Talk:Rashid Khalidi

replies: text: (title and misleading accusations redacted for WP:BLP reasons) There is already an entire article about the incident, False Moshe Ya'alon quotation.  If you read that article the quotation was correct, save for the placement of the quote marks, which resulted in it being incorrectly and apparently mistakenly attributed to Ya'alon rather than an author who was characterizing what he argued to be Ya'alon's attitude.  Khalidi's role, as one of the 8-10 academics and prominent journalists and hundreds or thousands of less notable ones who repeated the inaccuracy, is minor.  Although it is indeed sloppy for any academic or journalist to repeat another's mistakes without checking the primary sources, it is not a noteworthy event in Khalidi's career, and we're not going to plaster this on every article about everyone involved, although I note that some of the activist press has been doing that in blogs and editorials.

message: I think the criticism section needs to be expanded. This page should not be a forum for political views, but at the same time he has been blasted for many of his controversial views. By not including these opinions, we are not giving a full picture of his public persona. Without an expanded criticism section, I think this does not have a NPOV. --Bobjohnson111980 (talk) 06:01, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

message: You can't just write a section called "racial slurs" and fill it up with claims against him (even one by a undergraduate student!).  It is a blatant WP:BLP violation.  You have to provide a reliable source for it, provide context, and if he responded to the charges (which he has) you have to bring his response. You cannot judge him in Wikipedia's voice.  Khalidi says "I was of course referring to those figures in and around the new administration and the Netanyahu government, irrespective of their religion, who promote a pro-occupation and pro-settlement political agenda."  which is the plain truth as you can hear for yourself.  Unfortunately for him, he chose the word "infest", which allowed his enemies to avoid responding to his political argument. Zerotalk 12:54, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Should a controversy or criticism section maybe be added? I understand NPOV needs to be maintained and it might be giving undue weight but I feel like the article could be expanded with one, or maybe a less-loaded 'reception' section? Khalidi's work has been discussed negatively and criticized quite a lot, it would paint a fuller picture. Cowlan (talk) 22:26, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: —by whom? Certainly not scholars of repute. This is ridiculous. إيان (talk) 07:57, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. I personally enjoy Khalidi's work, I was just wondering whether the article could be expanded. I tried finding reliable sources and while I did find some criticism from revisionist historians, it mostly comes from self published blogs, op-eds etc. Probably would be undue weight to include Cowlan (talk) 22:13, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Khalidi tries to make a case that there was widespread Arab peasant resistance to Zionist land purchase before 1914, but not very successfully. He relies on only a few instances of conflict to support his claim, but Avneri's more thorough research shows that these cases were not typical. In most cases the Arab tenants were happy to take the cash compensation and escape from the poverty of peasant life. In fact, some Arab peasants offered land for sale which they didn't actually own, knowing that the Zionists would pay anyway. (It's ironic here that the al-Khalidis were one of the leading Arab landowning families who sold a lot of their land to the Zionists). 144.6.1.58 (talk) 00:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: It's mentioned in This Very Wiki in the article on Mandatory Palestine that many land acquisitions and transfers were illegal and unregistered -- which are the transfers I refer to above. Khalidi is a -- self-admitted -- Palestinian nationalist and, sadly, in my view (having already done some years of an almost completed BA History major), a political (Nasserite) and ethnic (Arab) and religious (Islam) polemicist with very little material in his books that I have found genuinely useful. 144.6.1.58 (talk) 07:28, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
