To the best of my knowledge Noam Federman has been convicted in several instances. I added an accuracy dispute warning until things are sorted out. gidonb 15:20, 29 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

I remove the tag, since I already dealt with the issue in the article. gidonb 21:42, 7 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Background? edit

The article starts with "After his release ... " Surely there should be some background - release from where? Why was he incarcerated? Knowing nothing of this individual or the relevant Israeli politics I feel that I'm starting the story half-way through. TrulyBlue 09:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

He was not charged with a crime he was held in administrative detention, this is common Israeli practice against Nationalists. The reason he was arrested is he wrote a guidebook for people to get through arrests without being broken by the Israeli Secret Police.

Perhaps someone could write that in the article? This is significant information that needs to be part of the wiki, otherwise the article has no context at all. TrulyBlue 13:03, 7 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Broken Citations edit

Almost all of the citations on this article are broken or in Hebrew. Because of this, the article is almost entirely uncited. I will attempt to update the citations where I can, but I will need to remove that material which I cannot find replacement citation for. Any assistance is appreciated.

Federman's brother edit

In this edit,

On 24 May 2002, his brother, Eli Federman, while on duty as a security guard outside the Studio49 Tel Aviv nightclub, shot and killed a suicide car bomber just seconds before he could drive his vehicle into the crowded club, preventing many deaths.[1]Anchorman David Witztum, reporting the incident, contrasted Eli's behavior to that of his radical brother. Eli described his actions thus:

I fired one bullet at him. He fell out of the car and blew up. After the blast, I shot him twice in the head, and then moved closer and emptied the rest of the clip into his head.'[2]

  2. ^ Nitzan Ben-Shaul, A Violent World: TV News Images of Middle Eastern Terror and War, Rowman & Littlefield, 2007 p.112.

I did not originate the material about Federman's brother, Eli. That has been in the article for 7 years at least. No one objected to it until I fleshed it out and sourced it. I simply (a) provided a book source (b) that linked the incident re Eli to his brother. This is perfectly legitimate. No editor found that exceptional. Settleman, you removed it because I had tweaked in information, and not because the information itself was irrelevant. By the way, tracking me here is another example of your WP:HOUNDING. I'm adding the cases up.Nishidani (talk) 20:55, 3 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

You have added Federman to Tel Rumeida so I saw it! But also, if I wanted to annoy you (which is hounding) I would do much more. If I see such edits I believe it is my responsibility to remove them. You want to smear Israel, open a blog (or rather add comments on Silverstein's). Now, for NPA reasons I will stop.
If you haven't touched this Eli nonsense, fine. I can't axpect you to remove it. But since you have edited the text, you can't just hide behinds the fact someone added it before. This is like using human-shields. Settleman (talk) 21:23, 3 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
'You want to smear Israel'. Strike that out immediately or it will go on the report log of your accusations and behavior I am compiling.Nishidani (talk) 21:52, 3 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
Anything about why you have expanded on Federman's brother? or will I get the silence treatment again? Settleman (talk) 08:42, 6 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
