I'm not sure that this article is a NPOV or provides any meaningful information about the issue.Cpaliga 00:31, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

it provides the only information concerning the movement on Wikipedia right now. it describes the movement and the reason why it was created, how is that not meaningfull??

  • As it was when I found it, the article was definitely not NPOV and was probably created by a member or supporter of the movement. I edited it to remove POV while attempting to leave information regarding the goal of the organization. The article did not however provide any information about whether Breaking the Silence has any real impact. Without perspective, it doesn't seem encyclopedic. That being said, I would support an unbiased expansion by somebody who is knowledgeable about the organization. Cpaliga

"Breaking the Silence" is a noteworthy Israeli organization that has garnered press around the world in the last few years. Its recent tour of US campuses was controversial, prompting the Zionist Organization of America and the Israel advocacy group, "Stand with Us" to request that one of BTS's sponsors, the Union of Progressive Zionism, be ousted from the umbrella Israel-advocacy Israel Campus Coalition (The ICC's Steering Committee unanimously rejected the request.)

At this point, any attempt to delete the article can only be viewed as an attempt by opponents to muzzle the group. The article will be expanded in the near future, and will continue to present at NPOV. JeremiahHaber
