Massacre?

Is there any evidence that the incident is predominantly known in scholarly literature as "Balad al-Shaykh massacre"? Pecher ^Talk 09:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Massacre is the act of murdering a large number of people, typically at the same time or over a relatively short period of time, and haganah reports "about 91 killed including women and children" in one day --Rohan 07:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unilateral moving on page

This article was entitled Balad al-Shaykh massacre. No rationale has been provided for this move. Could this action please be explained? Thanks. Tiamut 19:51, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Besides the astute observation above that the definition of massacre fits the events as described currently in the article, Ilan Pappe uses the word "massacre" to describe the events in Balad al-Sheikh. Again, what is the rationale for this move? Tiamut —Preceding comment was added at 19:58, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. Ilan Pappe is not representative of the mainstream, and we should not be presenting disputed historical events from one extreme angle of the discourse. Tewfik^Talk 00:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
