Talk:Israel–New Zealand relations

message: I'm a little short on time today, but have a few suggestions on how this article could be improved:
*Expand the introduction to better represent the contents (a quick overview of the spy scandal, frex, would be appropriate)
*Explain why there being an embassy in Canberra (Australia, the country next door) is relevant to NZ-Israeli relations
*Per the conventions seen in most of the foreign relations articles, this should probably be titled New Zealand-Israel relations (ala Australia-New Zealand relations, Israel-United States relations, etc.)
*Format the news citations using Template:Cite news
That said, the article as a whole reads very well and I like it :) Ziggurat 23:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you suggesting that the New Zealand Herald made the story up? I think that's unlikely. I think that it is much more likely that some businesses but not all were affected. If you could find a counter quote in a reliable source, we could link to that too.-gadfium 19:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Re-reading the New Zealand Herald article, it wasn't written by the Herald itself but came through the NZPA, and was written by Yehonathan Tommer, who I think is based in Israel. The business that was hurt was with Israel, not with local businesses, and the local community was considered isolated because Israeli officials could no longer visit. I've changed the wording in the article to make this clearer.-gadfium 19:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Some improvements

message: A couple things that IMHO need fixing: 1) this article seems to be written from a NZ perspective and 2) a huge part of the artile reads like a blog on the recent events. Let's remember what WP is not. ←Humus sapiens ну? 00:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: To do

message: I suggest trying (very soon) in placing this on Did you know for full front page attraction. --Midnighttonight Remind me to do my uni work rather than procrastinate on the internet 10:11, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[WP:DYK]] 

message: That page (encyclopedic article?) doesn't even mention Israel. Why is it here? ←Humus sapiens ну? 03:50, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If one of the guys who was kidnapped was a New Zealander, then until there's a page on Iraq-New Zealand relations there should be a mention of the incident here. Republitarian 17:09, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  What does it have to do with Israel? Perhaps Iraq-New Zealand relations or Foreign relations of New Zealand but I fail to see the logic for putting it here. ←Humus sapiens ну? 20:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[2005-2006 Christian Peacemaker hostage crisis]] 

message: With respect...the personal opinions of a former MP who has never been elected to Parliament under ACT hardly constitutes reasonable or fair comment in a Wikipedia article about Israeli-New Zealand relations. Clearly this former Labour man has an axe to grind and his personal assumption concerning the relationship between Phil Goff and Arafat would be better vented in some gutter tabloid, not in Wikipedia. Political or religious opinion belongs somewhere else.
Lest we not forget that Gabi Ashkenazi is the chief of staff to the IDF and his associates had just been done for passport fraud in NZ. The last thing New Zealand needs is for the holder of a NZ passport to be convicted somewhere in the world for an assassination which goes wrong and takes out women and children! 
I propose that this article is either rewritten in a neutral tone or removed forthwith..Mombas 11:25, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that this section is making too much out of a minor incident, and have replaced it with a single sentence with a more neutral reference in an earlier section.-gadfium 20:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticism of the Clark administration

message: This statement is problematic, because it is  unreferenced and borders on POV and/or original research. It needs to be substantiated or removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TippTopp (talk • contribs) 13:39, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just removed this. It's probably more right than wrong, but needs a strong cite. Nick-D (talk) 11:17, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
