We need some help from the arbitration committee.
Jayjg is now committing outright vandalism by inserting fake quotes into the article on [[Relationship between segments of Judaism]]. This is not a matter of how to phrase someone's point of view in accord with NPOV policy; the problem is that he is totally fabricating beliefs and quotes, and attempting to pass them off as real. He is totally out of control.
As an ultra-Orthodox Jew, Jayjg has been taught to distrust all other Jews, Orthodox and non-Orthodox. Although I feel sorry for him, I can at least try to understand why he feels that everyone is an enemy to him. But that does not justify faking facts and quotes.
For instance, Jayjg wrote "In the late 1980s non-Orthodox movements began attempting to hold non-traditional services as the Western Wall, in order to assert what they viewed as their denominational rights. "
The problem is that this is a lie. The indisputable historical facts, reproted in many Israeli newspapers, are that in the late 1980s ORTHODOX JEWISH women began holding prayer services in the women's section of the Kotel, the plaza adjoining the Western Wall of the Temple in Jerusalem. They had support from a number of prominent ORTHODOX rabbis. In response, they were slandered as people out to destroy the Jewish people, they received death threats from some ultra-Orthodox Jews, and they were beaten up - in public.
A little later Masorti Jews (Israel's Conservative Judaism) began holding prayer services near the Western Wall, however these services were NOT held next to it, but rather far behind it, in an adjoining public plaza.
Jayjg keeps removing all this information. His claims that they are all non-Orthodox is a lie, that they were all at the Kotel is a lie, and that their real purpose was not to pray, but rather were making a public demonstration for political purposes.
Also, Jayjg, is shockingly making up fake quotes about Conservative Judaism's founding documents. Jayjg repeatedly inserts fake quotes about how Conservative Judaism's founding documents stated that they fight against "Insane Orthodoxy and Stupid reform". The problem is that this is a bald-faced lie; none of the Conservative movement's documents say anything of this sort. This is a deliberate fraud, i.e. vandalism. I happen to own a vast library of the Conservative movement's publications, from 1900 to today, and nothing Jayjg writes is in there.
The same goes for Jayjg's libel about the leadership of Reform Judaism; the hatespeech that Jayjg attributes to them was simply never spoken, ever. It has been proven that instead of quotin from the leadership of reform Judaism, Jayjg is simply restating the views of one Rabbi Avi Shafran, an ultra-Orthodox opponent of Reform Judaism. Rabbi Shafran not only faked quotes from the Reform rabbi in question, but Rabbi Shafram is on public record as saying that all Reform and Conservative rabbis deserve to be killed. He is, to put it lightly, a lunatic.
When we have an article on George W. Bush., we do not look for his most insane opponent who publicly states that he wants to kill Bush (like Osama bin Ladin) and then use Osama's quotes and essay as an accurate description of George W. Bush's point of view! That would be insane...but that is precisely what Jayjg keeps doing.
(Quotes with references available, by the way. I do not make any statements like this without detailed references.)
We need to control Jayjg, stop the fraud, and get back to work. Unfortunately, something seems to be very wrong in the mediation committee. I have been trying to get medation with a number of other people on other articles for three weeks now, and none of the Wikipedia mediation volunteers has done anything at all. Why they refuse to do what they promised to do is beyond me.
