I don't know about adding "a section", but we should add at least one sentence, maybe two. WP:BEBOLD – Muboshgu (talk) 19:32, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Nableezy: I was wondering if it's gonna take seconds or minutes for the obvious to happen. I know, Wiki rules.
If somebody violated you, and a few decades later somebody wrote your genitals should be torn off, would you see a connection? No? Sleep well. If you can.
PS: I won't put it back, don't worry, nor will I dignify any reply by making this into a discussion. Arminden (talk) 23:12, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
this isn’t the article Ayaan Hirsi Ali, sources for this article need to discuss the subject of this article. nableezy - 23:25, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Opinion pieces by non-experts for controversial claims[edit]
A, that is a complete distortion of what Sarsour said, she was not talking about Jews, what she said is "I will remind all of you good people that are here that there are provocateurs all across the city. And what they’re waiting for you to do is to waste your energy ripping down their little posters so they can record you and try to get you fired." And that is according to the single semi-reliable that at all covers this. But using opinion pieces by non-experts to make controversial claims about a living person is not WP:BLP compliant, and I will now say that I think this material as inserted here is a BLP violation, and I will draw the attention of anybody who wants to reinsert it to WP:BLPRESTOREnableezy - 23:40, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. The first sign I have that JNS is not a reliable source is that they refer to a "pro-Hamas" rally at Grand Central Station. I know of no such "pro-Hamas" rallies, but there have been rallies supporting the Palestinian people. The bias in that source challenges their reliability. Then Linda Sarsour launched into a deranged Jew-hating Goebbelsian rant. Gimme a break. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
