This is not the place for POV. Eyewitness, settler supporters, and peace activists alike should realize that there are many different perspectives on the same story. Let's not demonize one side at the expense of the other. This is an encyclopedia. Danny 21:23, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I echo that. It looks likely that there will be Commission set up, or at least some form of investigation will be undertaken soon. It's hasty to come to conclusions at this stage about what exactly led to and who did what, beyond what we know of from mainstream media sources. El_C 05:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I believe that there is a place for this article in wikipedia, yet the current edition is POV and definitely a stub that needs to be worked on. Only time will tell whether this is a news item or an historical event. --Shuki 00:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Facts are facts, and video evidence can't really be disputed. In one video, a police officer is shown smashing the heads of protestors who were literally sitting on the floor with arms linked in classic civil disobedience style. Do you think the policeman and protestor were hugging each other and the protestor just happened to "fall" off the roof? LandOfIsrael 11:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

One picture is worth of thousand words, one sais. So I have added some... --Fangol 10:05, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Great pictures!!!!!!

I'd like to remove the POV header. I tried to make the article even more "neutral". Please chime in below this line. Five votes to remove the POV heading (not including mine, of course) and the fifth person will remove it. Fair enough? Please write in the edit summary "my vote to remove POV heading" as well as entering your vote below. LandOfIsrael 20:01, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

This article is still nowhere near neutral. -Matt

Matt: What would you change? LandOfIsrael 14:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the issues were, but the article now quotes the results of an official government inquiry, so I am removing the NPOV tag. If anyone feels that there are still issues to be resolved, they should make note of them on Talk and work to correct them. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 00:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Super! Thanks for taking the initiative Tewfik! LandOfIsrael 11:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV and citations

Since the last POV discussion it seems like the article has gained a little bias (more in style than in factual content). On the other hand I have just reverted an edit which was clearly biased to the other side (and even counter-factual in one place). Maybe a POV check would be useful, and certainly adding inline citations seems to be in order. Eldar (talk) 22:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
