Hirsi Ali dispute
edit@Nableezy: I was wondering if it's gonna take seconds or minutes for the obvious to happen. I know, Wiki rules.
If somebody violated you, and a few decades later somebody wrote your genitals should be torn off, would you see a connection? No? Sleep well. If you can.
PS: I won't put it back, don't worry, nor will I dignify any reply by making this into a discussion. Arminden (talk) 23:12, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- this isn’t the article Ayaan Hirsi Ali, sources for this article need to discuss the subject of this article. nableezy - 23:25, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
Opinion pieces by non-experts for controversial claims
editA, that is a complete distortion of what Sarsour said, she was not talking about Jews, what she said is "I will remind all of you good people that are here that there are provocateurs all across the city. And what they’re waiting for you to do is to waste your energy ripping down their little posters so they can record you and try to get you fired." And that is according to the single semi-reliable that at all covers this. But using opinion pieces by non-experts to make controversial claims about a living person is not WP:BLP compliant, and I will now say that I think this material as inserted here is a BLP violation, and I will draw the attention of anybody who wants to reinsert it to WP:BLPRESTORE nableezy - 23:40, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed. The first sign I have that JNS is not a reliable source is that they refer to a "pro-Hamas" rally at Grand Central Station. I know of no such "pro-Hamas" rallies, but there have been rallies supporting the Palestinian people. The bias in that source challenges their reliability.
Then Linda Sarsour launched into a deranged Jew-hating Goebbelsian rant.
Gimme a break. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)- Since at least May 6th, the slogan at the top of the JNS website has been "Fighting Israel's Media War". Seems more like a propaganda outlet than a factually accurate source. While officially non-partisan, JNS was quietly financed for years by conservative mega-donor Sheldon Adelson. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:59, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Gaza war comments
editAn editor recently added text in Wikipedia's voice accusing Sarsour of anti-Semitism in relation to the 2023 Israeli invasion of Gaza. The Jewish News Syndicate source is clearly labeled as opinion; its contents are therefore unduly weighted absent more authoritative sourcing. As a primary source for its author's (biased) opinion, it should also not be cited for criticism of a living person. The LA Times source cites only a prominent rabbi and pro-Israeli activists
for the claim that Sarsour's statement was anti-Semitic. Neither source alludes to any specific antisemitic tropes. I've removed that part as original research and attributed the accusations of anti-semitism as required by policy. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 09:30, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Jewish nation-state law comments
editThe recent addition claiming Sarsour's comments about Israel's Jewish nation-state law were from her appearance at a 2020 DNC side panel is a misreading of the Times of Israel article. Sarsour actually made these comments in 2019. Since the text was not supported by the source, I've removed it as a valid exemption to 1RR under WP:BLPREMOVE. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 03:06, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
