ISBNs for the books would be an improvement. -- Malber (talk · contribs) 19:01, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] references

this article as it stands reads like a fan-written "biography" more than anything encyclopaedic. in particular, no references are given for a number of statements, and (before I edited them) the wording for a number of sections was decidedly POV.

could anyone more familiar with this person please help in improving the article? --Black Butterfly 11:56, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

additionally, I edited the (now-dead) original link to the "self hating jews" page to reference a page discussing the list itself; however I've yet to see any evidence the list has any kind of importance which warrants its inclusion in this article. --Black Butterfly 11:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bio section

This is not biographical information - the writer has copied and pasted the glowing comments from the back covers of the subject's books. I should think, in addition, that a balanced treatment might include his relationship with controversial figures, groups. and positions, such as Norman Finkelstein - he endorses Finkelstein's The Holocaust Industry - Palestinian Solidarity, a "One State" solution to the Palestinian question, and is said to be widely cited in Holocaust denial literature. See Steven Plaut for more info, or at least do a little research. As is this article appears to be a press release from the subject's PR office. Marcopolo27 13:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
