Hi Nableezy. I'm from Egypt too. Glad to see you :). --Darwish07 (talk) 02:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Peace indeed

Hey, thanks for the message. I appreciate it. Our dialogue (as unproductive as it was...) actually made me understand a little better what "the other side" thinks about the issue, so some good did come out of it. There's really no right or wrong here, just two sides to a story. And, indeed, the same should be reflected here in WP. I really hope both Palestinians and Israelis will all move past this period of aggression and into more productive times, so I could drive down to Gaza and have some good humus with the people. So take care, and indeed let's hope for some more peace. Rabend (talk) 07:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Infobox inclusions

I have forwarded a compromise solution at the talk page of the Gaza conflict about the inclusion of UN workers and women and children. See it and reply please.BobaFett85 (talk) 15:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Fading away

Nableezy, my time limit is too small these days cause of the exams. If this silly debate about the "Gaza Massacre" term continued, just take a look at my 3-point ("Reply to claim 1", "Reply to claim 2", ..) answer to the 3 proposed "problems". I believe those 3 points are sharp enough to cut off all the proposed arguments, including bolding. Thank you. --Darwish07 (talk) 17:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

So far, my 3-point reply has not been challenged, cause I think they are powerful enough. See you soon. --Darwish07 (talk) 17:56, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Gaza Massacre

The reason I'm not taking active part in this discussion (as well as in many others) is that I am having a hard time to crystalize an opinion. I must say that I am appalled by the "massacre" terminology, as I find it to be nothing short of simple case of racism, yet, I can't see how we can ignore the fact that most of the Arab world does call it that way. That said, I guess I would have no objection to include the term in the lead, but don't quote me on that just yet. Also , most Israeli media outlets call it "the Gaza War". If "massacare" goes in so should "war" (maybe, I don't know). Bottom line: I am still contemplating, but I tend to agree it should stay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Omrim (talk • contribs) 19:50, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Just to make it clear: I didn't take part in this discussion (I think).
