POV

[edit]

This article is written as if the Paratroopers at the Western Wall exists entirely in a vacuum, completely ignoring the significance of it to to anyone that doesn't have a world view that blindly supports this. There's a New Yorker article, for instance, talking about the context of this photo, and, to cut to the chase, hypothesizes that the photo is such a close shot, a shot that shows so little of the Western Wall, which is supposed to be one of the subjects of the photo, because of the densely built up Moroccan quarter, inches away from the soldiers celebrating the violent conquest and illegal occupation. The illegal occupiers predicted a religious pilgrimage of they believed as many as 100,000 pilgrims to visit a place where barely a single person could comfortably stand... Leading, 3 days later, to the tragic, razing of the Moroccan quarter, which was done with no valid legal process. No permit. No permission from any valid authority. This article is written entirely from one point of view ignoring all others.71.178.3.227 (talk) 12:25, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Usual anti-semitic view. No context as to what the Israelis para were there for at all - like you know an 'illegal' anti-UN ceasefire attack by five nations against Israel.
All of the householders were given alernative accommodation and compensation by the Israelis for the remodelling of the area. That is legal not illegal. 79.71.170.238 (talk) 00:18, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
