Any luck with the GA afterwards? I made a map [[Template:Location map Egypt Sinai]]. I though it might come in handy as a locator for some ancient site that you or Nableezy or somebody might be working on...[[User:Himalayan Explorer| <span style="border:2px solid #C5B358 ;padding:0px;"><font size="2"> <font style="color:white;background:#B00760;">'''''‡ Himalayan ‡'''''</font>]]</span><sup>[[User talk:Himalayan Explorer| <font size="-4"><font color="#C5B358">Ψ''Monastery''</font></font color> ]]</sup> 15:40, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Marhaba Tiamut, I've been "stalking" your wonderful contributions to Wikipedia on Palestine and the Palestinian people, not to mention your relentless articulations on the talk pages, since I first stepped foot here. It's been truly wonderful, and educational. Anyways, I wanted to ask your permission to use your hard coded user box supporting the [[Hizbulla|unmentionable military resistance]] movements. Would that be okay? [[User:Zozo2kx|Yazan]] ([[User talk:Zozo2kx|talk]]) 18:48, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

"I am a Palestinian. Hath not a Palestinian eyes? Hath not a Palestinian hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Jew is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that -- the villainy you teach me, I will execute; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction."
Tariq Ali's take on Shakespeare in the Khaleej Times

"It is not enough for the settler to delimit physically, that is to say with the help of the army and the police force, the place of the native. As if to show the totalitarian character of colonial exploitation the settler paints the native as a sort of quintessence of evil ... The native knows all this ... he knows that he is not an animal, and it is precisely at the moment he realizes his humanity that he begins to sharpen the weapons with which he will secure his victory.
From Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth
"A Jewish youth in the Arab countries expects from Zionism nothing other than colonialism and domination."
Ya'qūb Balbūl in the 1930s, as quoted in The Arab Jews
"- You can't compare them; a European Jew is something else.
- How come?
- Because 'Jew' just doesn't go with 'Arab', it just doesn't go. It doesn't even sound right.
- Depends on your ear.
- Look, I've got nothing against Arabs. I even have friends who are Arabs, but how can you say 'Arab Jew' when all the Arabs want is to destroy the Jews?
- And how can you say 'European Jew' when the Europeans have already destroyed the Jews?"
Sami Shalom Chetrit's "Who is a Jew and What Kind of Jew", as quoted in The Arab Jews

I created a new section on the talk page for the aforementioned article in the hopes that you'll engage in discussion. I just don't understand what facets of WP:RS the site fails to satisfy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Zionist_political_violence#palestinefacts.org

Hi, There was a tomb of Sheikh Jarrah just to the north of Jerusalem by 1860 at the latest. I have a map. But I can't find anything about this tomb or who Sheikh Jarrah was. There was some general of Omar, conqueror of Jerusalem, with that name, but no source connecting him to the tomb. Can you find anything? Zerotalk 14:26, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zero0000. It seems the Sheikh Jarrah quarter on Mount Scopus was named for the nearby tomb of Muslim saint, commonly known as Sheikh Jarrah. [1] The tomb itself is located inside the Mosque of Sheikh Jarrah. Named for a 12th century Muslim saint, it is located on Nablus Road near the American Colony hotel, about a 5-minute walk from the Sheikh Jarrah quarter. [2] According to Mariam Shahin, on pages 328-329 of her book Palestine: A Guide (of which I have a copy at home), the mosque was built in 1895, around the tomb (which is itself dated to 1201). Both are named for the physician of Saladin, known as Hussam al-Din al-Jarrahi (Jarrahi in Arabic means "the surgeon"). The nearby Sheikh Jarrah quarter was named for him, though Shahin notes it is not certin that the tomb contains his actual remains.
I will look for more informtion on Hussam al-Din l-Jarrahi too. But I though I'd let you know wht an initial look around has turned up. Cheers. Tiamuttalk 14:57, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Great. That article needs some history (but see RS/N). Zerotalk 15:06, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
