Talk:Israeli Gaza Strip barrier - Definition and Overview

Note: the language here is sharply POV, not much different from an Israeli press release (except that Israeli press releases are considerably more literate). I've fixed numerous grammatical and spelling errors, but someone needs to fix the content. Whoever wrote this article has no business doing so.

Whoever thinks that only people who do not identify with a particular point of view should write articles have no business working for the wiki either. Who do you think wrote the articles about Greenpeace, activism, Peace movement and others, their name is legion? Probably not the resident Neocons. If you want to express a different POV, please use the NPOV method for incorporating it into the article, but do not run around saying who should and should not write articles.

The list of attacks is only very marginally related to the subject. It can also be considered POV as it only cites an Israeli military source. I suggest that it be removed. If someone wants to write an artikle entitled "list of acts of violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" or similar, he can dig it up from this artikles history. B'Tselem's homepage might also be a good place to start as it has lots of statistics (and links to even more statistics) from both sides. PeR 18:12, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The list are related and relevant, since they handle the security issue of the Gaza Strip barrier - attacks on it (the crossings) and attack that came from Gaza (which the barrier should have blocked in theory). Since there is no other place where the attacks and the barrier are discussed, I return the lists. Also note the list only up to June 8 2003 is according to IDF data.

Feel free to create the "list of acts of violence" article I mentioned. Occupying half the space in this article does not seem justified to me. My main point, however, is that any listing of violent acts from only one side of a conflict is inflammatory. PeR
There is already a list called Violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 2004. The point here is the security performance of the Gaza Strip barrier. So far, there is no shortage of space, so I see no reason to delete it, since its provide information about the preventing functioning of the barrier, as well as some cases that peaceful civilian crossing (Erez, Karni) were used for terrorism.
