Edit by GHcool

About this edit, where does it say in the source that Palestinians are supporters of Saddam? GHcool, are you back to your old habit of misinterpreting sources? Imad marie (talk) 06:55, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, please assume good faith. Secondly, the article says, "[T]he Palestinians were sympathizers of the Iraqi tyrant." I'm taking the liberty of restoring the information while making the language more in line with the source. --GHcool (talk) 19:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hm... don't you think "But some critics say the State Department is sloughing off its problems onto American cities, especially since in this case the Palestinians were sympathizers of the Iraqi tyrant.", says more about the character of the refernce than of the people in question? Wikipedia cannot be a playing-field for racist slants, no demographic group of people should be stereotyped in the way of GHcool's edits. The wording in the JPost article (which I missed at first glance), is akin to the discourse of Der Stürmer. The actual situation of Palestinian politics in Iraq under Saddam was extremly complicated, and needless to say many Palestinians were not comfortable to live under Saddam's dictatorship. Notably, after the state-sponsored ALF (whose membership was only inflated by financial perks from the regime), the largest faction in Iraq was the DFLP. The DFLP retained its political solidarity with the Iraqi communists throughout the Saddam era. --Soman (talk) 22:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Soman, would you care to suggest a clearer way that we may write of the Palestinian Iraqi "sympathy" (as JPost puts it) for Saddam? I'm open to suggestions, but not open to WP:CENSOR violations. --GHcool (talk) 22:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GHcool, the source absolutely does not support what you wrote. You added it as a reason why Palestinian refugees have fled Iraq, this was a criticism of the US plan to resettle a number of these refugees in the US. The source does not support the sentence "many have now fled fearing persecution because they were Saddam Hussein sympathizers". I moved it as a criticism of the US plan. Also, AI and HRW have a decent amount of material on this subject so there is major room for expansion and improvement. Will get to working on going through those and incorporating them. nableezy - 01:24, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@GHcool. I am willing to AGF, but I came across many of your edits that insert anti-Palestinian/anti-Arab material that is not actually there in the references that you use, contrary to what you claim in your edit summaries (I am assuming deliberately). Which makes it extremely difficult to AGF. Imad marie (talk) 06:25, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Palestinians and Saddam

It would be very difficult to reliably document the alleged depth or spontaneity of support for Saddam for among Palestinians in Iraq, and in any case what's much more important for the purposes of this article are the objective and verifiable facts -- namely, that some of Saddam's policies were very favorable to Palestinians in Iraq, and certain policies created resentment among Iraqis (especially when Iraqis were forced to rent dwellings to Palestinians at rates far below fair market value). AnonMoos (talk) 22:06, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

that is pretty much how I worded it (resentment for the favor Hussein showed them) and that can be sourced pretty easily. nableezy - 22:17, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
