antisemitism claim

The two sources here are both listed as unreliable or biased and they both distort what Alareer said. In his following tweet he calls the claim Israeli lies and fabrication. Note also that Israeli journalists have called the claim itself baseless. and unverified. Something that isn’t included in these propaganda pieces either. nableezy - 19:25, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, for sourcing on the claim being false, see Haaretz saying flat out that it is false. nableezy - 21:04, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

His unapologetic anti-Semitism is not up for debate, it was part of his identity and expressed over hundreds of tweets over many years and within his literature. Refaat Alareer called for the genocide of all Jews, he admits to attacking IDF members as a child, was excited about the atrocities of terror groups (IRGC/HAMAS/PIJ) inflicted upon innocent Israeli babies, children, women, elders, men, and many non-jewish, non-Israeli persons. His hate-speech is a part of his identity which all readers should understand when they learn about his "literature" through a myopic lens of hate.

PhD thesis

He finished his PhD in 2017. The thesis link should be added, instead of citing other sources.

Date of death

Both the BBC and Euro-Med Monitor say Israel killed him on Wednesday 6th, not the 7th as stated in the article. A quick glance at the sources already in the article shows the their reports are dated the 7th, but are actually quite vague about the exact time he was killed. I don't have time at the moment to investigate further, so I won't change it yet, but perhaps someone can look into it more closely? --NSH001 (talk) 21:11, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have also been trying to confirm the date. @NSH001 could you please quote the lines in these stories that say it was the 6th? I can’t find it in either of them. Innisfree987 (talk) 21:17, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry I see, they say Wednesday. I’ll look for more confirmation… Innisfree987 (talk) 21:21, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Refaat Alareer was also widely known as an unapologetic anti-Semite who is on record making horrendous statements about the Jewish Population. When writers espouse such grotesque anti-Semitism, their reporting on the Arab-Israeli conflict cannot be trusted. In fact, it should discount them from being published at all.
