You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 107.21.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:49, 2 December 2024. Your current IP address is 107.21.198.2.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== Hebrew naming conventions ==

Urgent: see [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Hebrew)]] to add your opinions about this important matter. Thank you. [[User:IZAK|IZAK]] 17:25, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

== News section seems absurd ==

The news section on the right seems an absurd collection of unencyclopedia-like content ([[WP:NOT]] a mere collection of external links). Yes, Israelis do have a thing for their news, and Jews around the world are very concerned about what's going on in Israel and its portrayal in world media. Still, that does not seem to justify something better found at a web directory and unparalleled in any other Wikiportals I've seen: indeed this section is meant for news updates themselves, not a listing of sources. When [[User:Humus sapiens|Humus sapiens]] first [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Wikiportal:Israel/In_the_news&diff=14907910&oldid=14783365 moved] to this format with the question ''links to newssources are better than outdated news. Should we remove this panel altogether?'', I would have answered yes. Any opinions? [[user:jnothman|jnothman]] [[User_talk:jnothman|<sup>talk</sup>]] 11:22, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

== SHABAS ==

I'm posting this here since I don't think it will get much attention on WP:RA. Basically there is still no article on the prison service, [[SHABAS]], and I think that's pretty bad. It's possibly the most important Israel-related article that still doesn't exist. The other one being [[Education Minister of Israel]] (there is a [[Finance Minister of Israel]] even though there's nothing about the ministry itself). I don't think many Wikipedians work for SHABAS, or there would've been something, but anyone who knows anything about the prison service, please create an article; it would be greatly appreciated. -- <span style="font-family:wingdings;">Y</span> [[User:Ynhockey|Ynhockey]] || [[User talk:Ynhockey|Talk]] <span style="font-family:wingdings;">Y</span> 07:56, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

== banning of Pro Israel editors ==

You may be intesrted to look at this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration/Zeq/Proposed_decision

It resulted from very low particiopation in articles about the Middle east by pro-israeli editors which left it open for palestinian propeganda.

== Lots of Problems with translatinos ==

First of all, the translation of "Did you Know" is wrong. It means "the know". Second, it is written in the feminine plaural. Unless every single wikipedia user is female (which is obviously not the case) it should be in the masculine. I have no Hebrew typing capability in IE, but if you have [[DavkaWriter]] give me your e-mail address and I will e-mail you the translation. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Smartyshoe|Smartyshoe]] ([[User talk:Smartyshoe|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Smartyshoe|contribs]]) 11:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC).</small><!-- [Template:Unsigned] -->

== Project Banners? ==

Shalom, all. I realize this isn't a WikiProject, and so I am not quite sure how it works differently. But seeing as how there is no "WikiProject Israel", I thought it might be pertinent that you (we) have a project banner to place on talk pages of articles, labeling them as Israeli articles and linking them back here. I was going to just go ahead and do it, but I decided as I am not a member of your project/portal, I'd talk it out first. Todah. [[User:LordAmeth|LordAmeth]] 12:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

== Israeli cuisine ==

"Israelis love [[falafel]] and [[baba ganoush]]." 

This sentence is downright ridiculous. As well note Israeli music by saying "Israelis love to listen to [[Chava Alberstein]]." Israel is diverse in its tastes and sub-cultures, just like any other country (and perhaps more than most). An article on [[Israeli cuisine]] might not be amiss, but alongside well-known Middle Eastern foods like hummus & tchina, you can also mention [[Ashkenazi]] foods like [[gefilte fish]], holiday foods like [[homentash|hamantasch]], and even Russian or Ethipian food. And of course the legal limitations of [[kosher]]ness and associated controversy. 

I'd edit it right now, but I haven't seen an article like this, and I think consensus would be a good idea, in this case. [[User:LeaHazel|LeaHazel]] : [[User_talk:LeaHazel|talk]] : [[Special:Contributions/LeaHazel|contribs]] 15:25, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

== Jews:no to assimilation, yes to acculturation ==

[[Jews]] today, like their ancestors in [[Alexandria]], can be influenced by the world around them, adopt the ideas of surrounding culture, yet remain loyal Jews and not completely assimilate. We can live in both worlds and make a success of that situation. That is an important message for any Jew in modern times who wants to be both a civilized person and a true believer.--<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:15px;">HIZKIAH</span> <small>([[User:HIZKIAH|User]]&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;[[User_talk:HIZKIAH|Talk]])</small> 08:12, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

According to the Rambam, THE definitive source of Jewish history, knowledge and one of the most cultured human beings ever, claimed that the Jews of Alexandria were completely assimilated (and further would not be the chief rabbi of Alexandria due to this fact).  Check out his biography, directly after his trip to Palestine.[[Special:Contributions/89.139.231.136|89.139.231.136]] ([[User talk:89.139.231.136|talk]]) 17:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)



:Sorry, this page is for discussion of the Wikipedia portal, not for general discussion of Judaism or Israel.

== News ==

Bad news: so far we had 2 attempts to add news panel and both failed to keep up. 
Good news: There is no reason to duplicate/triplicate efforts at [[Portal:Current_events/Middle_East]], [[Wikinews]] and here. I've added these (among few other) links to a new Wikimedia panel and I am going to comment out the news.

== Sources ==

In being a frequent editor to the politics section, I am troubled by the amount of links to ''Arutz Sheva'' and ''Israel National News'' pieces being used as references by a small but persistant group of editors, particularly noticeable in the [[Israel's unilateral disengagement plan]] article. My opinion is that they definitely aren't credible sources - they're right wing propaganda tools of the settlers (one article for instance claims 250,000 at a protest march, whilst Ynet puts it at 70,000).

Perhaps we should draw up a list of reliable sources on Israeli affairs. To begin with, I suggest:
*Jerusalem Post
*Ha'Aretz
*Ynet
*BBC and other international news organisations such as CNN etc.
However, there is also a problem with JPost and Haaretz articles that they disappear quite quickly - all the ones I checked from the disengagement article were broken. It's also shame that Ma'ariv don't have an English version. [[User:Number 57|Number 57]] 22:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Every source you guys mentioned is bias, banning sources is not going to get you anywhere.  Arutz7 represents the right wing of Israel.  Haaretz is as left wing as Arutz 7 is right wing.  This year Danny Rubenstein, an editor and boardman at Haaretz called Israel an Apartheid State before the UN and concurred that that's a term common at Haaretz.  That thinking is neither centrist within Israel nor globally.  If one may post Haaretz as a credible news source, then Arutz 7, should be considered a viable source as well.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/89.139.231.136|89.139.231.136]] ([[User talk:89.139.231.136|talk]]) 18:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Couple of ideas - in the news, on this day, and a featured quotes section. Perhaps a featured biography.

::Sorry, I dont understand what you mean? [[User:Flymeoutofhere|Flymeoutofhere]] 14:24, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
:::There are two main columns. The left side is topped with 'selected article', the right side 'selected picture'. On my screen, there is apparently not enough room for both columns, so the page is broken into a left column with blank space on the right side, and then reversed at the bottom of the left column where the right column starts. In contrast, the Canada, Turkey, and France portals do not have this issue. Could you please size the columns closer to France or Canada. (Turkey has a mucher wider left side than right side.)

== List of Olmert Ministry Scandals ==

Can we assemble a list of scadals in the current adminstration

Olmerts ministry has been plagued by a circus of scandals including.
*1. Rape allegations against President [[Moshe Katzav]]
*2. Rape allegations against former Justice minister [[Haim Ramon]]
*3. General incompetance with the conduct of the [[2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict]]
*4. Embezzlement charges against Finance Minister Hirschon
*5. Corruption charges against Olmert from his time in Jerusalem and sale of Bank Leumi when he was finance minister.
*6. Selection of Amir Peretz for defense minister (Including the capped binoculars incident.) <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/24.60.163.16|24.60.163.16]] ([[User talk:24.60.163.16|talk]]) 09:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->

:Frankly, I couldn't care less. There is still so much more work to do here on wp rather than whine about some losers in current events. Just a reminder, wp is an enclylopedia not an almanac of news. Try and remember specific political events that occured even five years ago, they just aren't important. --[[User:Shuki|Shuki]] 11:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

::I concur. If this list were to be made into an article, it'd be awfully POV in any case. If you feel the need to discuss these scandals briefly in Olmert's own article, and/or to create separate articles for each, feel free, assuming you focus only on those which are really worthwhile to discuss. Note how many members of the Bush administration have scandals discussed within the biography article, and not (I hope - I haven't checked) in separate articles. Creating a list is not only meaningless towards the long-run significance of these events in history, but indicative of bias, which we try to avoid on Wikipedia.

== Interview and bot to auto-update ==

Wikinews has [[wikinews:Shimon Peres discusses the future of Israel|an interview]] that should perhaps be linked to from here.

There is a bot to automate copying over a list of latest news from Wikinews to Wikipedia portals, see [[Portal:Television]] for an example. I can't remember all the details but it might be worth looking in to. As a Wikinewsie I'd love to (a) see our coverage promoted here, and (b) See people who keep an eye on this portal try their hand on Wikinews to get a story in the bot-generated section.

[[User:RichardF]] who originally came up with the bot idea has implemented it on a number of portals, and I'd like to see this transclusion of data between WN and WP become well established. It should offer an opportunity to cover something that might not be considered encyclopedic, but it news. That's what Wikinews is for - we only go nuts when you have the Asian Tsunami, London Bombings, but as I expect it to get progressively harder to start new articles on Wikipedia, Wikinews offers new opportunities every day. --''[[Wikinews:User:Brianmc|Brian McNeil]] /<sup>[[Wikinews:User talk:Brianmc|talk]]</sup>'' 17:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

For the Israel stamp collectors and lovers, there is no article yet for [[Postage stamps and postal history of Israel]] (part of [[:Category:Postal history by country]]) that would have so many Jewish themes.

Hi. I've been reading many articles related to the state of Israel, Judaism and the Hebrew Language. I'm astonished for the enormous times that Yemeni jews are mentioned in them. I had never heard about yemeni-hebrew language, the purest form of hebrew that remains from the ancient (scriptural) language. I was not aware that a significant ammount of yemenis took part of the [[First Aliyah|first]] and [[second Aliyah]]. etc.

Is it really so? or is it just somebody from yemen that wanted to include himself in wikipedia? --[[Special:Contributions/201.253.237.170|201.253.237.170]] ([[User talk:201.253.237.170|talk]]) 00:22, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
:I believe that the information regarding Yemenite Jews on Wikipedia is fair and accurate. However, I have not read many of the articles in question in a while, and probably do not know part of the information myself. Are there any specific passages you have come across that appear inaccurate? —[[User:Ynhockey|Ynhockey]] <sup>([[User talk:Ynhockey|Talk]])</sup> 13:07, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

== [[Hemant Karkare]] and [[anti-Israel]] [[Conspiracy Theories]] ==

I would like to bring attention to the article on [[Hemant Karkare]], which is currently sufferring from a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hemant_Karkare&action=history massive edit war], possibly by sock puppets ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Arjun024&diff=prev&oldid=368886990 see my post here for the list]) led by an anti-Israel editor named [[User:TwoHorned]] (He tried to POV-push in the [[India-Israel relations]] article before). The focus of the "edit-war" is over [[WP:FRINGE]] [[Conspiracy Theories]] concerning his death and the [[2008 Mumbai attacks]] (in which a [[Chabad Lubavich]] center in [[Mumbai]] was destroyed by Pakistani [[Muslim]]s). The edit-warriors keep inserting many bogus claims made by extremists, one of them is that [[Israeli]]-government has been fomenting religious riots in India (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hemant_Karkare&oldid=368773498#Controversies this section of their version]). Perhaps some input and contribution from the regular users of this portal would prove constructive in this area.

In this set of templates - should we keep the general and vague word "Terrorism" in the headline or should we change it to a word (or words) which would help define more precisely the difference between (1) any type of notable murder committed against Israeli targets and (2) any type of Arab/foreign militia terror attacks and/or individual nationalistic-motivated terror attacks (committed not only by Arabs) committed against Israeli targets.

Hello I would just like to say that the notion that Israel has the most Nobel Prizes per capita is wrong. Israel is in fact at the 11th position as you can see [[List_of_countries_by_Nobel_laureates_per_capita|here]]. That's not too bad, but still what it says now is wrong and I just wanted to give you the chance to correct this. [[User:Fipplet|Fipplet]] أهلا و سهلا  12:24, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

== Notice from the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]] ==

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|WikiProject Portals]] is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Project members|membership]] is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are '''[[WT:WPPORT|design initiatives]]''' for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: [[Template:Transclude lead excerpt]] and [[Template:Transclude random excerpt]].

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Tools|Tools are provided]]''' for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Portals#New_Project_tasks|task list]]'''.

From your friendly neighborhood [[WP:WPPORT|Portals WikiProject]]. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,   <span class="nowrap">&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; ''[[User talk:The Transhumanist|The&nbsp;Transhumanist]]''&nbsp;&nbsp; </span> 07:34, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
