[edit] Kameel Nasr
An outlandish claim that "A Jewish community had been established in Safed after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492." comes from a highly dubious writer Kameel Nasr, whose scholarly credentials are, well, non-existant. Pecher Talk 14:01, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Establishment of the Jewish community
In the 11th century, "...there was a Jewish community in Safed, but we have no further information on the subject." Gil, M. History of Palestine: 634–1099, p. 214. Ian, may be it's high time you stopped pushing the POV that Jews are new immigrants to Israel? It's possible that the Jewish community in Safed was wiped out at a certain point to be re-established by Sephardi Jews in late 15th century, but citing only the re-establishment of the community without all its prior history is manipulative.

- This article is about the massacre, not about the history of Safed over many centuries before the events in question. Pecher Talk 11:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. If you feel that strongly about it then go ahead and delete it. I just thought it was interesting historical context and generally I don't like to see good sources deleted. --Ian Pitchford 12:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
