To remind everyone on image policy, quit changing the photo out of personal opinions. It doesn't matter if you think it 'looks bad'. In order for an image to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and used here, it needs to be freely licensed (Creative Commons, Public Domain, etc.), requirements which the current photo meets. If you don't like the photo, then by all means I encourage you to take a newer one -- that is compliant with copyright rules. The current photo is suitable to depict the subject, and will stay for now. PascalHD (talk) 15:39, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Bias

edit

Most of this article as it stands sources exclusively media outlets hostile to its subject, as well as tweets (of what relevance, I can't see) from similarly hostile figures, and has a ton of characterizations that obviously take one side in a number of contentious situations; hardly seems like neutrality. 45.74.108.118 (talk) 02:33, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've used the section on the controversy about a tweet about Khader Adnan as an example because I frankly lack the time to deal with every example. It's well established that he was a prisoner who engaged in a series of hunger strikes; whether he was a terrorist, an inherently contentious characterization, depends on who you ask, so "Post praising terrorist" and related language is not an impartial description of the situation. 45.74.108.118 (talk) 18:37, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
This videos title is rather biased, but here he is supporting suicide bombing in 2007. 𝙴𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚌 𝙴𝚗𝚓𝚘𝚢𝚎𝚛 (talk) 16:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I agree, especially in regards to the section "Open letter concerning rapes of Israeli women in Hamas attack". The actual subject of letter concerned mainly calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid, according to this news source referenced in the section: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/sarah-jama-removes-name-letter-hamas-sexual-assault-1.7033960. The phrasing of this section also puts a spin on her statements regarding rapes, in which it pointed out the lack of verified evidence of said sexual violence, as well as other claims of atrocities, such as the debunked "beheaded babies". Both subjects which are addressed more neutrally elsewhere on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hamas_attack_on_Israel#Sexual_violence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kfar_Aza_massacre#Allegations_of_beheadings
As you noted the sources are all biased media outlets, such as the Toronto Sun. The letter itself should be the primary source used here. It would be fair to keep those media stories as references supporting reactions to the letter from the media, but not the actual contents of the letter 64.4.69.158 (talk) 15:59, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
