[edit] Comment and questions by ceedjee
- This article is dedicated to a book written by a scholar and not a specific topic. Therefore NPoV is not working as usual. I think that as background is an important information for "usual articles", a introductory section "about the Author" would also be interesting. Ceedjee (talk) 12:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- "The stated purpose of the book is an analysis of the ideology and actions of labor Zionism in the period before the War of Independence of 1948". I would appreciate a quote here. And even if the author uses these words in the book, I would not write "War of Independence of 1948" but rather "1948 Arab-Israeli War" or try to get a full quote using these words.

- "We are conquerers of the land facing an iron wall" !!! BG said "iron wall" This is interesting ! Didn't Sternhell make comment about that ? No comparison with the Iron Wall of Vladimir Jabotinsky ? Ceedjee (talk) 12:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Good suggestions!
- regarding NPOV: a criticism section is welcome. I tried in the review section, but I found no detailed criticism at all, only general statements.
- I think Jabotinsky gave it another menaing: an iron wall of Jewish bajonets.

- Thank youo.
- "as a variant of socialism of which Zionism was the Jewish version"
That sentence sounds complicated to me.
I would suggest "to describe the particularity of the Jewish Socialism in the Zionist context" or something like that... (but I am reluctant in the use of the word jewish here that could be misinterpretated) Ceedjee (talk) 19:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
