POV check

I do not agree. This is a person, an attorney who has filed lawsuits against organizations identified by the United Nations, the European Union and the United States as terrorist groups. It is not her or anyone else's personal determination - it is a large body of international organizations that have sought to identify terror. Moreover, the article sets out who SHE IS, what cases SHE has filed and what their status is. You cannot simply merge an article about an individual into an article about an organization she heads. That is mindless. It is pretty obvious that ADDITIONAL sections will be written describing other cases she has filed prior to the creation of Shurat HaDin in 2003. She is a very famous lawyer in Israel and the US and the article will eventually have information concerning her carrer both BEFORE and AFTER the Shurat HaDin organization was formed. If you would be more patient you will see the full scope of the article about this person.

a person is not an organization

Why anyone would merge a person into the page of an organization is not clear. Not sure why this tag was added. it should be removed, no one has offered an opinion on why it was placed there in the first place.

What the hell?

I came here because I saw a banner ad inviting me to come to Israel and swoon over "Targeted Killing Units." Seriously, that was the ad's own wording -- picture of a guy with a machine gun, and everything. And Wikipedia is telling me this is a human rights organization? That it focuses on a wide range of individuals from around the world?

This Wikipedia article is far more circumspect even than the organization's own website, which openly describes its mission as opening a financial front in the "war on terror."

Who wrote this nonsense? EvanHarper (talk) 03:48, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've seen that ad too. Well, if you are looking for a holiday it's quite nice around Ubud this time of year. Targeted killings vs tropical Ubud, it's up to you obviously. :) I think the main problems are the lack of reliable secondary sources in the article, the way the article reads like a list of achievements (rather than being at the more usual 'about the org'/meta-level) and the way the language of the article reflects the POV of the organization itself rather than the WP:NPOV policy. Reliable secondary sources on this org don't seem to be that easy to find which doesn't help. It probably needs a complete rewrite if you are up for it.

Bias and Neutrality

There are so many unreferenced statements, and "to combat terrorism and promote civil rights through research, education and litigation.[1]" - I seriously disagree as the aim is to coerse and force charitable organisations helping Palestinians, and hiding crimes by Israeli Soldiers? I believe this has not been written by a neutral person.Asifkhanj (talk) 21:58, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Correct characterization of activity against World Vision

Shurat Hadin is not engaged in legal cases against World Vision in Australia. It has only made complaints to the government. It should therefore be characterised as a complaint, and not as a law suit.
