- Requesting second opinion Technically everything is fine, hook is referenced by an offline source. Article is 9 x expanded starting on Oct 18. This is a day late but I think this should be okay according to our leniency rules. I do have a concern about the main section of this article 1948, and aftermath: I am no expert in the various conflicts in this area but it seems to me that the article advances only one position, that of the Palestinians. After reading a few pages of the only reference for this section, the book by Meron Benvenisti, this impression also extends to the book. I would like to ask another DYK regular to advance an opinion whether this section is WP:NPOV or not. --Pgallert (talk) 15:49, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- Comment: I welcome a second opinion. There are two sources on the section "1948, and aftermath", both are Israeli: Benny Morris and Meron Benvenisti. The on-line source (Benvenisti) has clearly more information on the Palestinian Arab view, than Morris. I am not aware of any more information about the "kibbutznik" than what already is in the article: they clam that IDF told them to do what they did, while IDF denies this.
