Zero0000 said "...well known for inventing news
stories."
Zero0000 makes this claim regularly.
He does not provide examples to back up the claim.
Every one and every news source makes errors. Some
(such as the New York Times) publish those corrections
in a corrections section that is usually well off the
front page. INN publishes its corrections front and
center. An example:
http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=69258 correcting
a earlier article:
http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=69253
Please note that Zero0000 does not dispute the content
of Yisacharov's (sp?) interview saying that Hamas
increased its suicide bombings in response to the
Pilot's Letter. He does not dispute the interview on
Israeli TV with Yisacharov. His only objection
appears to be that the citation refers to the INN
website.
I dont know how to create a citation that everyone can
verify (click a hyperlink) to a television interview
or radio broadcast. Sometimes TV or radio programs are
available on the web....mostly not.

Of course you are right. However, I did not block
him to win
an argument over content but to stop his vandalism.
The issue
was not over the content of the material but the
fact that
his only source for it was a pirate radio station
well known
for inventing news stories. He has been inserting
material
from this same source for months despite repeated
complaints
from many editors, and the time has passed for it to
be
regarded as vandalism. If the same material is
found in a
respectable source, there would be no problem.
Having said that, in my frustration it appears that
I went
further than the rules for dealing with vandals
permit.
As you say, I should have consulted another sysop.
I won't
do it again. In fact I might not do anything again
as I am
reconsidering my involvement in Wikipedia
altogether. This
is not a reaction to this particular event but a
more general
issue that I will write a separate note on.
