Talk:Abu Jihad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alrighty, this article is incredibly biased and has lots of information that really isn't relative, or just serves to inflate things. I've had a try at neutralizing the artical and trimming the irrelevant information. I'd appreciate a second opinion if it worked.
Also, the "youth training camp" is a part that I'd really like some help on. Cyberguy34000 18:27, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
I've tried to edit, but my knowledge is limited - Mossad has never confirmed or denied that it killed this man, so I changed the initial statement about his death. Also, one cannot claim that his actions alone precipitated the First Infitada. I hope that this helped. ~~Wee Jimmy 21:06, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
I believe that these revisions are satisfactory, and that the POV notice can be removed. Anyone in agreement? ~~greenday121 24 September 2005
I think this article is tilted towards a pro-Palestinian POV, which I have sympathy with, but could do with more neutral. I change "resistance opperations" to "paramilitary opperations". It would be useful if the article mentioned whether or not some of Abu Jihad's attacks on Israel targeted civilians. Kingal86 23:23, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
There is nothing wrong with the article being mainly from a pro-palestinian POV since he was a palestinian leader, if you ask any israeli about Al wazir he will tell you he was a terrorist without even knowing who the guy is, in the same manner a palestinian will tell you Sharon is a war criminal although he is a hero to several israelis. The facts in the article are very much true, & the fact that he was focused on his cause & that he kept a clean hand when other PLO leaders were corrupted was agreed upon even by his opponents. The article doesn't idealize him, it just describes his personality, whether you regard him as a hero or a villian doesn't have anything to do with his character.
Most sources use the name Khalil al-Wazir, should this article not be moved there? PatGallacher 14:41, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
