Talk:National Religious Party

message: Which is more common in English? Mafdal's homepage refers to the party as NRP. How does this relate to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English)? Should the page be renamed  National Religious Party (this is now a redirect)? Gady 17:24, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I prefer the Hebrew name Mafdal as the name, since a "National Religious Party" can relate to other parties in other countries. But since there is a redirect is not much of an accutic problem. MathKnight 17:30, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: The English name is National Religious Party, often abbreviated as NRP.  Only Hebrew speakers refer to it as Mafdal. I'm not aware of any other political parties worldwide which are referred to as the "National Religious Party". Jayjg 18:26, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mafdal/NRP 

message: It might be just the wording, not the message, of whoever wrote these passages, but it should be IMHO reworded for subjective/biased and in any case, non-objective language:
=== Supporters === 
 Mafdal supporters are comprised mainly of religious Zionists, who are ideologically religious Jews, which obey all the laws and commandment (Mitzvah) of Judaism. They are considered as highly-motivated and disciplined soldiers and have excellent reputation of contributing to the Israeli state and the Israeli society. However, they are idealist and very stubborn concerning ideology issues. Many of them are living in West Bank settlements. 
MUST be re-worded. Reputation? Whose? Many? How many? "idealist" and "stubborn" is highly subjective and doesn't follow Wiki's guidelines. Considered? By whom? (as a side note, I must say that the image of the "settler with the Uzi" is actually one of the images that is being used by Israel's opponents and critics, and does not necessarily compliment Israel as written before. In other words, controversial at best). And - Whose quote is that? 
:It is based on general atmosphere of public, as manifests on small-talks, TV magazines and newspapers articles and "color stories". The military reputation of the religious Zionist (RZ) soldiers is attributed to serveral stories in the Israeli press which point out the how the RZ filling up the petty officer and field command ranks, and are given complements by senior officers.
:As for "idealist" and "stubborn", if you can find better words for young people keen to their beliefes and idealogy, please tell me. 
:The "settler with the Uzi" is not directly related to Mafdal and RZ, as not all of its supporters are settlers and not all settlers are religious. MathKnight 10:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it pretty obvious it is attributed to Mafdal's wrbsite. MathKnight 10:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

text: Not all RZ support Mafdal, though it is identified as the leader of the RZ public. As for education system: the religious-state-sponsered elementry and high school are operated by the State of Israel but almost were supervised by Mafdal Knesset member in the ministry of Education. Higher religious education is funded by state, but operated and supervised by Mafdal or senior RZ rabbis. MathKnight 10:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

text: Be more specific. The main criticism of Mafdal is regarding the settlements issue. In the last few Knesset none of Mafdal Knesset members was involved in corruption scandal AFAIR. MathKnight 10:04, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Supporters 

message: There is a lot of critism that the Mafdal is focused too much on the Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip,  and neglects other issues such as education, social responsibility and Ahavat Israel. [...] Despite all the criticism, Mafdal has a reputation of honesty and dedication to its parliamentary duties.  None of its Knesset members has been blamed in corruption. 
(Is it a paid ad by the Mafdal?).
