[edit] Shock

Could you please read Talk:2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict#Casualty figures. The consensus is to keep the Israeli shock figures, as we don't know what the Lebanese figures consist of. Thanks Tewfik^Talk 02:35, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Hi Bingman,

I'm confused as to why you replaced the pro-Lebanese rally with a pro-Israel rally picture. At best they should both be represented, but not showing the pro-Lebanese rallies would probably not be fair, as they seem to be the larger and more known ones. Let me know what you think, Tewfik^Talk 00:50, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I would keep it on the less controversial Lebanese for now, and raise the issue on Talk. I wish I could provide a better answer, but I'm not sure that there are very many options at the moment. Sorry, Tewfik^Talk 01:11, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not taking sides, but I believe that if you leave only the Israeli rally up, it will most likely be reverted by others with the reasoning that pro-Lebanese rallies have been more prominent, and that only having a picture of pro-Israel protestors doesn't represent the reality. In any event, the best way to address the inequity that you see here would be to discuss on Talk. A reasoned debate there would at least grant a fair hearing to the points you raise, and may result in some creative compromises. Let me know if you have any other questions/comments.
