We should be more concerned with presenting facts than with opinions. People turn to an Encyclopedia to find out the truth about things.
Just
regurgitating "what everyone knows" is counter-productive when actual facts exist.
Believe it or not, NPOV requires the facts to be presented wherever possible, instead of opinions.
Okay, then the facts are: * Arabs want to eliminate Israel completely. * There are no "Palestinians" other than Palestinian Arabs * Jordan *is* the Palestinian state. * Propagandists like you think lying and murdering are justified.
Now that we're all agreed on that, RK and I will go ahead and ....
Huh? What's that you say? Those aren't the facts?
What are they, then? Just my opinion?
Golly, it sounds like you and I can't agree on what the facts are, even if we both agree that we should present the facts wherever possible.
So what can we do? I guess we have to agree to disagree, and just say that Source A thinks the facts are X, and Source B thinks the facts are Y.
Which is exactly where we were before.
On controversial topics, such as politics, all we can ever say with certainty is that X said Y about Z. Even then, sometimes X turns around and says Y2 about Z later on!
