Cleaning up the reference sources and neutrality of this article

A major effort needs to be made to find more universally acceptable reference sources for this article, as a scan of the current references reveals a number of heavily partisan sources with little or no balance.

I completely agree. The sources are nearly ALL from extremely slanted sourcesTallicfan20 (talk) 04:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Surely the issue is whether the information presented from the various sources is true as far as can be ascertained? The very nature of the topic lends itself to extremely partisan sources. A corrollary of this is that less partisan sources think twice. In the article, there is a reference to Robert Fisk consulting the Custodian of Absentee property about how much land in Israel was owned by Arabs who had "left" the country. Here is a fuller description of the episode The Keys to Palestine. In particular, the reaction to the London Times printing an article based on that interview speaks volumes as to why less obviously partisan sources would hesitate to discuss the true ownership of the land in Israel.

Change entry title

This entry's title should be changed, since it does not correctly reflect the contents of the article. This entry does not comprehensively deal with land law in Israel, rather with those aspects of land law relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict. For instance, the important Land Act 1969, which finally abrogated the Ottoman Land Code of 1848, is not discussed.

My impression is that the article is politically motivated, but that is beside the point. What is however pertinent is that the article title correctly reflect the contents of this entry. A possible suggestion: Israeli land law relating to the conflict in Palestine. Tkeu (talk) 19:18, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure about the capitalization? This doesn't seem like a proper noun to me. Jafeluv (talk) 09:47, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm ready to rename the article per this apparently unopposed name-change request, but is the proposed title really the appropriate one? I'm inclined to relist to get more input. -GTBacchus^(talk) 20:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
