[edit] Settlements, sources

JimmyJ, I mostly mirrored the changes that I made to Gilo in that I used a neutral formulation on the settlement/neighbourhood issue (what is versus other POVs), and removed the rest of that discussion. Again, I removed some of your references, but only because either their purpose wasn't clear, or because you simply linked to a homepage. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 02:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terrorism

Can we please remove the "Terrorism" section to a more appropriate location (ie one of the listings of attacks)? While reference could be made to the fact that there have been attacks, the article should not spend that much time discussing what they were. Tewfik^Talk 21:46, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I have no problem with it as-is. --Epeefleche 03:48, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Tewfik that this is a major problem in all geographic places (in Israel...) when you describe a city or a place and then there's a big section about terrorism. The problem is I don't see where it can be moved except to an article named "French hill terorrism" or the like. If that is approved, then it can be done with a link to a main article.

The French Hill Junction is special in this regard, for geographic reasons. See the USN&WR article.--Epeefleche 01:40, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Kudos on the additions and expansions. I moved it to a new article seeing it's long enough. Amoruso 06:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I wonder whether it might not be less inflammatory and more accurate to use the phrase "terrorist attacks" in lieu of "massacres."--Epeefleche 21:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

From my experience in wikipedia - no. Massacres is the usual term used - whether in acts by irgun and others like Deir Yassen massacre, other acts like Cave of the patriachs massacre etc, while "terrorism" is part of WP:WTA and therefore I didn't use in a name of an article, which is most visible in the sense of how POV it is. Using it in article itself can be disputed and questioned depended on context and references etc but name is more problematic. Amoruso 12:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
