Op-eds

Shrike, regarding this unhelpful edit, I obviously didn't see the other op-ed. A lot has happened in a short amount of time. Why do you think it is proper to reinsert an op-ed when you know it isn't RS? Because it said something negative about Tamimi. Can you please self-revert and discuss for once? Your drive-by reverts are getting stale.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:00, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

I removed the "Jew-hatred" accusation by a nn columnist: [1]. Please keep the BLP DS in mind. --K.e.coffman (talk) 20:01, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
We should cut out op-eds - including the one by Peter Beaumont that was added today. Enough op-eds have been written about Tamimi that one can SYNTH/POV whichever way with op-eds - we should stick to what notable figures say - who received coverage beyond their self-authored op-ed. Petra Marquardt-Bigman is probably notable - we could create a Wikipedia article for her - but there is little reason to include any op-ed which hasn't received secondary coverage.Icewhiz (talk) 20:04, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
First of all OP-ED are RS for the opinion of the writer.And you only complain about negative op-ed and not positive . But I have no problem to remove all OP-EDs positive and negative.--Shrike (talk)
Shrike that literally makes no sense. And where did I complain about just negative op-eds? Like I said, I didn't notice the other one and do not approve of op-eds unless the opinion is recorded consistently in secondary sources.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:13, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
So do you agree to remove the other op-ed?--Shrike (talk) 20:14, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Shrike sure and you could have done so had you not wasted your revert to make a point. I will note sources like the New York Times and Aljazeera also describe the double-standard -- and those aren't op-eds. Regardless, it is probably better suited for the article on the killings, not here.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:26, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

This is what I can't stand. It's always the same double standard. Pro-Palestinian editors can add all the biased opinions against Israel from left-wing and Muslim propagandists around world, but when someone adds a different opinion to balance the article, they immediately remove it by claiming it's not "notable enough". Peter Beaumont's article is literally one sentence... and he is more notable than a journalist from Haaretz? (which is an Israeli newspaper that criticizes Israel on a regular basis). Don't get me wrong. I'm not crazy about Op-Eds in general, but if Beaumont stays, so should Bigman.--יניב הורון (talk) 20:34, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

  • The bottom line, please do not insert BLP smears, even if couched in an attribution, into articles. Shrike should be aware of that. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:43, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Bottom line, remove Beaumont's Op-Ed or leave both.--יניב הורון (talk) 20:55, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Beaumont is a respected journalist and author, who made a factual comparison, while Marquardt-Bigman, if an article were to be created, would probably be best known for her vitriolic views. Not all opinions carry equal weight. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:11, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
I agree with Grace we should remove all opinions per WP:NPOV--Shrike (talk) 21:28, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Sure... the article is full of "factual comparisons" by "notable scholars", such as Ehrenreich: "A great deal of work goes into ‘othering’ Palestinians", he wrote, "to casting them as some really recognizable other."--יניב הורון (talk) 21:32, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Comment and reply to K.e.coffman: Who decides who is "respected" and who is not? Who decides which animals are more equal than others? I think the argument that one op-ed is more important than another because it's written by a "respected journalist" is patently fallacious, but if you have something personal against Bigman (actually now that I think of it, your comment about her is in itself a borderline BLP violation), how about Ben-Dror Yemini? He wrote a similar article. So did many other respected Israeli journalists. If you really want to keep the Guardian op-ed, feel free to pick an article by any of these journalists as a counterbalance. However, as others have said here, I would also prefer removing both op-eds. —Ynhockey (Talk) 21:30, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Ynhockey everyone else here has exhausted their reverts and it appears some editor has come back from leave to reinsert the op-ed. Could you do the honors and remove the op-eds?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:39, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Its really inconceivable to try to exclude Petra Marquardt-Bigman, but to include Peter Beaumont. Even beside this, the article looks very POV driven, thats why I suggest removing both op-eds and reversing this article into WP:NPOV line. Tritomex (talk) 23:42, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

I was bold and moved the op-eds into the analysis section -- I don't think we should be "seasoning" (as some might say) our presentation of facts with commentary on them. Opinions like these belong in their own section and it already existed. Regarding the asserted BLP issue with "seasoned with Jew-hatred" I've removed that piece of the quote as part of trimming; I also removed Beaumont's statement that an unarmed protestor was "no threat" as this is (a) mostly redundant and (b) if it's not then we'd have to note that its his opinion and not state it as fact which will take up more space. Hope that all works for everyone. Cheers, --Calthinus (talk) 00:49, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Both op-eds should be in this article. They both source relevant points of view from commentators about this event:
  • That the sentence is or would be disproportionate
  • That the motivation of Tahimi is or would be the hate of Jews
Ynhockey: Your comparison with animals is not acceptable. That's the 3rd time I remind this to you.
Pluto2012 (talk) 06:07, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
If we are to report opinions, they should be the opinions of:
  • legal experts
  • political scientists
  • high-ranking (national level) politicians or govt officials.
Authors and journalists writing op-eds aren't experts per WP:SCHOLARSHIP and op-eds aren't WP:RS, that's what an "Analysis" section should contain. AadaamS (talk) 05:15, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
Since when do the predictable POV opinionizing spins of 'high-ranking (national level) politicians or govt officials,' have encyclopedic value outweighing the interpretations given by journalists or authors who have an established record in covering the political, social and conflict history of any region? Everyone in the world knows that Michael Oren, whom we quote, was just blathering, but since it is in secondary source we include that patent nonsense. Fine. But to include such tripe, while using the oped gambit to exclude an intelligent observation by a journalist specializing in the Middle East is manipulative. Nishidani (talk) 08:20, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Beaumont. This is not oped material. Specious removalism without any checking of other sources

Shrike strikes again with a blind revert without examining the evidence

This cannot but go back in, because, while citing Beaumont, I knew that it was not Beaumont’s personal oped opinion, but a general view in several sources.

To make that clear, I’ll rephrase it so the objection drops.

Hanan Ashrawi, Peter Beaumont and social media, contrasted the length of the sentence Tamimi received for slapping a soldier with that of an Israeli border guard who was sentenced to nine months for shooting dead an unarmed Palestinian demonstrator, and with the case of another Israeli soldier, Elor Azaria, who eventually received a sentence roughly of the same length as Tamimi’s after he executed a wounded Palestinian militant while the latter lay on a road.[1][2][3][4]

A nanosecond's googling would have told you, Shrike, or Icewhiz or anyone else, that this is not reducible to a journalistic oped, but formed part of the media reportage of the Tamimi verdiot, unlike the smear op-ed removed with Beaumont earlier. Anyone, feel free to restore this. Nishidani (talk) 09:22, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

  • Can someone fix this, the mess made by my edit? My new section keeps being collapsed with a prior section and becomes unreadable. Thank you.Nishidani (talk) 09:37, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Stone Throwing

As may be seen in this WaPo piece, the Tamimis were not only allegedlyinvolved in stone throwing during the riots, but also allegedly threw stones from their compund [2] On Friday, the army said, soldiers were in the village to contain a riot involving some 200 people, including the Tamimis. Some of the rioters, the army said in a statement, entered a nearby house and continued to throw rocks at troops. Then, it said, Tamimi and some women exited and started to “violently provoke” the soldiers..Icewhiz (talk) 15:35, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

An army statement, not an established fact then. -DePiep (talk) 15:42, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Its in the sources we may attribute it to the army then.Also, we can't say in wiki voice that cousin was shot by the IDF as it claim by the palestinians.--Shrike (talk) 17:09, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Whataboutery. What do you propose? -DePiep (talk) 21:47, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
We probably should have an 'according to the Tamimi family..." and "according to the Israeli army.." paragraphs. DePiep - please refrain from inserting stmts by Bassem Tamimi without attribution in wiki's voice - NPOV.Icewhiz (talk) 19:01, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

A lot of information is omitted regarding her violence activities Charlotte253 (talk) 18:27, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

"Slapping incident" should be retitled

Why is this the name of the section? Shouldn't it be "Assulting a soldier"? This seems more accurate, especially given that she plead guilty to that Brileiweis (talk) 22:47, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Agreed! She also kicked him and it wasn’t the first time she had been violent. Charlotte253 (talk) 18:34, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Yes, that's another factor. It was not just slapping. Multiple actions. The previous history of violence I don't think is a good reason to change the sub-heading title, but the fact that it was not only slapping is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brileiweis (talkcontribs) 04:29, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Family members killed

Ok, AFAIK she has had at least two close relatives killed by the Israelis.

Why isn't this in the article??

I would think that would be...rather influential (to put it diplomatically) on her outlook on life, Huldra (talk) 23:45, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Her aunt was died 8 years prior to her birth. Other Nabi Saleh deaths are not that closely related. If cousin relationships go in, we should include Ahlam Tamimi and Nizar Tamimi who would also be a relevant influence.Icewhiz (talk) 03:12, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
No, Im thinking about that it has been reported that she watched her maternal uncle Rushdi Tamimi being killed in 2012 (when she was about 11), in addition her cousin Mustapha was killed by the Israelis the same year.(A quick googling brings eg.: Why the trial of Ahed Tamimi, who slapped an Israeli soldier, is gaining international attention Memo to ‘NYTimes:’ Go to Ahed Tamimi’s village in Palestine and report the truthPortrait of Ahed Tamimi: A Palestinian Child Star in Israeli Prison) Huldra (talk) 22:41, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
The simple question is whether or not sources discuss these in this context.Volunteer Marek (talk) 18:08, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Opinion

Shrike, you removed this (another revert - will you ever stop?) I presume on the grounds that one editor, The Graceful Slick did so. There was no discussion on this page for your claim that we decided not to include opeds. But I had an exchange at the time with the excising editor on my page, in which I explained the edit, - it is not Beaumont's personal 'opinion', but Beaumont reporting on what, as the part of the edit you did not touch shows, was a current response among several sources documenting reactions. Since TGS did not challenge this, I thought it reasonable to infer that his original objection was waived. Examined Beaumont's piece, though headed 'Opinion', has none of the hallmarks of an opinion piece since it reports two court verdicts and summarizes what was being said by Ashrawi. Nishidani (talk) 17:05, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

And yet, it is clearly marked as an opinion in the top left of the piece, indicating this did not undergo the Guardian's editorial controls that are present for news reporting, nor would this ascribe to the POV of the Guardian's editors.Icewhiz (talk) 17:48, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
I have to fix your bad editing.Its appears on opinion section "Comment is free" and headed 'Opinion'.We can't have an exemption just because you want so and think that its not opinion.I have no problem restoring all the opinion pieces that was used before but this should consistent--Shrike (talk) 17:57, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Talking about my bad editing is what, in psychology, is called projection. Well, to run past you both the ABC of wiki policy. When using them, it is best to clearly attribute the opinions in the text to the author and make it clear to the reader that they are reading an opinion.Otherwise reliable news sources—for example, the website of a major news organization—that publish in a blog-style format for some or all of their content may be as reliable as if published in a more "traditional" 20th-century format
Beaumont there was used with attribution, he was named. Secondly, as usual, the excisionist edit summary was false. There was no collective decision. Don't waste my time with argufying. Memorize the policy and then next time don't write a false edit summary ('we' agreed) No one agreed. To the contrary.Nishidani (talk) 18:59, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Again I don't have a problem to use op-eds but all othe op-eds should return to the article do you agree?--Shrike (talk) 06:47, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
We evaluate things on a case-by-case basis. Opeds depend on (a) the quality of the writer (b) the quality of the publishing venue (c) the pertinence of the 'opinion' given to the basically factual thrust of wiki articles (and her T he Graceful Slick has given good advice). Nishidani (talk) 07:44, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

A bunch of comments

Content from Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedias

From a cursory glance at the Arabic version of this article using Google Translate, it doesn't seem to have notable info we don't have (or had and deleted) here, but I don't understand Arabic, so I hope someone else will review that. However, I do understand Hebrew, and the Hebrew version definitely has some notable info that isn't in the English version (and hasn't been here as far back as I checked). For instance, it mentions petitions by Amnesty International, Avaaz, and Dream Defenders that call for Tamimi's release, and mentions that Abbas met with her family at his office and declared her a honorary member of the Palestinian National Council. Any thoughts? Professor Proof (talk) 12:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Good article nomination

TheGracefulSlick, there have been some edit wars here relatively recently, and some content is still disputed. Doesn't that fail good article criterion #5? As a part of the said content disputes, some editors seem to think the article isn't neutral, and thus if I were to review this nomination I wouldn't immediately determine that it meets #4. It fairly clearly meets #6, and it seems to be well-referenced enough to meet #2, though I didn't make sure the article reflects the sources. I'm not qualified to check the article against #1 and #3, which is why I won't actually review the nomination. Again, any thoughts? Professor Proof (talk) 12:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Typo

This one is trivial, but the article is extended-confirmed protected, so: the article describes Ammar Dweik as the "director of the The..." and makes a wikilink longer than it should be. I'd change it to "director of the Independent Commission for Human Rights". Professor Proof (talk) 12:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

That was it. If you reply, please do me a favor and ping me (not only in your first reply, I'm high-maintenance ). Cheers! Professor Proof (talk) 12:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Professor Proof. That was very helpful input. (1) Technically, virtually all Palestinian articles are generally subject to challenge as POV-based. If they seek a DYK, that applies all the more. I think the #5 criteria regarding this should examine if the protesting editors have drawn up a list of problems/concerns, and, if so, whether they have been addressed. Revert wars are to be expected, but good faith is shown by this procedure. I don't think anyone has troubled themselves to outline on the talk page such a bulleted list and in the meantime, those issues that have been raised were addressed here and in editing. The article has stabilized. (2) Your point re Dweik has been readily adopted, sensible. (3) I removed one dead linked article, which was an eyesore and, on scrutiny, not needed given the abundance of references for the same content. Regards Nishidani (talk) 13:04, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

1) Change: "... to the expansion of Jewish settlements and detention of Palestinians."

To: "... to the expansion of Israeli settlements and detention of Palestinians."

Reason: Israeli settlements are open to all Israeli citizens regardless of national/ethnic identity

2) Change: "... were filmed slapping, kicking, and shoving them; the soldiers do not retaliate"

To: "... were filmed slapping, kicking, and shoving them; the soldiers did not retaliate."

Reason: Grammatical accuracy Mwishlight (talk) 10:33, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

The second change has already been made. The first needs a reliable source indicating that the settlers were not Jewish. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:26, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Ahlam Tamimi Family connection- The Sbarro suicide bombing

How come some information is omitted such as her Family’s criminal records and terror activism? Ahed’s call for terror attacks in social Media? Without mentioning all facts, this log is slanted and won’t portray the truth. Facts should be included in the most impartial manner. Charlotte253 (talk) 18:33, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Can’t agree more. The entire article is biased and omits basic facts such as the fact that her aunt is Ahlam Tamimi, the perpetrator and facilitator of the The Sbarro restaurant suicide bombing, also called the Sbarro massacre, which was a Palestinian terrorist attack on a pizzeria in downtown Jerusalem, Israel, on 9 August 2001, in which 15 civilians were killed, including 7 children and a pregnant woman, and 130 wounded (from the Wikipedia article). Or that her cousin - Nizar Tamimi who married Ahlam Tamimi is the murderer of Chaim Mizrahi in another terrorist attack.

It also omits the fact Chezi-Schlaff (talk) 23:57, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Using wiki-voice for POV stmt that at the minimum needs to be attributed

This edit re-instated in wiki-voice "her case also highlighted Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinian minors.". This is citing 3 sources (2 added vs. the original). The first, the Guardian (which was the original citation), says nothing of the sort and merely mentions minors being imprisoned. The second, The Intercept, is a highly biased anti-Israel source with factual reporting issues in its past - it doesn't quite say this - though I suppose one could summarize it. The third - CNN - is an acceptable source - however it doesn't say so in its own voice, but rather attributes this to HRW's Omar Shakir. At the very least, such a stmt should be attributed.Icewhiz (talk) 14:49, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Text her case also highlighted Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinian minors. Sources for the text. [1][2][3]

  1. ^ Holmes, Oliver (30 July 2018). "Ahed Tamimi: 'I am a freedom fighter. I will not be the victim'". The Guardian. Retrieved 31 July 2018.:'Her case has highlighted the arrest and detention of what local human rights groups say are more than 300 Palestinian minors.'
  2. ^ Alice Speri Homecoming:How Ahed Tamimi Became the Symbol of Palestinian Resistance to Israeli Oppression The Intercept 31 July 2018: 'Ahed’s story drew rare attention to the plight of Palestinian children held in Israeli military prisons — an overwhelming majority of them over stone-throwing incidents or for participation in protests — and the sham court proceedings, abuse and threat-filled interrogations, and extracted confessions to which they are subject.'
  3. ^ Oren Liebermann and Ian Lee, 'Ahed Tamimi: Palestinian teen who slapped Israeli soldier freed from prison,' CNN 29 July 2018:'Tamimi's case has become a lightning rod for criticism of the Israeli military, the military court system, and its treatment of Palestinian youth. "Israel's jailing of a child for eight months -- for calling for protests, and slapping a soldier -- reflects the discrimination, complete absence of due process, and ill-treatment of children endemic in Israel's military justice system. Ahed Tamimi is now free, but hundreds of Palestinian children remain locked up with little attention on their cases," said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch.'

There is no need for attribution when several sources state a fact. You call a POV statement a fact that is universally attested by the most important Human Rights analysts in the world. To call the beating hauling before military courts and gaoling of minors in an occupied country a 'point of view' is ridiculous, a refusal to face the obvious. I.e.

While the case of Palestinian teen activist Ahed Tamimi has conjured significant international media attention, her case is not unique. According to Israel Prison Service (IPS) statistics published by Israeli anti-occupation organization B’Tselem, Israel is holding over 300 Palestinian minors in prison. Just like Tamini, an alarming proportion of those minors are being held in detention until the end of legal proceedings, without having been convicted. Israel is the only country in the world that automatically prosecutes children in military courts that lack fundamental fair rights and guarantees. The systematic ill treatment and torture of Palestinian children has been widely documented in recent years, with Amnesty International finding that Israeli forces had “tortured and otherwise ill-treated Palestinian detainees, including children, particularly during arrest and interrogation”, with methods including “beating with batons, slapping, throttling, prolonged shackling, stress positions, sleep deprivation and threats.”

The three sources are stating the obvious, and together warrant the mild statement about the facts paraphrased in Wikipedia. If this were an extraordinary claim you might have a leg to stand on. It is obvious and therefore taking exception to them is carping. The Intercept is 'a highly biased anti-Israel source'? Well, The Jewish Chronicle, Jewish News and Jewish Telegraph are 'higjly biased anti-Palestinian sources' whose use on the Antisemitism in the UK Labour Party page you fully endorse. I don't object to their use, even though there the intent is to smear; you shouldn't object to the Intercept's reportage of, not a smear, but a universally accepted reality. Nishidani (talk) 15:31, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

While the "imprisonment" (and judicial process in military courts) of minors prosecuted for committing crimes is an accepted fact, labeling application of justice as "mistreatment", based on RS quoting HRW's director (or an Amnesty report) - should be attributed.Icewhiz (talk) 15:53, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
Read the reports. All three sources document and unequivocally state that they are maltreated, and no one who actually reads the evidence can doubt that 'maltreatment' is in fact a euphemism. Protection of minors is a u universal part of international law, and seizure, arrest, physical molestation, gaoling, and interrogation of children by grown battlehardened soldiers without the presence of parents or lawyers is psychologically devastating, and the first to know the effectiveness of this Stasi like treatment of minors are the people engaged in it. Nishidani (talk) 16:07, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Read The Guardian once again and see: "Concerns about her treatment in detention were raised after..." and also "Her case has highlighted the arrest and detention of what local human rights groups say are more than 300 Palestinian minors." Please note that the latter quote is attributing the number of detainees to human rights groups, so the fact her case "highlighted" something is not attributed in the text. CNN is saying almost the same thing in his own voice. Such a well-established fact does not need attribution. --Mhhossein talk 14:13, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Legitimation of stabbings and suicide atacks?

I wonder to find nothing about this alleged quote of Ahed Tamimi: "They have to take responsibility for whatever our reaction is — whether it's stabbing attacks, or suicide attacks, or stone throwing," Source: [1]

At first, I'd like to discuss if Tamimi really said this. You can also find this quote on several conservative Israeli media outlets, but this is the most neutral one that I could find. But it's just one. Does anyone know an actual video or post or twitter where she said/wrote that?

Second, if she said this, it would mean that she thinks that US and and Israel are to blame if any Israeli citizen gets stabbed or bombed. You could argue this was pretty close to "It's the Jews' fault their are being killed", and the cited article says it's actually the same thing. So if it's her actual quote, this perspective should be presented in the article.

For now, I'd like to discuss on this discussion page IF she said this at all. JakobvS (talk) 13:04, 30 September 2018 (UTC)Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).

  • According to Newsweek, Tamimi's "mother, who filmed the event, was charged with assault and incitement after posting a video of the teen on social media in which she urges others to protest against Israel with stabbing attacks or suicide bombings." Per Times of Israel: "The 17-year-old was also filmed encouraging attacks against Israelis, including stabbing attacks." Scaleshombre (talk) 16:51, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
This is a talk page for discussing article improvement, not the Bash The Tamimis page. Zerotalk 01:53, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
Exactly. To improve the page with relevant, RS information, like in this case. Scaleshombre (talk) 05:58, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
You can find anything you like in a "reliable source"; it doesn't excuse you from the obligation to locate the best sources and cite them correctly. If you had clicked on Newsweek's source for this "quotation" you would have found that it is not a quotation from the video but a quotation from the military prosecutor's indictment. Everyone who keeps track of these things knows that such indictments can't be treated as fact. Indeed, it soon transpired that there was no mention of "suicide bombings" on the video at all. What she said was "martyrdom operations", or to some translators "martyrdom-seeking operations", which in Palestinian parlance is a far wider expression that includes things like walking towards the Gaza fence. Zerotalk 09:40, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
We should possibly include the full quotation of "martyrdom operations" (suicide operations). However, it is clearly relevant and DUE to the subject of this article - given that much of her infamy/publicity has arisen from her arrest and conviction for (partially, in addition to her other actions) these words. Icewhiz (talk) 12:09, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Alright. So, Newsweek quotes Haaretz, which quoted Ahed what Tamimi said in her mother's video [2]: “Whether it is a stabbing attack or suicide bombing or throwing rocks, everyone needs to do something and unite in order for our message to reach those who want to liberate Palestine.”[3] It's the same quote we find here. (However, this Camera-site has a clear pro-Israel stance): [4]

I suggest: Let's put this quote in the article, and let's mention that she and her mother were prosecuted due to this statement, because she would encourage stabbings. Due to this site, Medium, which has a clear Anti-Israel stance, these charges were later dropped: [5]. Al Jazeera, which has an Anti-Israel-stance as well, but is a source you can quote, confirms that the Tamimis lawyer, Gabi Lasky, said the prosecution dropped the charges.[6]

I think this is enough to put the whole matter in the article. She said something controversial, we quote that, tell the reader that she was prosecuted due to this, and that later the charges were dropped. Everyone agrees? JakobvS (talk) 07:28, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Besides the language in the video being rather self evident, the quote in Newsweek (and Haaretz which says Tamimi said this - not that the prosecutor said she said this) is more than sufficient for WP:V, and this definitely merits inclusion - which is strengthened by this appearing in later sources as well - e.g. the NYT on her release in 2018 - Critics of Ms. Tamimi point to a part of the video in which she declared, “Our strength is in our stones,” and appeared to condone, or justify, stabbings, suicide bombings and other violence.[3] as well as Haaretz,[4] as well as later - e.g. JTA in Sep 2018 - [5]. Icewhiz (talk) 07:55, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Oh, please try to write things that are true. Newsweek: Ahed is quoted saying in her indictment, Haaretz reported. “Whether.... Haaretz: Whether ... the indictment quotes Tamimi as saying. NYT: appeared to condone (where is "appeared" in your proposed text?). The actual video does not literally say "suicide bombings", regardless of the indictment and sources that quote from the indictment. Even extremely hostile sources [6] [7] translate it as "martryrdom operations", as does at least one newspaper source [8] more highly respected than JTA. Zerotalk 08:52, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Peer Haaretz in July 2018 - "The court also convicted Tamimi of incitement over statements she made in the video of the slapping incident: “I hope ... Our strength is in our rocks ... they need to bear responsibility for every response that will come from us – Whether it is a stabbing attack or suicide bombing or throwing rocks, everyone needs to do something ...""[9]. This is not attributed to the indictment or court - but as a stmt in Haaretz's voice regarding what Tamimi said. The term used by Tamimi is the term used in local Arabic for suicide bombings and is generally understood as such (but - we won't get far arguing over Arab translation between the two of us). Icewhiz (talk) 09:03, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Haaretz is quoting the charge she was found guilty of and I have no doubt they are quoting correctly. What she said in the video was "amaliyat istish’hadiya", which is "martrydom operations". For sure suicide bombings are examples of "amaliyat istish’hadiya" but so are lots of other things. Your claim that "amaliyat istish’hadiya" is generally understood as "suicide bombings" is simply a falsehood. In the Palestinian context, every time a Palestine is killed by Israel during an act of resistance it is called a martyrdom operation and the dead person is called a martyr. But why do I have tell you something that you already know? Zerotalk 11:44, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
As you know, amaliya is an action. It isn't any act of resistance - but some sort of attack against the opposing force. The most common form of "amaliyat istish’hadiya", in particular when the speaker already excluded stabbing operations (which may be seen in this manner), is suicide bombings - a term Muslims avoid since suicide is forbidden by Islam. Saying "martyrdom operations" sounds in English like some sort of odd euphemism or something medieval - which is why non-Arabic sources have tended to translate this to suicide bombing (and this is generally the case with the term - NEWSORGs, when they use it, do so almost only in quotes). However - all of this is neither here nor there (we won't be translating this ourselves) - Do you have an alternative mainstream source with a translation of the passage, or a description of the passage? Icewhiz (talk) 12:37, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

If "martyrdom operations" is the more literal translation, I think we should stick to this. The interested reader can then inform himself further how this term is to be understood. Her inclusion of stabbing as possible actions, for which not the stabber, but Trump would be responsible, says enough about how her approach isn't entirely non-violent, but rather ambigious. Icewhiz,Zero, both of you seem pretty competent about this case. Would one of you like to formulate something on the subject and include it in the article? JakobvS (talk) 16:15, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Details of her conviction by Israel

In the article it is described that she was convicted, among other things, of incitement. At the same time, without detailing the reasons for the conviction - it is implied that she is innocent or at the very least that she was convicted without any legally solid reasons. I would like to add one of the testimonies for her conviction for incitement, her saying: "Our strength is in our stone - I hope the whole world will unite, so that we can free Palestine. Because Trump's decision is a decision that has been made, they have to bear its consequences with any Palestinian reaction that comes - whether stabbing attacks, suicide bomb attacks, throwing stones, everyone needs to do something so that we can unite on the path, which, if Allah wills, will be the liberation of Palestine." sources (including video of her saying this): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCXoHzX8LEs (Kan11) https://www.israelhayom.co.il/article/528779 (Maariv) and more.

Instagram account suspended following call to butcher civilians

The article should include the fact her Instagram account (@ahed_tamimi15) was suspended on Oct 31st 2023, during the 2023 Israeli-Hamas war, following a story she uploaded saying in Hebrew and Arabic: "Our message to the flocks of settlers: we're waiting for you in all the West Bank cities, from Hebron to Jenin. We will butcher you and you will say that what Hitler did to you was a joke. We will drink your blood and we will eat your skulls. Advance, we're waiting for you."

Thats been responded to. They confirm there is somebody on Twitter saying she said this. That remains gossip. nableezy - 19:52, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Per WP:BLP this exceptional claim requires much better sourcing than this. And per BLP, this cannot be restored absent an explicit consensus for it here, see WP:BLPREQUESTRESTORE. This is a collection of poor sources engaging in hearsay, and it is not acceptable in a BLP. nableezy - 16:28, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Agree with Iskandar323. And the twit linked above is dead and apparently improperly archived. The best primary source would be an archived link of Tamimi's post. But still, there's the possibility of account hacking, which Tamimi will have to assert herself.

If the report is correct, then it will almost certainly be pursued with great tenacity by her many foreign critics, and the necessary details will emerge. But as pointed out, an exceptional claim on a BLP page requires multiple, independent sourcing (not meme reproduction). It's not a question of censorship. If it can be reliably shown she said that, no one on wiki would stand by with toilet paper when the shit hits her fan(s). So I'm reverting until the full picture emerges. This caution is particularly important given that we are in a no-holds-barred war with reflexes in social media warring, not excluding hacking. Nishidani (talk) 17:52, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
Agreed, if this is true it will be picked up in more mainstream sources. Right now there are sources reporting that users on Twitter are saying Tamimi wrote these things. If that becomes high quality sources actually reporting she actually wrote these things then yes that should be included.

But I dont think any of these reach the bar for inclusion here, if this is actually real we are going to find out shortly, likely with an arrest and with international sources.

According to all the other mainstream media reports which include screenshots of her message, there is no reason to not include it in the article. Together with Instagram restricting her account. Over 7 independent verifications are enough for inclusion. dov (talk) 15:53, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for the edit. Yet, it is hard not to be amazed by the bias that is reflected of what is written. "The arrest followed Israeli media reports of a post on her Instagram account that had threatened settlers in the West Bank". One might mistakenly think that she was arrested for the crime of ordinary angry words, which any of us can experience. As if it is not, in fact, wishes for an agonizing death and words of praise and praise for Hitler's actions. I believe that adding the literal content of the post, combined with the claims of the Tamimi family ("Tamimi's mother stated that there were "dozens of (online) pages in Ahed's name with her photo, with which she has no connection" "), brings both sides In an optimal and neutral way - as Wikipedia strives for. 31.154.45.114 (talk) 13:03, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

That said, we could consider quoting something from the post. Since it's fairly clear from the article (atm) it lead to arrest on "suspicion of inciting violence and terrorist activities", I don't think it's essential, but it's not unreasonable either.
