Martin (MyRedDice) and Viajero are still engaged in censorship of the article on "Palestinian views of the peace process". While Danny deleted the entire article at once, Martin and Viajero started a series of over a dozen edits, removing each quote one at a time. They think that no one will notice, perhaps?
The result is the same. They are deleting most of the _content_ of the article, resulting in the same censorship that a small but growing consensus here has condemned.
Their justifications on the Talk page contain no references, no facts and no sources. They just have added dozens of paragraphs of personal opinion, and are using their own personal interpretations as grounds to delete all this material. That is not acceptable.
If it is wrong when person X does it, it is wrong when anyone does it. Thus, I am reverting their mass deletions.
The article, of course, does need some work. For instance, it would be a good idea to include a wider array of Palestinian views. The views of the average Palestinian are not given by the Palestinian Authority alone. A great many Palestinians sympathise with, and are members of, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. They have their own views of the Peace Process with Israel, and these views should be reported. (Many members in these groups think that no such peace process should exist; they think Israel should be removed sooner rather than later.)
We can also add more views of Palestinians in the pro-peace camp. Ironically, none of the pro-Arab people here have done anything of the sort. They just delete material. The only person who has added any well-referenced quotes at all showing this was *me*. So much for the false claims that people keep hurling at me.
Also, we should add views of the Peace process by the European Union, Russia, the USA and Israel.
What we must NOT do, however, is delete material that pro-Arab apologists find uncomfortable. That is not scholarship; that is just anti-Israeli propaganda. The censorship is POV. The only way to keep NPOV is give a wide array of Palestinian views, with quotes and sources, and allow readers to make up their own mind.
On a related note, I also am disturbed that Martin is still making non-stop personal attacks on me on my own home page. As you all have seen, I was not discussing anything at all with him...he just came at me full throttle when this issue came up. He knows that such harassment is not acceptable. Stick to editing in an NPOV fashion, and stop trying to create a flame war. We have an encyclopedia to build.
