Following the [[2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami]], Japan received messages of condolence and offers of assistance from a range of international leaders. According to Japan's foreign ministry, 113 countries and 24 international organizations had offered assistance to Japan. <ref>{{cite news|title=FACTBOX-Aid and rescue offers for Japan quake|url=http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/factbox-aid-and-rescue-offers-for-japan-quake/|accessdate=17 March 2011|newspaper=Reuters|date=16 March 2011}}</ref> This article is a list of charitable and humanitarian responses to the disaster from governments and non-governmental organizations.

'''{{flag|France}}''' sent rescue teams consisting of 134 members, including sniffer dogs capable of detecting signs of life under the rubble.<ref>[http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fgw-japan-quake-relief-20110315,0,2084512.story International aid to Japan continues to ramp up]</ref>
Arniep raises an interesting point, and I must confess to being conflicted over it. On the one hand, I understand the spirit in which it was proposed, but on the other hand it seems to be counter to Wikipedia policies, especially NPOV. However, it doesn't seem to be a problem we will encounter much. If someone (e.g. Bobby Fischer) publicly denies their Jewishness or converts, this is likely to be noted in their wikipedia article. The issue then is whether to list them here; I would say yes, with the appropriate notes, as, according to at least one POV (traditional [[Halakha|Halakhic law]]), a convert is still Jewish. [[User:RMoloney|RMoloney]] [[User talk:RMoloney|(talk)]] 19:55, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
:You know, these "Fischers" are rare and it is usually the rare ones that cause long, annoying discussions on Wikipedia List of Jews Discussion Pages. So, let's just focus on the majority and we can frankly debate every person who is listed individually if the situation arises. Once in a while I add sources to certain section, and I usually remove anyone who doesn't at least have a Jewish grandparent (this grandparent thing is the system I like to use for ethnicity lists/categories). I think a better question may be in what way should we represent the source citations. I.e. the way I'm doing it now (see my recent additions) or some other way? [[User:Vulturell|Vulturell]] 08:22, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
::Yeah, that seems fine for online sources. Any offline sources can use the <nowiki> {{ref|}} {{note|}} </nowiki> system. Incidentally, for Carlile, the source I cited above comes from the Libertarian Alliance website, and carries their copyright. Is that a good enough source? I'm not familiar with the organisation, but they seem good enough to me. I certainly don't believe they're anti-Semites or Holocaust deniers.

Here's a happy trio of sources for [[User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters|Lulu]]. The first (already presented to him in [[Talk:List of Jewish jurists]]) is Myrella Cohen's 2002 obituary in [[the Times]] which described Cohen as "the second Jewish woman to [take silk] following Rose Heilbron". The second is Heilbron's inclusion in Elinor & Robert Slater's "''Great Jewish Women''" (ISBN 0824603702, p.327; on p.viii the authors note that they communicated with Heilbron during the writing of the book). The third is a mention in Kenneth O. Morgan's "''Britain Since 1945 : The People's Peace''" (ISBN 0192802259, p.107) which notes that "the admission of a (Jewish) woman lawyer, Rose Heilbron, as a QC in 1949 and later to the judicial bench caused widespread comment, if not astonishment." Happy new year, [[User:82.35.45.214|82.35.45.214]] 22:25, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
:Rose Heilbron being Jewish is not that hard to find out.

Mind you, the sources HAVE to, and I mean absolutely HAVE TO, come from outside of Wikipedia or its clones (i.e. I removed Leon Mestel - his Wiki entry says that his father is a rabbi, but I need a non-Wiki source because how do we know the entry is correct?) OR from an otherwise reliable source (i.e. tempting as they are to use, no weirdo anti-Semitic websites as sources). BTW, I did not source anyone under "Religious Leaders" because I refuse to have to provide a source that a Rabbi is Jewish. [[User:Vulturell|Vulturell]] 07:16, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

==Tom Baker==
Just posting this note here in case anyone brings up Baker again - it's almost certain that his father was not Jewish. A couple of quickie web bios, including his own official site's (not written by him) say that his father was Jewish, but Baker mentions no such thing in his autobiography. This website tracks his geneology back generations [http://thomas-stewart-baker.com/A.html] [http://thomas-stewart-baker.com/familyhistory.html] and there's not even a single vaguely Jewish surname on any of his paternal ancestors - some were even born in Scotland with the surname "Stewart". That site does say that his father was Jewish, but I believe they're repeating the same-old web errors. [[User:Vulturell|Vulturell]] 02:31, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
:I do have to admit that the site doesn't track his '''paternal grandfather''', John Baker's ancestry, back any, but it's clear that his '''paternal grandmother''' was completely non-Jewish (her ancestry is posted back for generations). I suppose it's '''possible''' that his paternal grandfather was Jewish, though I doubt it - he was the son of a "John Baker", who was a farmer - there were very few Jewish farmers in England in the 18th century when John Baker was around - most Jews lived in the big cities and were not named "Baker". Also, Baker's paternal uncle was named Thomas Victor Baker - which was his paternal grandfather's name. European Jews almost never name their children after living, and this kind of a "Jr" thing almost never happens. [[User:Vulturell|Vulturell]] 02:31, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

That is not to say that we should avoid mentioning their nationality or citizenship. I'll give an illustrative example: [[Jan Garbarek]] is a Norwegian jazz musician. Some time ago, someone tried to characterize him as Polish, presumably based on an assumption that since his last name is Polish (?), he should be characterized that way. But Gabarek is born in Norway, describes himself as Norwegian, and any Polish ancestry is not relevant to his work as a jazz musician. There must be thousands of articles on notable individuals that (rightly) do not mention their religion or the composition of their ancestry. As another example, I recently wrote [[Robert Levin (Norwegian pianist)]] and debated whether I should even mention that he was Jewish. I did, but only because his being Jewish figured prominently in his autobiography. But I did not categorize him. --[[User:Leifern|Leifern]] 14:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

::I will state it again for you, just so you're clear: for someone to be added to this list, you must find a reputable source that says they are Jewish. "X practises Judaism" will not suffice. Madonna can be said to "practise Judaism" but she is not Jewish, so far as I know. "X was born to devoutly Jewish parents and attends synagogue regularly" will not suffice. It is ''your opinion'' that this says they are Jewish. If they are Jewish and at the same time notable enough to be included on this list, it will not pose a problem to find a reputable source that says so.

:::Wonderful example with Madonna. She is, indeed, not Jewish. Not by ethnicity, and not by religion since she never converted. Yet, golly shucks o'blimy! She was named a "powerful Jewish American" by Forward or some paper. That's grounds for me to put her on a list, eh? - according to your policy. Common sense. I'm using it.

:Arr...."Madonna has been named one of the most powerful Jewish Americans despite protestations from her spokeswoman that "Madonna is not Jewish.""

This is such an obvious example of why absolutely everything you just said is utter nonesense and a reaaal stretch of Wikipedia policy. Madonna would not be on the list of Jews because she is not a formal member of the Jewish religion and is not of the Jewish ethnicity. This co-responds with Wikipedia's defintion of a [[Jew]].

::Vulturell, the contents have to be compatible with the title, for obvious reasons. We've been through this before, and we changed the title, then as soon as I stopped editing, you changed it back again, and so now it's problematic again. You may believe that someone with a Jewish father is a Jew, but many don't. For you to choose to prioritize that particular definition over any other is a violation of NPOV and NOR. There's no getting away from that, and there's no reason these lists should be treated differently from any other articles. Therefore, either you have to change the title to reflect the contents, or change the contents to reflect the title (and the latter would involve what GN is saying: find a reputable source for each of them saying they are Jews.)[[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] <sup><font color="Purple">[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</font></sup> 01:39, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:As much as I don't like to communicate with SlimVirgin... I didn't change the title back. I have no problem with the title you changed it to. I have no problem with you or someone or whoever changing it back to that title. The beauty of these lists is that we can put down notes that explain whatever to whoever. So if someone is only Jewish on their father's side, we write that. This is what we do on those Italian or whatever lists. If we didn't, it'd be POV or non-factual or whatever. Since we do write it, it isn't, since certain people view people with a Jewish father as partial members of the Jewish ethnicity. If we excluded these people alltogether, then we would be POV because we would be ignoring that ethnicity-based POV. If we explicate the "story" of every person on the list (if there is one), then we are serving everyone. But Grace Note isn't even talking about that. You see, he claims that we can't even put an 100% practicing Jew on the list, unless that person is referred to as "Jewish" specifically (i.e. "born to devout Jewish parents" or "x is of full Jewish ethnicity" will not do for him.) This is nothing but wordplay. That example with the Sunday demonstration is off, because demonstrations change. Religion changes. Ethnicity does not change. That's why if you are born to Irish parents, you are ethnically Irish. Same for any other ethnicity. If this is his idea of original research, wonderful, he should experiment with a few other ethnicity lists and see how the editors like it. And especially because I am certain that between 90 and 95% of the people on this list do indeed fit his criteria - i.e. referred to as "Jewish", while I am also certain that the majority of people on other ethnicity based lists do not) [[User:Vulturell|Vulturell]] 04:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Disraeli may not be described as a Jew because he was an anglican convert, but would it really be reasonable to exclude him from the list on those grounds? Perhaps a title which would suit you could be [[List of people in Jewish British history]]? [[User:Arniep|Arniep]] 02:22, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Arnie, please, think a bit about what you're saying and what I'm saying. "Disraeli may not be described as a Jew because..." We are not here to decide who can be described as what. That isn't what Wikipedia does. I'm tearing my hair out here. On a regular article, this would be so easy! The bottom line is we simply restate what sources say. If a reputable source says he was Jewish, then that is that. End of discussion. We don't need an inquest (that would be OR). We don't need to fight over it. You've sourced the thing you claim and we move on. The bottom line is "Disraeli may be described as a Jew because source X describes him as a Jew". Anyone can verify it by looking at source X. That is how Wikipedia works!
:::: Imagine this: there is a group that has demonstrated on three consecutive Sundays in Zanzibar. You have a source that says so. It demonstrated last Sunday. You write in the article about the group: "Foo group demonstrated on Sunday in Zanzibar". You are asked to source it. The source says "Foo group demonstrated on Sunday". Now when you are further challenged, you say "Foo group has ''always'' demonstrated in Zanzibar on Sundays so I can deduce that it demonstrated in Zanzibar this time". But no, you cannot! You may not deduce anything. You can say "Foo group demonstrated on Sunday" because that is what you have sourced. You may not create the thesis that it demonstrated in Zanzibar. ''That'' would be OR. If you could find a source that said "Foo group demonstrated last Sunday and it has always done its demos in Zanzibar so it must have demonstrated in Zanzibar", then you could say what you want to say.[[User:Grace Note|Grace Note]] 02:58, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I cannot find a source that says that Miliband is Jewish. Please present a source that states that he is. [[User:Grace Note|Grace Note]] 07:30, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I have removed Ed Miliband for the same reason. [[User:Grace Note|Grace Note]] 03:02, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:Simple enough. Remove two people with Italian fathers from [[List of Italian-American actors]] and two with Irish fathers from [[List of Irish-Americans]]. Otherwise it's a double standard, especially since this list is sourced and those are not.

*And for the record, if we used your method, we would probably have to remove 80% of the [[List of Irish-Americans]], since almost no Americans are described as "Irish" or "Irish-Americans" in most sources. They are usually described as "of Irish descent" or "born to Irish parents". We would pretty much also have to delete [[:Category:English Americans]], since in all my time doing this I have never, ever, seen any American described as either "English American" or "English" (except for the rarity that were born in England).

*Anyway, if you want to be pursuing this unholy perversion of the Original Research policy - go for it! But you are not going to be pursuing it exclusively here, especially since this is one the few sourced lists. Starts with the two lists (Irish Americans and Italian-American actors). Or do those and this one simulataneously. But no other way will do. [[User:Vulturell|Vulturell]] 03:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
*Oh, and btw. If you follow through with my request but your removals from the Irish and Italian lists are reverted by the editors there (I won't revert myself)< then I will revert your edits here. We are going to this, oh believe me we are going to do this equally to every page. This page is NOT getting singled out for this kind of treatment.

==Miliband's mother==
Back to actual discussion, I guess. The Milibands' mother is mentioned as being one Marion Kozak - commonly a Jewish name, here [http://www.camdennewjournal.co.uk/2004%20archive/230904/n230904_1.htm]. On the new citation for Ed, it just mentions him as being "a member of the Jewish intelligentia". It seems based on these two sources - i.e. the Times Out reference to him being Jewish without further explication and his mothers' name - that his mother is Jewish, too. Not sure if I sure remove the "Jewish father" tag or wait on it. [[User:Vulturell|Vulturell]] 05:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

You are absolutely not going to add people to this list based on what you consider to be "Jewish" names. Thank you for providing the source for Ed Miliband (but if you write "Jewish father", I will remove that). I won't remove him again. You have not provided a source for David Miliband. Please try not to break the three-revert rule again. [[User:Grace Note|Grace Note]] 05:55, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:I didn't say I was going on last names and I don't. I'm saying that, with the Ed Miliband source not specifying that his mother wasn't Jewish, and added with her last name, it was likely that she was. I cannot grasp the logic where if you agree that one person is Jewish, you have doubts about their biological brother being Jewish as well. I'm sorry, but we don't live in a vacum and we can look up the article for [[Jew]] and see that it's an ethnicity, and we can use our brains and figure out that if a person is a member of one ethnic group, then their natural-born brother is a member of that ethnic group as well. You have no grounds for removing David Miliband from this page. He is listed and cited in precisely the words that the citation uses. [[User:Vulturell|Vulturell]] 06:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

==Trawling for Jews==

You know Vulturell, as I read your comments again and again I cannot help but wonder about your ''motives'' for classifying so many people as Jews (even if they themselves would not want to be classed as such.) Have you ever contributed in some detail to articles that relate to the subject-matter of [[Jew]]s and [[Judaism]] (see the choices available in [[:Category:Jews and Judaism]]) besides displaying this [[obsession]] with naming and labeling all the Jews on planet Earth you keep [[trawling]] for? [[User:IZAK|IZAK]] 12:42, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:Vulturell, here is my concern with these lists. Imagine, for example, a journalist who has a Jewish relative. The journalist is not himself Jewish, either by self-identification or according to any of the denominations. You find out the journalist is related to the Jewish person, and you have a source confirming that the relative is Jewish, so you put two and two together, and you publish the journalist's name on one of the lists of Jews that you edit. He doesn't know you have done this. He is then sent on assignment to Pakistan to meet one of the newspaper's sources regarding a political story. Neither he nor his editor realize there is cause for additional concern, because they don't know you have named him as a Jew. Before the meeting, the source looks up the journalist's name on Google. He finds your edit. The journalist goes to the meeting and is kidnapped and killed.

:When the journalist's family contacts Wikipedia to ask why we did this, what will we say? What would your answer be about your reasoning and motivation for having added his name? [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] <sup><font color="Purple">[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</font></sup> 16:15, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:That is why I suggested we only include deceased people or people who are well known as Jewish. I personally don't agree with listing people who just have a Jewish grandparent, imo all those should be removed for starters. [[User:Arniep|Arniep]] 16:59, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
