Talk:Leon Klinghoffer

message: I believe the use of the word "brazenly" in this sentence, "Foreign Secretary Farouq Qaddumi brazenly suggested that the terminally ill Marilyn Klinghoffer had killed her husband for insurance money" falls under Wikipedia's POV.Mahammad Kalfat (talk) 11:36, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The thing is that when he said it he knew very well that it was extremely unlikely to be true, and he also knew very well that he would convince extremely few people in the West to believe it to be true, so that it's rather difficult to assign any motivation for why he said it -- other than that he enjoyed being an asshole and taunting the victims of terrorist attacks...

replies: text: Again, you don't use it in this way in an encyclopedic entry. "In what some commentators regarded as 'brazen' statements, Farouq Qaddumi suggested that..." is an option (if those commentators do exist and could be cited) Mahammad Kalfat (talk) 08:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What alternative better wording do you suggest to convey the fact that he knew he was lying?  AnonMoos (talk) 20:57, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Mahammad is correct. "Brazenly" would be a bad word choice in pretty much any article here on any subject. As for alternative wording, whatever is found would have to come from a reliable source. IronDuke 16:51, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The subject was killed with a firearm/murdered, etc. in Syria. The ship was in Syrian waters at the time, not international waters. Syrian waters is territorially part of Syria. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:25, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

message: This might be a minor point, but does anyone know the cause of Klinghoffer's disability? It just seems odd that there is no mention of it here. 70.88.213.74 (talk) 19:32, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Notice in an article about an Israeli atrocity, the words 'murder' and 'terrorism' except in the context of the quotations from Palestinians regarding the event. Using Israeli articles as a template, I don't see why language about Palestinian terrorism and murder are acceptable when they are in this article.
Or maybe that just means I need to update the terminology in the Israel articles... Solntsa90 (talk) 18:14, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The word "murder" applies to any killing whatsoever which does not result from a war fought according to the accepted laws of war or an established judicial process for convicting and sentencing criminals.  The killing of Leon Klinghoffer self-evidently does not fall under either of those exceptions, and is therefore murder plain and simple. As discussed on your user talk page, your offered alternative ("execution") is unfortunately ridiculous and absurd in this context. AnonMoos (talk) 15:57, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

message: An IP has suggested a rather short section be split into a new article.  There is no reason to do so.  Nor has one been proferred.  I suggest the tag be speedily removed. 
If an article becomes too large, or a section of an article has a length that is out of proportion to the rest of the article, it is often appropriate for some or all of the article to be split into new articles. That's quite obviously not the case here.
Perhaps it was an editing test by the IP.Epeefleche (talk) 04:25, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps. But as that editor's other change wasn't supported by the source, I've reverted the edits. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:33, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

message: I added the needed see-also link to Alex Odeh (he was part of the aftermath), but forgot I wasn't logged in when I made the edit (sorry)... AnonMoos (talk) 21:22, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Sheikh Yassin might also be relevant, but since there's separation in time and space, I won't add a link... AnonMoos (talk) 21:25, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

message: I am the son-in-law of Leon Klinghoffer.  Based on discussions with his daughters, we want to point out that the following is not true from the article: "He flew missions in B-24 Liberator bombers with the famous 93rd Bombardment Group in the European theater of World War II."  Leon was inducted into the Air Force on May 5, 1942.  He graduated from the Casey Jones School of Aeronautics on November 25, 1942 and was a airplane mechanic.  He was made a corporal on June 1, 1943.  He was honorably discharged on January 17, 1944.
In addition, the picture with Mr. Tannenbaum is not our father.  There are many Klinghoffer's in Israel and some people with the name Leon Klinghoffer.  Perhaps this is a picture of another Leon Klinghoffer.
