I removed sections where "Implication" and "Speculation" is used and not backed up in the sources. Can't use that on Wikipedia. It has to be backed up by sources. Using "Implication" implies original research to connect point A to point B. Need hard evidence to connect.
Couple of suggestions. I would make sure every paragraph has a reference. For Good Aricle or Featured Aticle status, every paragraph needs atleast one reference, even if it is the same reference as the previous paragraph. It would be helpful in articles as contentious as Israeli/Palestinian topics. Other suggestion is that Haaretz has an English version. Would be better if the articles can be found in English... It is the English version of Wikipedia.
Otherwise, the article looks fine, but I will dig a little deeper tomorrow. I do believe the article should be on Wikipedia. So, I'm not trying to get rid of it, just making sure only the known facts are reported.
I do some "janitor" work on articles... sometimes 500 articles a day. I have to skim each one. It has gotten very scary to see all the people taken into some government custody and never to be heard from again. Bgwhite (talk) 06:02, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Please do not refer to other editors' good-faith edits as vandalism. In fact, you probably should read WP:Vandalism, especially "What is not vandalism". — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:28, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry investigation
editAccusations have been made that you are a sockpuppet of Richards1052 (talk · contribs), as outlined at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Richards1052. I find the evidence quite convincing. I would like to hear what you have to say about these accusations. If you are indeed using both accounts, you will be required to abandon one of them, and stick to a single account in the future.

Alert
editPlease carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.December 2017
