replies: text: "Scorpion" was actually the codename of the British operative C.A.G. (Anthony) Simkins who Kollek liaised with.  Simkins later became deputy director-general of MI5.

thread_title:  missing details 

message: I originally put in the section called 'controversy' but now changed it to 'relationship with Arab community'.  Certainly there are two sides to this story: on the one side, the annexation, the demolitions and the discrimination, on the other, the comparison with what came before the united Jerusalem.  
I think this section should focus on Kollek's role in all of this, what he thought and did, since the issues of the annexation are well-covered in different areas on the encyclopedia.  And it is an article about the man himself.
Maybe contributors could try not to get too worked up, as it appears they did: blaming the discrimination on the Palestinians, as someone tried to do, or calling a demoltion of some houses an 'atrocity' are not encyclopediac language.
I am not responsible for what is written below but I have flagged this section for neutrality after quotes I put in it and words I used were changed in a subtle manner.  The obituary cited in the article from the IHT and the article on Haaretz from Gideon Levy indicate that Kollek's rule over the Arabs was complicated - neither black nor white.  If this section is fixed I would be pleased to see material outlining this complicated relationship that was sometimes good, sometimes bad.  The flag is merited her because the article is turning into propaganda.Onaraighl 13:40, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Arabs only have relatively "fond" memories of Mr. Kollek because his successors are even more vile. Mr.Olmert actually banned the organised removal of garbage can contents in East Jerusalem hoping to expel arabs via odor and diseases (no, this is not a joke, this is reality) and this tactic remains in effect to this day! There are a thousand more reasons Jimmy Carter said jew maintain apartheid against palestinians and muslims in the Holy Land! 212.108.200.69 17:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relationship with Arabs 

message: Wikipedia's article about Teddy Kollek does not reflect the full scope of reality.
I read Gideon Levy's article published in Haaretz Jan. 7 2007.
He is a trustworthy journalist, critical of the occupation of Palestinian lands, including Jerusalem-East.
Wikipedia's article should reflect the information conveyed by Levy's article about Teddy Kollek's support of the settlement project.
The greatest settler, by Gideon Levy, Haaretz Jan. 7 2007

I am not familiar enough with Wikipedia to edit the page, or even add a link at the end.
But I find the article controversial and I hope that others can edit it.
Thank you.
