Haaretz article; this goes with the Inbal Lieberman name, but says, Like in any of those mythological stories, the precise details of her heroism were inflated. Social media messages reported "25 terrorists killed" while actually one had been killed and one wounded. But for three hours, Lieberman and the security detail fought from positions within the kibbutz and with militants some dozens of meters away from the entrance.

I am not sure the entire account, comforting as it is, satisfies encyclopedic standards. :/ Andreas JN466 21:15, 23 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Should be in the “Marvel Movie” section of Wikipedia

edit

Multiple sources inflate and or describe the same deeds attributed to other people. It also falsely states that Hamas attacked the kibbutz when it was Islamic Jihad that did. This article has no place in a bias free-factual website A.H.T Videomapping (talk) 16:34, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Correction Needed: Mislabeling of Nir-Am as a ‘Settlement’ on Inbal Rabin-Lieberman’s Page

edit

Dear Wikipedia Editors,

I am writing to request a correction on the Wikipedia page of Inbal Rabin-Lieberman. The term “settlement” is currently used to describe Nir-Am, where Ms. Liberman served as the security coordinator. However, this is a factual inaccuracy.

Nir-Am is a kibbutz in southern Israel, established on 19 August 1943 by immigrants from Bessarabia and members of the Gordonia youth movement. It is not a “settlement” in the contentious political context that this term implies in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This information is supported by the Wikipedia page on Nir Am, which details its history and establishment.

Therefore, I propose the following amendment to the page:

• Replace “Nir-Am was the only settlement bordering the Gaza Strip” with “Nir-Am, a long-established kibbutz, was the only community bordering the Gaza Strip”.

Should this error not be corrected, I will feel compelled to report this issue further, as Wikipedia values accuracy and neutrality in its content. I appreciate your attention to this matter.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
