I deleted this sentence from a bit about Olgin's "Stalinism" and opposition to Trotskyism: "While an editor of the Communist Yiddish daily Freiheit in 1929, he blamed the Jews of Palestine when Arab terrorists killed 67 Jews in Hebron.[1]", in addition to this phrasing being NPOV, and having nothing to do with the preceding sentence (many Trotskyists are anti-Zionist Jews as well, many "Stalinists", whether Jewish or not, might be called "Zionists" by anti-Zionists), is written in an NPOV fashion, I would argue does not accurately reflect the source from which it quotes, which anyway in addition to not being particularly NPOV itself, does not seem relevant to the discussion of either "Stalinism" or MJ Olgin's person. Even if a section on MJ Olgin's stance on Zionism were to be included and Epstein were to be taken as a key authority on the matter making use of well-contextualised sources, Epstein's own volume documents a more complex picture of Olgin's stances (plural) than that displayed in the now-deleted sentence implies.
A fact from Moissaye Joseph Olgin appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 March 2009, and was viewed approximately 867 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
^Melech Epstein, The Jew and Communism New York, 1959, pp. 225–6.
