Her parents were "war resistors"

[edit]

This term should be reserved for those who escape conscription. Did BOTH her parents really escape conscription? It seems unlikely the military was forcing young women to fight in vietnam. Doesn't seem likely that her mother would be facing conscription. Maybe the father was facing conscription, but I think this should be verified as well, not simply assumed to be true based on the familys testimony. I think calling them war resistors is a cheap attempt to build up their status as an activist family. 70.80.72.64 (talk) 06:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Also noticed the source to this sentence, that her parents were "war resistors", is a link to a youtube video - surely not an acceptable source for wikipedia (?)  Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.80.72.64 (talk) 06:35, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Misquote in criticisms of Israel

[edit]

The way "[some Jews]” is added to the quote of Klein’s Ramallah speech is likely intended to make it sound antisemitic than what she actually said. It would be better to include her actual quote from the source below before mentioning the “[some Jews]” quote as backlash, if at all.
