Could someone please tell me what is in this link? [1] I am not able to open it and would like to retrieve the bibliographical information for ther references section. Alternatively, the person who added it could format it in line with the ref style being used throughout this page. Thanks. Tiamut 18:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

The reference is actually not needed, I used it for the population figures, but the Haaretz ref has the same info. I'll remove it. Isarig 19:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The adjective Palestinian

Tewfik, your resistance to the inclusion of the word Palestinian before the descriptive phrase Arab citizens of Israel is incomprehensible. The source cited clearly support the fact that residents of Barta'a, both East and West and Palestinian. Indeed, the Ha'aretz source say they are from the same family. Please stop pushing your POV that Arab citizens of Israel are not Palestinians. Particularly when the sources cited make it clear that they are. Tiamut 15:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it is helpful to accuse me of pushing anything other than the consensus formulation. Once you are successful in changing the name of Arab citizens of Israel to Palestinian Arab Citizens of Israel then I'll have no problem with appending it to their every mention.
