Talk:Green Party (Israel)

Green parties in israel

This article sites the "Green Movement" as part of the Green parties alliance. However, in the info box, only the "The Greens (Israel)" are mentioned.

• What is the connection between the "Green Movement" and "The Greens"? Are they both same party or not? If they are, then this article should be merged with the Greens.
• Are both members of the Green alliance?

• No connection. They are competitors.
• Neither. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 10:17, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Neutrality

I can't quite point my finger on it, but reading this whole article something about it strikes me as terribly unbalanced. Any opinions on this? KimiSan (talk) 21:17, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Here are a few examples: "A new green party - with roots, authenticity, and a broad perspective - must become an integral part of Israel's political map.", even though this is preceded with "who share awareness that..". Lines like "it is natural for Malchior to head the “Green Movement-Meimad’s Knesset list" or even "a shared social/environmental agenda is not only possible but preferable" seem quite out of place. The whole agenda section seems to be very much infected with this, but I can see how that is tolerable since it is pretty much quoting the party's agenda. KimiSan (talk) 22:05, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Here's a passage that struck me as flagrant non-neutral POV: "A single political faction, with power sharing between secular and religious individuals who embrace a shared social/environmental agenda is not only possible but preferable -- offering an edifying ray of hope in a political arena which thrives on partisanship, polarization and intolerance." --bntrpy (talk) 18:09, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
