Talk:Shuafat - Knowledge

2707:. Several things were wrong. He was wikistalking. Secondly he warned me against edit-warring, without saying anything on the pages of the two anonymous I/P editors who were certainly edit-warring in a tagteam effort to restore a non-consensual and false statement that did not reflect the source. Third, I’d explained twice the reasons why the anonymous tagteam revert was false, the two editors did not reply but persisted. I therefore branded their combined effort ‘ideological vandalism’. Fourthly, I'd spoken of vandalism thrice not four times. Fifth, he tried to make this out to be a content dispute by (a) ignoring that seven editors had never challenged AK’s edit for three months (b) ignoring that the source quoted for the controversial sentence supports AK’s edit, and does not support the tagteam anonymous IPs’ edit, Since he aimed his dart only at me, and had obviously ignored an examination of the content of Kershner’s note, this was further evidence that he had me in his sights, and not the need to write to that page to NPOV standards. 3326:

impurity. Archaeologists believe stone basins discovered at the site were used to hold ashes from the destroyed Temple." because when it comes to archaeology using quotes from newspaper articles as references is inappropriate. One needs to use articles published in peer-reviewed journals or reputable published books; especially when the subject at hand is so contentious such as this one. Moreover, The two newspaper articles sited here even contradict one another. One says the dig director is Debbi Sklar-Parnes (Parnes is misspelled as Parnas in the newspaper article) and "While the settlement is believed to be Jewish, she added that she could not be certain since no remains of ritual baths were discovered." The other newspaper article says the dig director is Rachel Bar-Nathan and that "Several of the excavated private dwellings contained a mikvah, or Jewish ritual bath." Also, the text I inserted was inserted only after I made sure that the two censuses sited (the 1596 census and the 1931 census) do indeed state what I wrote.

captured the Western part of Jerusalem in 1948, not 1967. Second, it presents an opinion by a single journalist as fact. Third, it quite drasticly changes the meaning of what that journalist claims, through the ommission of a single word. The source claims the King planned to rennovate the Jewish Quarter as an ARAB quarter, but that key word was ommitted. Fourth, it is written in a POV way, which implies that Israel's conquest in 1967 is at fault for the quarter not being renovated, while not mentioning that the reason it needed renovation was that it was deliberately destroyed by the Jordanians themselves, and glossing over the fact that the King had nearly 20 years to renovate, if that was really his plan, before the Israeli conquest. But most importantly, I'm removing this as it has absolutely no relation to Shuafat.

might otherwise be a moral sentiment, because that is precisely what makes religions or reformist ideologies fail in their mission to transform moral instincts into ethical values. In other words, you're being extremely dumb. You haven't a leg to stand on against a few posters on the other side (and I am not speaking specifically of this page) who may do this, but are far more subtle than you appear to be in this regard. If you want to know about, say, house demolitions or building restrictions in Shuafat, to cite one of a million things to know and help these pages, you punch into the search machine 'Shuafat/Palestinian villages/etc.+demolitions/building restrictions'. If you want to be really serious, then you go to your local library, and get by inter-library loan, a book like Ami S.Cheshin, Bill Hutman, Avi Melamed,

3182:. The IDF bulldozes your house, settlers rip out your olive trees? You get up the next day, roll up your sleeves, and restart planting and building. I know of some people who have built their houses several times, on their own land, because the first one was knocked down as a potential ‘sniper’s hideout’ or security risk near a squatters' settlement on expropriated land. They couldn’t get a permit to rebuilt, but just rebuilt, what the heck. The government/military authorities, come back with a court order, the bulldozers come in, and wreck their work. They don’t give up. It’s their land. They don’t, mostly, do what an American would do, get a rifle and shoot the next trespasser. They pull themselves together, and grub up some semblance of shelter from the ruins, and a survival pittance from new olive trees. 4642:'(correct) technical term'. It is the way that the Jewish traditional narrative of this history describes this time frame, but it is also frequent in the broader Israeli archaeological literature. This is perfectly acceptable as a national narrative and also in the specialist literature. The delicacy of these distinctions for an encyclopedia which, being global, is sensitive to POV nuance, is clear. Unfortunately, as several books document, presence implies claims to the land, and while it is a self-evident fact that a large part of the archaeology proves the obvious, the profound Judaic roots in this region, the 'contemporary' record thrums with a premise: 'Jewish roots' in an Arab area disinvalidate contemporary title 2871:, what Pr remarks is known by everyone in Israeli. Even blind Freddy and his dog know that. Yet I suspect what you are suggesting is that there is some doubt about the systematic denial of building permits to Palestinians, in the Jerusalem area and throughgout the West Bank. There are so many reliable sources that say this, Israeli, Western, UN, that it is not original research, it is a truism. Indeed it hardly needs a source. It is a fact of life there. The only leg to stand on here, if you don't want the truism here, is to note that 'we have no specific source that refers to this nigh universal Israeli restriction on easing difficulties for obtaining building permits for Palestinians 3176:

Alas!' etc.,, for several years, as you glance up at the broken sills, the collapsed roof, the wrecked wall or shattered glass, as the case may be? No. (Well some people did this for thousands of years over the Western Wall, but they eventually got to wrest it back). What you do is get up off your arse, grab a brick, then another, then another, stack'em, clear the rubble. Use shovel and trowel to clear it, foot by foot, and rebuild. If you want to adopt the Palestinian cause, take a note out of their book. Look up

think there's any doubt that Shuafat is part of what the MEND group describes as "front line schools", and that students in such schools may suffer from the conditions described. But the study (to the extent there even was such a study) is not about Shuafat, but about children in front line schools. The article does not describe "the conditions of life in the camp and town" - it describes children with conflict-induced stress, and mentions a school in Shuafat as one example, among many. It is inappropriate to highlight this non-notable anecdote about Shuafat. Are we going to include a similar line in the article about

parties? How about changing it to "is a village" instead of "is an Arab village" or "is a Palestinian village", and then later in the article more detail can be given about the various positions, with appropriate weight. Possibly something like "is a village inhabited by Palestinians" or "is a village inhabited predominantly by Arabs", if those are facts that can be supported by reliable sources, might be the sorts of things we could say without contradicting any of the signifiant POVs in this situation. Surely all parties (e.g. Israel) would agree that the statement "is a village" is accurate.

5096:"An urban legend has it that, upon the de facto annexation of East Jerusalem in 1967, the State of Israel offered the city's Palestinian residents as a group Israeli citizenship and they rejected it. Though it's an interesting legend, there isn't a shred of truth to it. The state applied Israeli law, judicial powers and governance to East Jerusalem less than two weeks after it was conquered. And to the Palestinians who lived there, it conferred the status of permanent residency, which is still in effect today, more than 45 years after the annexation of East Jerusalem." 5837: 2158:, the man who pushed throughout his career for the immiseration of 3 million Palestinians in the Occupied Territories to a point where despair would facilitate ‘transfer’ out of the West Bank and Gaza to ‘Arab’ countries. It leaves the reader puzzling why in studying Shuafat, he should be directed to parliamentary remarks commemorating the assassination of this member of the Knesset? ( POV games, stacking the text with redirects to ‘Palestinian terrorism’ when all one wants to know is how Palestinian refugees ended up in Shuafat?). 2443:

some independence here, and I place the following for your reconsideration regarding the anonymous I/P tagteam edit in the lead I properly contested, but which none of you do. If you want the story behind why the edit I support is by far the more correct one, given the source in Kershner, see my page, slightly polemical, but I am rather disappointed that in so simple an edit, reasonable men cannot forego the temptation to do nothing, and allow an undefended travesty of a source to prevail over a precise construal of that source.

Shuafat page). The Palestinian Authority may one day take control of it, but in the meantime, UNWRA is supposedly in charge, and apparently not doing a very good job. The article states that Shuafat is a Palestinian Arab town annexed to Jerusalem, but the refugee camp doesn't fit that description. So maybe the article should have a separate section devoted to the camp and the goings on there which explains this. Here is the perfect opportunity to develop an article that clarifies a situation which is muddled in people's minds.--

3471:" The source says "had in mind", much weaker than "intended", but anyway Benvenisti tells this story in more detail. In 1963 a Jordanian newspaper mentioned a suggestion by the municipality planning advisor to develop the Jewish Quarter. The Israeli government complained that it would be a violation of the Armistice agreement, then the Jordanian government denied that the newspaper report was correct. It could go in, but I thought it was not clearly on the subject of the article. 4890:- and which contain repetitions of the same information. Ancient locations rarely fit "neatly" into modern ones unless wholly encompassed. In this case we have a grave site adjacent to the old settlement, which is clearly connected. The article itself also links the ridge to Shuafat elsewhere. I will also note that your argument would also apply (and with more merit) to all mentions of Shuafat refugee camp, which is clearly distinct and separate from the Shuafat neighborhood. 5101:

book "Jerusalem: The Torn City" (different from his later book "City of Stone"). From 1967 to 1971, Benvenisti was Jerusalem Municipality Administrator of the Old City and East Jerusalem. I read it once looking hard for the alleged offer of citizenship and I'm pretty sure it is not there. What is true now (starting I'm not sure when) is that people with Jerusalem permanent residence can apply for Israeli citizenship and some fraction of them are successful.

1269:

both, and then if the distinction is indeed made clearly by a source (which to date, has not been the case) we can farm out the material on the refugee camp at that point. Right now, what's being proposed is throwing out any information just on the refugee camp without any clear understanding of where it is or whether the other sources here are discussing the camp or the town (since both are referred to simply as Shuafat by many of the sources cited).

The Palestinians have been robbed, expropriated, driven off their lands, caged up in what David Shulman calls the 'infernal machine' of bureaucratic obstructionism and incremental existential hemming under military occupation, subject to massacres 5675:

Hadashot Archiologyot yesterday - I was not able to find a report on this find. I was able to find many other rescue digs in Shuafat, including digs for road-21 - it seems to me, at least for Shuafat, that the dig reports get published 3-4 years after the dig. The press release was probably based on preliminary findings of the dig (which were interesting) - but that probably doesn't rush too much the publication of an organized report.

Norman Finkelstein, or Chomsky didn't get anywhere by ranting moral positions: they went to texts, newspapers and checked, detail by detail, reportage on specific incidents, acts of state, etc., and then showed how deeply unreliable the mainstream coverage was.

Having to fight futile and badly motivated edits like this is one reason why serious people give up work on I/P articles in wiki. The effect of your edit was to elide important information, wreck the sourcing of the text, and give a strong Israeli POV tilt to the section. 955: 84: 877: 859: 195: 174: 2900:

character. Yet no building permit had been granted for any of these 1,300 units. It was policy. That is why Palestinians built upwards. They can't get permits, even for building on their own land. So the anonymous I/P who has just reversed your edit is malicious, but you are culpable, because you simply don't look for the information in the right place. It's there, look for it, or just move on.

1859:. In the aftermath of the Six Day war, the West Bank and East Jerusalem were occupied by Israel. The town of Shuafat and the refugee camp were subsequently annexed by Israel into the municipal area of Jerusalem. Residents of Shuafat were offered Israeli citizenship, but most refused it, considering themselves to be illegally occupied, though many accepted permanent residency status instead. 205: 5790: 1381:"At MEND we have worked with several front line schools in the Ramallah and Bethlehem areas, e.g.in the Kalandia, Amari and Aida refugee camps and in Tekoa and Beit Jala, and have found very high levels of stress and fear.

You rejected the close paraphrase, elided her point and transformed a scholarly consensus into 'some think this dubious, or some think that it is to be rejected'.

2736:, point 13: "the link should be directly related to the subject of the article.".

As such, it is clearly not "directly related to the subject of the article". Please don't add it again. 1453:

This is really close to Jerusalem (which itself "moved" a bit between incarnations) - saying this was in the area should be OK (Shuafat itself appeared much later than Jerusalem - even if one takes the biblical association to a small village) - as we have sources doing so.

The other is the use of the media as a source, even when quoting archaeologists. This is a bit trickier at times.

Something that needs remembering is that Israel was playing the double game of setting in concrete its capture of East Jerusalem while declaring to the UN and the rest of the world that it was not annexing EJ.

I think we have a fair consensus that the term we have can easily be changed for a chronological indicator. Let's narrow this down then.

Some sources speak of "squatters" in Muaska camp. That is actually correct but one should get it straight: in addition to the refugees from multiple places who lived there, there were lots of other people living there too (Plascov says 2/3 in one time period and 1/2 in another). This was one reason

Then it's implied that the demolition was administrative, the families had failed to follow the necessary procedure.

I agree there's a lot more really good work to be done, including separation of the Shuafat refugee camp.

It is not merely "highly appropriate" but "absolutely necessary" to provide a link to an explanation, from an unimpeachable source, of why it is that Palestinian homes (in Shuafat, as elsewhere) are being demolished because "they were built without permits".

Nope. Please answer the question. That the article mentions Ramat Shlomo is adjacent to Shuafat is no warrant for attributing to Shuafat archaeological finds in the former.
