suggest a rename.

Article need a rename. Mainly known as "Hebron Shooting Incident" in Israeli media.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 05:49, 19 April 2016 (UTC) Bolter21 (talk to me) 05:49, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Why not "extrajudicial killing of Abdel Fattah al-Sharif"? Or more accurately, the "murder of Abdel Fattah al-Sharif"?
My argument is as follows: shooting wounded, incapacitated people in the head is basically extra-judicial murder. The same would be true for executing Palestinians they've arrested.
Considering that every killing of Israeli "settlers" is labeled as "murder", I think it's only fair to make use of "murder" as a descriptive in this case. 70.27.162.84 (talk) 12:12, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Murder and extrajudicial killing in the context of this incident is very subjective. There is a large dispute about wether it was a murder or not. This is not about "fair" or not, the language of "murder" and "extra judicial killing" should never be used by Wikipedia as a fact unless quoted or have enough support from sources. The name of the article should be relfected in sources.
There is a large number of sources using variants of the title I offered:
"Hebron Shooting" - [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
"Hebron Shooting incident" - [12] [13] [14]
Because there were probably a dozens of shooting incidents in Hebron, I would suggest "Hebron shooting controversy"--Bolter21 (talk to me) 16:46, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Controversial, hell. It was indisputably an extra-judicial killing and the murder of an unarmed, incapacitated person by some smelly little Kahanist maggot. 70.27.162.84 (talk) 23:11, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your logic is full of errors, but I am not going to explain them to you. Insteed I"ll redirect you to the Five pillars of Wikipedia and especially the second piller. Please read it and if you can't accept it, go and edit other topics that don't involve your own point of view.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 23:29, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
God, are you smug. My "logic" is rooted around what actually happened. What happened was a wounded Palestinian who was effectively "neutralized" after his understandable attempt to stab soldiers belonging to a hostile, abusive military occupation was extra-judicially executed by a so-called "medic" who-- surprise, surprise-- turns out to be an Arab-hating Kahanist.
My point of view is that every Jew in the Palestinian West Bank (barring peace activists and those who actually help the Palestinians) is a legitimate target for the Palestinian resistance. Israelis can get out, or be shot, stabbed, or run over by cars. However, you don't see me advocating my point of view to be the official line on Wikipedia articles. 70.27.162.84 (talk) 00:13, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
