Sorry, Omrim. I've no doubt at all of your good faith. It's indicated by the remark you made, which idiots might hold against you (if they do, report them, and I will back you).

Neither you nor I, nor an American, or Russian etc. can ever state that he or she knows for a fact that his own country's actions, when reported as involving deliberate murder of civilians in conflict, are untrue. The literature by soldiers in Hebrew, from Uri Avnery's 1949 memoir through to recent times, abounds in episodes in which these things have occurred among given units, under given commanders (Sharon, to judge from his biographies, was a natural killer, a rarity, but they exist). Policy is one thing. What happens on the ground, throughout an army's ranks, another. We find this everywhere in the literature, on Vietnam, WW2, Iraq,etc., after the dust has settled. I can't accept this on general principles of humanity. You are telling me that incidents like these don't occur, uniquely, because Israeli soldiers and airmen differ from all other soldiers in the world? In war one can guarantee the probity of one's own and fellow soldiers' actions, but nothing further up the line or in the air. The US army psychologists have long admitted what must be true of all armies (it was of my father and uncle's), i.e., that 5% of the men are natural killers, enjoy it, and enjoy the opportunity war provides them to kill wantonly. One cannot make a blanket defence of an entire complex military machine, anywhere on earth. In every war members of my family have been in, anecdotes of such things have been handed down, in detail, not to speak of what a reasonably wide reading of military history tells one. That said, I do appreciate you're being forthcoming, and the probity of the way you put your reminder above, re Samouni. It's just I dislike the frequency with which, in some editors, Pallywood innuendoes crop up (not in your case) whenever Palestinians report on their casualties. Sorry for soapboxing. I hope we can leave it at that. Regards Nishidani (talk) 22:45, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

missing source link

"A decisive majority of respondents support continuing the army's air campaign against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip without endangering the lives of Israel Defense Forces soldiers in a ground off"

you forgot to link to the source on this one. thanks. Untwirl (talk) 15:34, 8 January 2009 (UTC) Will do, thanks for noting.--Omrim (talk) 15:57, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough

friend. What I meant to say that is, well, I'm speaking of my own experience of course, and shouldn't use that to give lessons, that as a person I have all sorts of strong ethical convictions and biases, in so far as these ethical principles inform me, but as an editor on wiki, or an historian, I can't let that pronounced way of thinking or acting, tilt my perceptions as to how primary evidence is to be evaluated. Gibbon's dictum that history is a record of the 'crimes... follies of mankind' is 'eventual, as the French love to say, but, at the same time, events occur through the interaction of individual and collective subjects who colour the events they participate with their interpretations that then influence the way those events play out in a complex hermeneutic circle. One does well to look at anything to see the order of events, and facts, first and foremost, then delve into the agents' mode of perceiving and acting within that framework of facts (their moral, amoral, strategic, emotive take on what has happened and what they ought to do according to these criteria). Here there are two parties, and of course I espouse the Palestinian cause and that is my bias. But that espousal must not blind me to the natural cynicism of the historian's eye, which means news of Hamas operatives handing out candy when the bombing began, or a jihadist happy to see, as he has his wounds treated in hospital, how many other people are suffering, are registered in my mind for the second dimension, that dark zone of individual and collective psychology where the formal rules and facts are coloured by emotional and ideological appraisels of events, producing the pathologies we all know about. One of the greatest of historians, murdered by the Nazis just as his career promise had been compromised by some French colleagues, wrote before the Holocaust swept him up,

'Le bon historien, lui, ressemble à l’ogre de la légende. Là où il flaire la chair humaine, il sait que là est son gibier.’(A fine historian'ssomeone who bears comparison to the ogres of legend, he knows, when he catches the scent of human flesh, that there's the game he'll prey on)

by which Marc Bloch meant, historians while committed to the intense analysis of the cold world of archival documents, find their métier ultimately in sniffing out for the raw human dimension behind the dry facts. But he can only do that if he has mastered the dry facts. To bring the human dimension, or an ethical sense of what is probable or desirable, to one's evaluation of the data, is to wreck things, and stop us ever from seizing on the hidden dimension, the complex manifold of all to human emotions, hatreds, passions and prejudices one aspires to intuit behind the bare facts. As wiki editors we are called to honour NPOV. There is no room for this dimension of ethics, or the miserable motives of actors. This is hard indeed, just as the profession of an historian is hard, because we come to the world full of our individual, class, and collective cultures, and find suspension of these elemental perceptions hard. If we learn to woo the hard material facts, there still remains the fact that our choice of the factual cannot slip through the rudimental nets of our ethical and emotional assumptions. Raul Hilberg, one of the greatest historians of the last century, was told by his mentors to leave out material he had discovered in the archives on the holocaust, about certain rabbinical negotiations with the Nazis that gave the latter the names of lower class Jews, as a bargaining chip to secure safety at least some of the community, the wealthy, the pious. He didn't. He had an immense amount of difficulty in getting published, precisely because his factual integrity refused to elide unbearably painful data as a gesture to career prospects, his community's comfort, or his personal equanimity. In these I/P articles, we are all suspicious of each other, and tend to read, and select material which shows 'our side's best side, while holding to ransom edits that look like undermining the positive image, or improving the other side's image. The Israeli will often think every page embodies a potential threat to his national image, the Palestinian side every page the hegemony of a national image that, until now, has excluded the very existence of their nation as a cultural fact, if not a fact on the ground. A little good will, which means that no one's history is free of Gibbon's crimes, follies, etc., would go a long way to providing a more collaborative atmosphere. Hamas certainly has its maniacal fanatics, its sacrificial fundamentalist ideology, but if one edits this stuff, one does well to keep in mind that on the West Bank, there are numerous rabbis of influence and prestige, like Moshe Levinger, who espouse the idea that Palestinians are descendants of the Amalekites, and piety commands, according to Maimonides' halachic rules, that they be exterminated. The mainstream press is replete with Hamas's pathological trends, and relatively silent on what is taught in Hebron. I do appreciate your civil conscience here. But one must not blind one's evaluation of realities by moral scruples in writing to the text. One must simply, esp. here, be well aware that anything one might like to edit in to show one's own side to advantage, or to cast a shadow on the other's, can be countered, almost automatically, by a mirror action by an editor whose principles disagree with your own. And therefore, rather than play with POVing the text, to make it hard for the text to be troubled by factitious evidence-stacking. This in itself requires the kind of scruple your remark exemplifies. Scruples are best applied to the close assaying of evidence, rather than to a conscience of the wrongness of the parties. On this I think we can find common ground, despite the considerable distance which separates our respective POVs. Best regards Nishidani (talk) 12:26, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Just wanted to say

that your comments on the horribly disfigured 2008-2009 conflict discussion are really good. It's a tough fight against all those biased anti-Israelis out there. Rabend (talk) 08:32, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Add to Op Cast Lead:

• Refs. calling it "Gaza War" in the lead (after the "Gaza Massacre" sentence).
• Darshowitz's WSJ article to the legal section.
• Huge pro-Isreali demos (35K London) to erase the word "smaller". Refs. that most anti-israeli demos were arranged and executed by muslims.
• Check the claim Israel rejeced truce in mis Dec. Find appearent Ynet articel quoted Diskin.
• Add ref. it was Palestinians who attacked UNRWA convoy.
• Section on rocket attack of civilian facilities

"Gaza Massacre"

Hello, I was compiling fromthe archives who was against using the arab word for the conflict in the, I did not see your name in any of the discussion. This may have been simple oversight on my part, but others say you were opposed. As you have been one of the more fair-minded people in any of the discussions (and I dont want to spend another hour going through the ever-growing list of archives again)I just wanted to get your opinion. Do you really think that the name the arab world has given the conflict should not be in the lead? Let me know, thanks Nableezy (talk) 19:38, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

i understand that people find it objectionable, and I would be cool with adding Gaza War as name used by Israeli media, but I appreciate you not just pre-judging. You mind if I quote you on the page or would prefer to stay out? I only ask because tundrabuggy claimed you were against. Nableezy (talk) 19:52, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Thats cool, just other a saying that you were clearly against. I wont bring it up there other than to say I do not Omrim involved in the discussion. Nableezy (talk) 19:54, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

cool Nableezy (talk) 19:57, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey could you find an Israeli media source that calls it the Gaza War and change the part of the Israeli name to something like 'the operation has been codenamed 'Operation Cast Lead' by the IDF and widely referred to in Israeli media as 'The Gaza War'. or whatever wording you think appropriate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nableezy (talk • contribs) 22:12, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

and obviously I think a Hebrew source translated would be fine :). Nableezy (talk) 22:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Could you find a source for the Hebrew usage of Gaza War? I think we are getting somewhere on the lead page but some references for hebrew usage would help. Nableezy (talk) 17:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

good work

I just wanted to mention that you have shown a consistent ability to adhere to the sources on both sides, and not letting propaganda from either side be reported as fact, and for that I commend you. Peace and happiness. Nableezy (talk) 02:10, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk page

When you revert someone, and realize it, you should explain yourself on the talk page. Seeing that you haven't, I have asked you for an explanation there.VR _talk 03:53, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Grossly

"Israeli officers said that the official death toll of 42 was "grossly exaggerated", comparing the incident to one in which three IDF soldiers were killed when a tank fired two rounds, believed to have a larger impact than mortar rounds, into a building occupied by 50 IDF soldiers." - obviously the gist of this statement should be there, but in this case i myself added last night (before you did, otherwise i wouldn't do it) the same quote, and i think that in this case it might indeed be redundant. i wrote: "According to IDF officers, the number of casualties reported by Hamas is grossly exaggerated." i chose not to include the comparison part, coz it made it kinda look a story being told, and it was getting long.
my opinion is that my edit should stay, perhaps changed into: "According to IDF officers, the number of casualties reported by Hamas is grossly exaggerated, noting the type of equipment used."
what do you think? Rabend (talk) 07:00, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

You are invited to join WikiProject Israel, an attempt to build and maintain an extensive and neutral database of Israel related articles on Wikipedia. To join, simply add your name to the members section of WikiProject Israel.

First things first, as the message suggests, you are invited to join the project, take part in discussions and stuff... :)

The article is nice. I actually have a source about it (Abraham Rabinovich's The Boats of Cherbourg). I was planning on doing some other articles this weekend, but maybe I'll do that also. I'll keep you posted. Cheers, Nudve (talk) 06:08, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to WP:MILHIST!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
• Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, article logistics, and other tasks.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
• If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts and copy-editing alerts.
• The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 20:22, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

re: Operation Badr

Hi. Please mind WP:CANVASS. It's considered inappropriate to ask another user to "support" you in a discussion. You should approach users in a neutral manner and ask them to voice their opinion. I have that article on my watchlist, and will rejoin that discussion. -- Nudve (talk) 15:11, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

War over the Water

Kudos on the initiative :)

You seem to have more sources on the subject than I have. BTW, if you are knowledgeable on that subject, there is a discussion currently going on over at talk:Six-Day War regarding the conflict between Israel and Syria being a catalyst to the war. Your contribution would be welcome. BTW, have you seen the recent edit to Marsa Talamat? if so, are you OK with it? it's unsourced and unexplained. Cheers, Nudve (talk) 18:26, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

At the end of the article, an Israeli general states the facts. Look at what he said.

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
