The current article also suffers from all the  brouhaha around it. It
has been edited by several new accounts, which are  most probably
operated by experienced users whose reaction to the situation  is part
encyclopedic, part tongue-in-cheek. Certainly not the right way  to
handle it.



Yes, the article is POV and Yitzhak is known for 1) being litigious, and 2)  
twisting facts.  Rather than simply protecting it, the article should be  
stubbed first--I doubt he would have a problem with the current English  version 
of the article at _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnon_Yitzhak_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnon_Yitzhak) .  For people who want some sense of who this guy 
is, see 
_http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/csrpl/RINVol6No2/Israel's%20Tele-rabbi.htm_ 
(http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/csrpl/RINVol6No2/Israel's%20Tele-rabbi.htm) .  Right now, the Hebrew version is essentially a two-line introduction, 
followed  by a list of all the controversial statements he made.
