ADL is a literal lobbying arm of the Israeli government. Please remove their quote.

[edit]

It is well documented by credible journalists that the ADL works in tandem and takes orders from Israeli intelligence agencies. They are foreign agents and have zero credibility on this issue. State actors should not be quoted in an article analyzing said state. 2603:8081:6440:FC:EDFA:D2E3:462C:5D44 (talk) 08:41, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Al Jazeera is cited here and that is Qatari state media and several journalists have been exposed for Iranian, Hamas and Hezbollah ties. If anything, AJ should not be here. AJ Arabic had an incident where one of its clerics called for the mass murder of Jews. The ADL does important research and education on antisemitism and the Shoah.

Why not remove them both if multiple people have issues with it? I don't think it's fair to say "we can leave in this biased quote because there are OTHER biased quotes in the article." garriefisher (talk) 22:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. Steven1991 (talk) 04:46, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We attribute these opinions and they're due. I don't think they're due in the lead though - the current lead is lots of "he said she said" which doesn't match the MoS. BobFromBrockley (talk) 15:52, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
AJ is a RS. ADL on the other hand shouldn't be used per WP:ADLPIA. - Ïvana (talk) 19:18, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Palestine versus Israel on This Topic

[edit]

Although this had been deleted, it does definitely bring up an interesting point on this article (as reported in a Brandeis University publication):

Comparison to cultures neighboring Israel in November 2013

In neighboring Palestine, a partnership had existed between Al Quds University and Brandeis University.

However, the partnership had been suspended for to events on November 5, 2013 due to demonstrators on the Al-Quds campus involved demonstrators with the following:

*Black military gear

*Carrying fake automatic weapons

*Marched while waving flags and raising the traditional Nazi salute.

The setting of actual Nazi symbolism in the neighboring country would provide a more complete analysis of the topic in the article.

Is a celebrity interview a reliable source of information for this article?

[edit]

Here is the celebrity interview in this article in question:

"Roger Waters of the rock band Pink Floyd has repeatedly compared Israel to Nazi Germany. In a 2013 interview with Counter Punch, he accused "the Jewish lobby" of being very powerful in the United States..." Starlighsky (talk) 12:52, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not and it should be removed. This whole article is ridiculous. Cinnarose (talk) 22:32, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Starlighsky (talk) 23:02, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

archaic

[edit]

for a holocaust inversion trope that is antisemitic is a perversion of English usage. The word is 'old'. 'Archaic' carries the meaning of anything from high antiquity to pre-history, a meaning not to be attached to antisemitism. Nishidani (talk) 20:14, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Holocaust inversion

[edit]

@Bobfrombrockley this was previously discussed at Talk:Comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany/Archive 1#Failed verification, the problem with putting that as an alt name or also called is that this article covers things that are not called that. For example the comparison to Lebensraum or comparing laws that are race-based or calling Israel a Herrenvolk democracy are not comparing aspects of the Holocaust. Could you self-revert the lead addition until we can discuss this further? nableezy - 10:37, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I don’t think I agree with you but happy to revert and look at it properly some other time. BobFromBrockley (talk) 23:20, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Bob, nableezy - 23:59, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve now read that discussion, which I hadn’t read when I edited the phrase into the lead. I agree with you, Nableezy, and Boynamedsue, when you argue that the term is not synonymous with the title of this article (by no means all instances of comparison are forms of inversion), and I understand that a formula like “sometimes knows as” might imply synonymity. However, bearing in mind that Holocaust inversion redirects here, and especially given EricSpokane has conclusively shown it is an important term in the scholarship (which has probably grown since that discussion), I think it does is indeed proper that it be in the lead and in fact that it be in bold in the lead. I would propose a compromise along the lines of a separate sentence later in the lead that is framed something like “The term H/i is sometimes used to describe —-“ and then give a precise definition of it that doesn’t inflate it. BobFromBrockley (talk) 06:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The redirect is fine as there are things this covers that *are* referred to as inversion, but the overall topic I disagree is. Bolding would be for an alt name, and if we agree this isn’t an alt name for this overall topic then it shouldn’t be bolded. nableezy - 06:55, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All that said I’m not opposed to a line that says something like when the comparisons made are about the Holocaust, they are sometimes referred to as Holocaust inversion, which critics of the comparison consider to be antisemitic. nableezy - 13:54, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, that sounds fair. I'll draft a suggestion when I can. BobFromBrockley (talk) 15:02, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
