PS I see that in Anti-Zionism you added a link to the "Olga Document". Is there a special significane to this document? Thanks, -Willmcw 18:39, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

As far as I know, this document is the first public one to express Israeli and Jewish Anti-Zionist proposition about the conflict with Palestinians. It was signed by famous activists like Oren Medicks and Michel Warschawski, and by intellectuals, like Avi Mograbi and Eyal Sivan, two film makers (the first one was in Cannes Festival this year), the former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem Meron Benvenisti, some journalists like Haim Hanegbi, the director of the University Theatre (University of Haifa) Avraham Oz. The appeal was written after a series of public and private meetings. --Marcoo 20:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. It might be worth an article of its own. Cheers, -Willmcw 21:00, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New anti-Semitism

Marcoo, please answer the questions I've left for you on the Talk:New anti-Semitism page; it appears to me that the arguments you are making are not about New anti-Semitism at all. Jayjg (talk) 22:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I just answered the questions you asked me just one hour ago (don't be so impatient !). They are about "New anti-Semitism". --Marcoo 22:50, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Marcoo, your edits are not meeting Wikipedia standards; please see the Talk: page to work out issues there. Let's not have another revert war, as all of your previous edits on various articles have engendered. Jayjg (talk) 19:32, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Jayjg, you are invited to explain your massive deletion before doing them. It's nice for others. --Marcoo 19:34, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Alternatively, you could propose your massive changes in Talk: rather than inserting and then reverting to them. It's bad enough that you use all French sources which are hard to examine; as it is, I've heard others propose that foreign language links simply not be used in English Wikipedia. As well, you know that edits to the article are bound to be controversial to begin with, since you clearly have been editing Wikipedia for the purpose of representing, shall we say, one specific perspective on the whole Arab-Israeli conflict.

"It's bad enough that you use all French sources which are hard to examine; as it is, I've heard others propose that foreign language links simply not be used in English Wikipedia." -> this is not the actual policy. My sources are relevant and acceptable.

"As well, you know that edits to the article are bound to be controversial to begin with, since you clearly have been editing Wikipedia for the purpose of representing, shall we say, one specific perspective on the whole Arab-Israeli conflict." -> Many articles on Palestinian-Israeli conflict doesn't respect the NPoV. From my point of view, these articles, specially those in which you are editor, have a important pro-Zionist bias. Before I inserted new facts on Muhammad al-Durrah's controversy, almost all the paragraph was about arguments from people reproaching Enderlin with not making correctly his journalist job. Just few little lines for Enderlin's explanation. --Marcoo 20:31, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)


"you could propose your massive changes in Talk: rather than inserting and then reverting to them" -> I gave since the beginning the sources of my inserts. My behaviour is the normal behaviour on Wikipedia, yours when deleting everything before talking is not a normal behaviour. --Marcoo 20:33, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
