Article is deeply non-NPOV. Needs to be gone over.

- I agree. This is definitely written with an extremely biased POV.

Deaths: Qibya massacre says over 50. This article says almost 70. How many were there? TomCerul 13:21, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

This article seems like a stub which needs some serious editing --Anton Adelson, Western Australia 21:00, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Excised this odd "Reference" which listed no actual source or authority:

"It was top secret" / Yosef Argaman p.19

--LeFlyman 13:40, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Qibya is also commonly spelled "Kibya" and occasionally "Qibieh" in numerous publications.

[edit] This article is rubbish; it is disgusting in its anti-Israel bias

Benny Thomas is a notorious Israel basher. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.190.207.155 (talk) 21:42, 13 May 2007 (UTC).

taking a look at the home site of the group in hebrew and making a comparisment with the highly POV article used most for this title, i believe we should look for originals and less POV sources who seem to be citing their own sources in a non academic way to support their pretext... once we can get a few proper sources, we can get rid of this non-encyclopedic and even defamatory source.

Also why is this under the Palestine project? This is an article about an Israeli unit shouldn't it be under the Israel project? --Hadees 03:25, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Unit 101 was an infamous terrorist group masquerading as a counter-terrorism unit. The article should reflect that. 71.203.209.0 (talk) 19:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] El-Bureij attack

The article says: "The mission was to kill Col. Mustafa Hafez, the chief of Egyptian intelligence in the Gaza Strip who stood behind many of the early violent infiltrations into Israel.", without giving a source. Yet the Zionist historian Yoab Gelber writes: "In the end of this first month, a patrol of the unit that infiltrated into the Gaza Strip as an exercise, encountered Arabs in al-Burej refugee camp, opened fire to rescue itself and left behind about 30 killed Arabs and dozens of wounded.". Now this Gelber is quite a pro-Israeli historian, so I have no reason to doubt his reliability here and I have put his version in the article. --JaapBoBo (talk) 21:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

He is not a Zioniste historian. He is an Israeli historian.

And he is not pro-Israeli, he is Israeli.

Ok for the remaining.

Ceedjee (talk) 08:02, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, Ceedjee. We all have to be careful on this kind of topic to stay as neutral (encyclopedic) and cool in our talks as possible. Poppy (talk) 10:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Salut Poppy,

Please no 'false symmetry' :-)

I should stay more cool but there is no issue between me and npov.

JaapBoBo is extremally cool but there is nothing but issues between him and npov. Ceedjee (talk) 08:30, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
