Please be consistent with language, the irgun was not “controversial” or simply “para-militart” it was classified at the time as a terrorist organization. Jews or Israelis are not magical beings, they are human like all of us. ~2026-20956-81 (talk) 13:54, 5 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Reference 98 unrelated

Latest comment: 6 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

under "Critisim" - "Leaders within the mainstream Jewish organizations, the Jewish Agency, Haganah and Histadrut, as well as the British authorities, routinely condemned Irgun operations as terrorism and branded it an illegal organization as a result of the group's attacks on civilian targets.[98]"

Reference 98 is unrelated and leads to the profile of Rahm Emanuel, born in 1959, at least 10 years after the Irgun was disbanded.

Unfortunately, that means there are no evidence of "Leaders within the mainstream Jewish organizations [...] routinely condemned Irgun operations as terrorism". Furthermore, while the other statements can use references already available in the article, their lack of use voids them.

Please rephrase the paragraph to contain a proper references to the following: "Leaders within the mainstream Jewish organizations, the Jewish Agency, Haganah and Histadrut, as well as the British authorities, routinely condemned Irgun operations as terrorism and branded it an illegal organization as a result of the group's attacks on civilian targets." Or remove it altogether since it is currently not supported. ~2026-41413-24 (talk) 13:37, 25 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Done Good catch, I've removed the unrelated reference. —Biosketch (talk) 23:12, 25 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
