[edit] objectivity?

Shouldn't this article be less subjective? This is a dictionary afterall, not a blog.

Not a blog or even a dictionary, an online enyclopedia. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 14:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm wondering whether this article was deliberately written to make the novel look like crappy propaganda, or if it was written by someone deeply inured to racism and historical denial. The Palestinian / ALA leadership tries to drive the locals off their land, while the friendly Israelis seek only peaceful coexistence! "The novel ends with Ishmael going insane and becoming delusional to the furthest extent because of the terrible life that his Arab culture had forced him to live." Wow... <eleland/talkedits> 01:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
