Talk:PalestineFacts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Name change

The article says that PalestineFacts has merged/changed name to Middle East Facts. Is there any evidence for that? Both sites appear to be online. Pecher Talk 15:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I´m sorry that I´ve not come back to you before. (I´m having computer-problems, so I´m very on/off WP at the moment). Actually, the article says that "By 2004 JIA had merged/changed names to Middle East Facts" (where JIA =Jewish Internet Association).
Anyway, the short story is: some time ago; if you typed in jewishinternetassociation.org you were automatically redirected to Middle East Facts. Now, some new(???) people have taken over JIA, and the web-site is up again (no redirect any more). However, the JIA site now looks completely different from what it was (check the web-archive). Now it more seems like an ordinary web-hosting service. The whole story is really not very transparent, but I´ll try to dig up some more facts about this later.

[edit] Mistake?

I have removed the suggestion that in 2004 Palestine Facts merged with or changed its name to Middle East Facts, since both of these groups still maintain apparently separate and independent existence as of May 2008. The sentence I removed was:

"By 2004 JIA had merged/changed names to Middle East Facts[1], [2]"

I have also removed a reference to contact information, since this no longer appears on the site, and the reference is an empty link.

"Contact information for the website is given as "Mogen David Services" in California[3]"
