replies: text: I'm not arguing, I am merely pointing out that there would be enough material to create a credible factual "mirror image" article to the one about "Israeli violence against Palestinian chidren", yet those editors concerned with Israel issues are not hell-bent on creating POV volatile articles if their only purpose is countering the POV emotionalism driving some anti-Israel editors to any length when it comes to dragging Israel's (self-defense) actions through the "Wiki-mud". What is the point of playing tit-for-tat via encyclopedia articles? IZAK 19:16, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: "Israel's (self-defense) actions". (Hahaha what a hypocrite!). Gunning down children is terrorism, not "self-defense", even when those children are not Jews. --Alberuni 20:50, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: Yes, of course, the IDF had to protect the Jews of Israel from 16-year-old Asma al-Mughayr and her 13-year-old brother Ahmad who were hanging laundry on the roof of her house in the refugee camp when IDF snipers shot them in the head. Your rationalizations for Israeli atrocities are repugnant but I'm sure you are quite used to being repugnant. --Alberuni 05:35, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: are not hell-bent on creating POV volatile articles—perhaps because such articles already exist and have existed for some time? It's easy to vilify the tats when one has already gotten in the (pardon my parallelism) tits. —No-One Jones (m) 03:35, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: This is quickly degenerating into yet another flame war so I'm going to bow out after a quick explanation (and I'm not going to argue the rightness or wrongness of either side): You said nobody is creating POV articles about Palestinian attacks on Israelis, and I meant to point out that many such articles already exist, so complaints about the existence of this one seemed inconsistent. That's all. Me, I think all these minutely detailed casualty lists ought to be deleted or reworked into a single general overview, but if we're going to keep one set, it's rank hypocrisy to get rid of the other. —No-One Jones (m) 08:12, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: Priceless! IZAK is always good at providing material for the Zionist Revisionism page. Surely, we all understand that Israelis must resort to extreme measures to defend itself against Palestinian children, a diabolical enemy that threatens its very existence. Protecting the Jewish state requires extreme measures because the Palestinians pose a demographic threat to the Jewish character of the state, much like the Jews threatened the purity of the Aryan nation. --Alberuni 05:35, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Palestinian violence against ISRAELI children

message: I hate to interupt this, but so far it seems unlikely that the VfD will achieve consensus to delete (or anything for that matter). However, there's strong support to move and/or merge it. Would you all, being obviously interested parties, be willing to address these claims in an existing article? Suggestions? I think the place lots of people are pointing (Violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) is an illogical move. Such material should be explained in higher-level coverage, not monthly death tolls. Whether this is fictitious or not, the claims are obviously real, and should be covered in a fair way. Cool Hand Luke 06:35, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Cool Hand, have you done  a real tally yet? According to what you are saying then, it seems that for the sake of balance, there should also be a Palestinian violence against Israeli children article, corrrect? IZAK 08:08, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: OK. I just listed the tally. Half of 26 votes are currently for merge, move, or keep, so there will likely be no consensus and the article will survive. A strong plurality (at least 8) exists to merge this content (not keep it as a seperatly in any form). This is stronger than the plurality that wants to simply redirect it. I think merging is the best option other option anyway; we would't need to create a reciprical article for the Israeli POV, we could include both in the same article (theoretically). The hardest question, I think, is where to put these claims. Cool Hand Luke 08:47, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: What to do with this article after VfD

message: According to VfD votes so far, this page should be merged. Ideally, we'd like an article to cover all types of violence against civilians in an effort to keep the page NPOV and watched by editors on both sides. I initially didn't like the suggestion for Violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because it didn't have any high-level information, but it has been expanded a bit by User:FT2 over the last day or so, perhaps to accommodate this material. I'd just like to establish that there's rough consensus for merging there before we do it. Thoughts? Cool Hand Luke 08:04, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Please recount the tally. My vote was not counted. Delete and sorry if it was unclear from the beginning. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 00:52, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: Oh. You're right. I'm sorry. However, this still does not make a consensus, or even 66%. It does show how broad opinion doesn't support the article in current form. Cool Hand Luke 01:04, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
