thread_title: Attempts to bias entries on Wikipedia

message: There needs to be clearer distinction between no diplomatic relations and not recognising Israel as a state. I cant speak for any other countries, but in Malaysia I strongly believe that the official stand is recognition of the state of Israel to the pre 1967 borders, but with no diplomatic relations. This is based on statments of government officials and the fact that even the official Malaysian atlases have Israel on the map (though with disputed territorial boundaries clearly indicated). I propose that every state in the list of countries not recognising israel's statehood be accompanied with a citation in which the non recognition is clear and obvious.
Because of this, I am changing Malaysia from non recognition to no diplomatic relations.-BaronVonchesto BaronVonchesto 15:30, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

So should Chad be added on the list of countries with whom Israel has diplomatic relations?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krotx (talk • contribs) 21:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Nuclear tests conducted by Israel are somewhat relevant to the foreign policy of Israel. Unexplained flashes in the Indian ocean, alleged by some anonymous authors to possibly be a nuclear test in which Israel may or may not have participated, with or possibly without the cooperation of other nations, one of which may or may not be South Africa, and all of this without a shred of evidence - is a speculative conspiracy theory, perhaps worthy of a Hollywood movie, but one which has no place in an Encyclopedia.

message: Why are you replacing this
: According to David Albright of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, "Faced with sanctions, South Africa began to organize clandestine procurement networks in Europe and the United States, and it began a long, secret collaboration with Israel." although he goes on to say "A common question is whether Israel provided South Africa with weapons design assistance, although available evidence argues against significant cooperation." 
with this
: According to David Albright of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, "... available evidence argues against significant cooperation."
Surely the larger quote is more accurate and representative of what he actually says in the paper, rather than a misrepresentative sentence fragment? The sentence fragment is not evidence against a joint programme but only applies to "weapons design assistance".
Secondly, why did you remove the fact that Chris McGreal wrote in the Guardian? That's a relevant fact regarding the credibility of the story; he did not self-publish his article.
Thirdly, why did you restore the sentence "Israeli ambassadors spoke publicly against racism in apartheid South Africa." despite the fact there are no citations that ambassadors did do such a thing?
Fourthly, why did you replace "Israel developed a relationship with South Africa during the 1970s and 1980s." with "There are controversial claims that Israel developed a relationship with South Africa during the 1970s and 1980s."? Are you denying that Israel and South Africa did have a relationship during the 70s and 80s, against the many sources in the article? Do you have sources that claim this?

message: Many of the countries listed as having no formal diplomatic ties with Israel have, in fact, formally recognised Israel as a state, including some major Arab countries. I'm sorry I haven't found the actual citation yet. Perhaps somebody should research this as I feel it deserves a mention.
:I wonder what's the criteria for recognition here. Do we look for official declaration? Tunisia, Morocco and other countries accept Israeli tourists bearing Israeli passports on a regular basis. That it counts as recognition? According to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Israel is recognized by 164 countries in 1998, and by 159 countries in 2003. I don't know what they criteria are, and why they report a decrease of 5 countries within 5 years (as far as I know, none of the countries which recognize Israel have been organized in a federation during this period).

thread_title:  Some nation i added 

message: Hey, some one has provided completely false information(with no links) in relation to Pakistan's recognition of Israel. Pakistan has clearly stated that any recognition of Israel is only possible after a 'two state’ solution to the Israel-Palestinian problem, which obviously is not the case at the moment. And all this can be verified at the respective Israeli, Pakistani foreign ministry websites as none of them have any diplomatic relations what so ever. I was hoping some one could fix this, thank you. 
http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/pakistan/2005/pakistan-050902-irna01.htm
This statement "Both Israel and Pakistan are former British colonies that were established as states" is nonsense.  Israel was never a colony of the British.  Palestine was never a British colony.  Pakistan was technically not a colony of the British, but a nation created as a consequence of independence of India of which Pakistan was part.  In any case, what I gather the author tried to establish is a relationship that never existed, or worse, establish some equivalence to the establishment of each state.

message: I have removed the following text about the TRNC:
This statement does not seem to be supported by the source.  Nor am I certain that it makes sense for Israel to de facto recognize it: either Israel recognizes it or it doesn't.  The actual source suggests: "The move sends diplomatic signals that Israel is considering acceptance of the Turkish breakaway state founded in 1983 and recognized only by Turkey."  I'm not so sure about this, since there appear to be no official statements to back anything up.  So, since it appears quite speculative, I suggest holding off until more concrete sources emerge.

I've changed that to "some" instead of "the majority" - there is no source as to show if it's half of them (anyhow, is there any definition of what's exactly an Arab or Muslim state?) or more or less... Some Arab and Muslim states do actually accept the entry of Israelis (with Israeli passports), as Morocco does, for example (okay, I'll look up a source for that). The only two states I know for sure reject any passport with the slightest trace of an Israeli visit are Syria and Lebanon. Probably Saudi Arabia does, too. Israeli officials told me - I know, that's OR - that I shouldn't be afraid of being stamped at the entry "because unless Syria and Lebanon, most Arab states nowadays would let you pass with an Israeli stamp".

message: I noticed a couple of grammatical issues in the United Arab Emirates section I have noted my changes with Italics.
Relations are typically tense. No Israeli citizens has beenallowed entry following the assassination of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh even if trying to enter using a foreign passport. The United Arab Emirates does not recognize Israel as a state, and the two countries do not have diplomatic or economic relations. More recently relations have improved to the extent that Israel has decided to open an office in Abu Dhabi, albeit only as a mission to the International Renewable Energy Agency.

message: The paragraph mixes things when it uses 'jew' instead of 'Israeli'
The disapproval rates are against Israeli, and not against jews, true there is a mix between the two within non educated slices, but Lebanese citizens do not have same attitude toward a Jewish person from France or USA (who doesn't carry an Israeli passport) and an Israeli citizen (who is referred to Zionist, in reference or Zionist movement that established Israel. I advise updating this section by replacing 'jew' with 'Israeli' for accuracy. This mistake might not be innocent because Israeli tend to mask things here as anti-Semitic to get bias and sympathy.

In fact, the full relations were never re-established after being severed in the 1980's. There were recently 3 bilateral agreements that did not amount to full relations (there was no accredited Israeli ambassador to the Maldives and vice versa), and these were later annulled.

thread_title: UAE & Bahrain, also recognition count

message: Israel does not currently maintain diplomatic relations with the Maldives (though the latter does recognize the State of Israel). Previous diplomatic relations lasted between 1965 and 1974, and were then suspended. During the 1990's they indeed improved, culminating in the signing of 3 mutual agreements, however they never developed into full diplomatic relations. In fact, as mentioned on the Israel-Maldives relations section and wiki entry, even the aforementioned agreements were ultimately dissolved in 2014. See sources: https://mfa.gov.il/mfa/pressroom/2011/pages/maldive_foreign_minister_visiting_israel_17_may_2011.aspx and https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-warns-israelis-to-leave-crisis-racked-maldives/amp/.
The entry's first paragraph (as well as footnote 1) should therefore be amended: "Israel has diplomatic relations with 161 of the other 192 UN member states as of September 2020.[1] Israel maintains full diplomatic relations with two of its Arab neighbours, Egypt and Jordan, after signing peace treaties in 1979 and 1994 respectively. In 2020, Israel signed agreements establishing diplomatic relations with two other Arab countries, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. Thirty one UN member states do not have relations with Israel: 17 of the 21 UN members in the Arab League (Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen), 10 other members of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Niger and Pakistan), Bhutan, Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela.[2]"
The diplomatic relations map should also be amended accordingly to reflect the Maldives as having previous diplomatic relations with Israel (painted green with the year 1974 attached).
Under the section Diplomatic Relations, the first paragraph should read: "After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Israel was subjected to Arab League boycotts and attempts to diplomatically isolate the state. As of 2020, Israel has diplomatic ties with 161 out of the other 192 member states of the United Nations, as well as with the Holy See, Kosovo, the Cook Islands and Niue.[1] Some other countries recognize Israel as a state, but have no diplomatic relations. Several countries once had diplomatic relations with Israel, but have since broken or suspended them (Cuba and Venezuela in Latin America, Mauritania in the Arab League, Mali and Niger in non-Arab Africa, the Maldives in Southern Asia and Iran until the Islamic revolution). In addition, a number of countries (all members of the Arab League) that at one time had formal economic ties (primarily trade offices) with Israel, which fell short of full diplomatic relations, have severed such ties (Morocco, Oman, Qatar and Tunisia)." 
The section Member States of the United Nations should also be amended ("As of 2020, 31 United Nations member states do not maintain diplomatic relations with Israel..."), and "the Maldives (1965-1974)" should be added under South and Central Asia.
The Maldives section should read along the lines of: "Israel and the Maldives established diplomatic relations in 1965, but these were suspended in 1974. Relations between the two countries has started to warm up when a new government came into power in the Maldives in 2008.  The president of Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed announced that he would like to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, and the countries have signed 3 bilateral agreements. However, the renewed relationship has never developed into full diplomatic relations."
: Some news articles claimed that the Maldives established diplomatic relations with Israel in 2009, and that in 2014 the Maldives canceled the agreements but didn't fully sever relations. However, direct government sources from both countries during that period and currently state that the countries don't have diplomatic relations, so it seems that those news articles misinterpreted the situation. As you wrote, the agreements from 2009 didn't develop into full diplomatic relations. I corrected the article and map. Heitordp (talk) 03:45, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

message: Proposal to merge Arab states–Israeli alliance against Iran into Foreign relations of Israel. None of the article sources give the fact of this "alliance" together with a list of it's "members" so the article is lacking a foundational source. If it exists, it is not clear when it was founded or what its objectives are, only that some states might have some reason to fear or dislike Iran. Most of the sources talk singly about this or that or several states disliking Iran and therefore having some reason to cooperate with Israel but a confluence of interests is not the same as an alliance. Note that the list of members has fluctuated over the life of the article. A recent delete proposal resulted in keep in the sense of "do not delete" ie the material ought not to be lost and a merge considered. Several editors suggested a merge with Foreign relations of Israel and therefore this proposal is recommended.
 You recently participated in a discussion concerning the article Arab states–Israeli alliance against Iran which is now subject of this merge proposal.Selfstudier (talk) 16:01, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Reject Proposal: @Selfstudier: I believe it's  a noteworthy alliance that deserves it's own page. It is also sometimes referred to as a "Sunni-Israel" alliance. or "Israel Sunni Axis".

replies: text:  Search results are fine but every article needs a foundational source ie we need at least one source saying something like "Here is blah blah alliance between Israel and (list of members) that was set up on (date) to do (something)". We don't have that here, can you find one in that list of results? Until we have such a source, the article could just be complete fiction. eg I can write an article saying The Russo-Chinese alliance versus the US and find loads of sources saying how they both don't like the US and work together at the UN to frustrate the US etc etc but that does not mean that there is an alliance, right?Selfstudier (talk) 19:17, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  The middle east is a very complex region and Israeli-Arab ties are an extremely delicate relationship. Going back to the first US-Iraq war, the US asked Israel (it's ally),  not to join the coalition and to refrain from fighting back when they were attacked by Iraqi missles. Both the US and Iraq understood that an alliance with Israel could rally support on the "Arab Street" for Iraq. If you understand the region, you don't expect an alliance of this sort to be announced publicly. Inteligence reports of an alliance of this nature which are confirmed by the behavior of nations in question are sufficent.--Steamboat2020 (talk) 21:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

text: No: This article, Foreign Relations of Israel, is a broad survey of all of Israel's foreign relations and serves as a launching page to more detailed articles about those relationships. The Arab states–Israeli alliance against Iran article is one of those  related topics that certainly should be mentioned, and linked to from this article, but merging it into the article would be WP:UNDUE. --Chefallen (talk) 22:41, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: If it isn't mentioned in this article, the simplest way to achieve that would be to merge, wouldn't it? After the irrelevant material is removed there would only be a few sentences left to merge. Just for info, here is what an experienced editor thought about this article in 2019!. I never even heard of it until I accidentally showed up at the article last November, at that time the article stated that the U.S. was a member and that it was a "military alliance". Hmm.Selfstudier (talk) 14:12, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think this article is a stub that can be expanded. Firstly, it's a notable development that marks a sea change in the previously almost monolithically hostile approach of Arab states towards Israel. Secondly, it's a fairly recent development and can be expected to continue to evolve. Finally, there are already scholarly journals, foreign policy think analysts and newspapers who have taken note of it. (A quick sampling that took only minutes to find: World Affairs Journal, Brookings Institute, The Council on Foreign Relations, E-International Relations, FP,   Bloomberg news; and there are many more). So the Foreign Relations of the Israel article is an appropriate place to mention this developing change in Israel's foreign relations with Arab states, but it needs a link to an article which can be expanded with the background, history and development until now, and presumably future developments. --Chefallen (talk) 03:34, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the essence of what you are saying just that there is no "alliance" and there should not be an infobox of members implying that there is. If the article were merged here, one could start over with a proper analysis of the situation by editors who understand it instead of the random junk that's there now and then spin it out as, idk, "Winds of change in the Arab Israeli sphere" or some  title that more accurately describes what's going on, a confluence of interests, there's no joint commitment to anything, no money is changing hands. This is not a "deal" like, say, the UAE/Israel agreement, not even close. And I'm sure you agree that it would have been more usual to have started and then spun out from here, rather than trying to fix the mess for something not even mentioned here.Selfstudier (talk) 11:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  @Selfstudier: In your initial merger proposal you wrote: "A recent delete proposal resulted in keep in the sense of "do not delete" ie the material ought not to be lost and a merge considered.

However, in you comment above to @Chefallen you wrote that "If the article were merged here, one could start over with a proper analysis of the situation by editors who understand it instead of the random junk that's there now", which seems to imply that you don't want to keep the material in the article and that you are in essence seeking to just delete the article. Would you please clarify your stance and exactly what you are proposing to achieve with the merger and explain and how your proposal is compatible with the results of the recent delete proposal. --Steamboat2020 (talk) 22:13, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't said anything contradictory. Most of the material in the other article is not relevant, imagine if the article was merged here, what would you keep. Delete in the sense of do not delete means "keep relevant material somehow, usually in a merge". I didn't propose deletion, another editor did, probably it should have been merge to begin with (Iran proxy conflict might be another possible target, idk). Frankly, the other article is just a mess, if the idea of the thing is notable (ie some sort of axis or confluence of interest but not an alliance), then at a minimum it should be renamed and the material structured to reflect reality, not fiction. Again, if it is notable, why is not even mentioned in this article? Do you see the inconsistencies? Selfstudier (talk) 22:29, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct me if I am mistaken but the foundation of your argument is your belief that the entire basis of the article is a complete fabrication. You accept that the countries in question all share a common anti-iranian goal and that on some level they even coordinate their iranian opposition. However, you believe that this doesn't qualify as an "alliance". I think you are setting a very high bar for an alliance. One of the accepted definitions of an "alliance" is merely "a relationship based on an affinity in interests, nature, or qualities." I encourage you to look it up!. Nobody is saying that the article doesn't need a lot of work but I do believe the premise of the article is both sound and notable--Steamboat2020 (talk) 23:29, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know to which argument your refer, there are several. The foundation of my argument in respect of the other page is clear from the tags I have placed, namely there is no source for the existence of an alliance or of its membership and therefore the article fails WP:V. After some period of time has elapsed to permit the location of such a source, the infobox will be deleted (two other editors have already done this and it has been improperly restored). The argument for merging I already made above and it seems perfectly clear to me. I can't force you to merge it, however you are mistaken if you think this problem will simply go away by virtue of obstruction.Selfstudier (talk) 11:56, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: There are more than enough references to “reports” of such an “alliance” by respectable media outlets. You are insisting upon a reference to an official government statement which is something that usually doesn’t happen with Israel/Arab relationships. The article doesn’t claim that it’s an alliance that has been officially declared. Quite the contrary, the alliance is referred to as “unofficial”.  There are many pages on Wikipedia that are dedicated to things that are “widely believed” but have never been “officially” confirmed. For example see: Nuclear weapons and Israel. -- Steamboat2020 (talk) 14:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
