i've seen no indication that this is a personal page of shimon tzabar, and even if it were - it should not be added unless it holds a "bio" or "about us" section indicating it's seriousness. Jaakobou 14:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

This is a web publication set up by Shimon Tzabar. It describes itself as "a magazine edited by Israeli dissidents." See the contacts page, which lists the editorial board: "Shimon Tzabar, Moshé Machover, Tzvi Havkin, Rami Heilbronn, Akiva Orr". It was one of Tzabar's main projects, and is mentioned in all of the obituaries. Of course it should be included in the external links. RolandR 14:45, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
give me a break, it says "against Israel's policy of ethnic cleansing" - (1) that's bad english, and (2) there's no way this is a proper encyclopedic external link/resource. (3) please do not revert blindly without thinking how poorly this "contribution external link" reflects on wikipedia. Jaakobou 17:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
You may well disagree with it, but please explain in what way this is bad English. Of course it is a proper link; it is this writer's own magazine, and entirely legitimate and appropriate. It would be unencyclopaedic not to include it. I never revert "blindly", don't be so superior and patronising. It is not Wikipedias's task to approve or disapprove of a writer's output; but it surely is our task to let others know where they can find this, and read it for themselves.

Misplaced Pages should link to publications, not to poorly edited blogs. Jaakobou 19:19, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Please do not revert back before discussion is over, I think this website should not be included on the external links because it's clearly not a source that should be attached to an encyclopedia that is supposed to maintain NPOV. Lizrael 22:36, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Of course a writer's own magazine should be included in an article about him. Stop trying to censor views you disagree with. RolandR 23:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
maybe if it were a real magazine rather than a low level website a 10 year old can make (and possibly add Shimon Tzabar's name to it?). this is unreliable anti-israel opinion pushing User:RolandR. -- Jaakobou 01:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
My dear Jaakobou, this article is about Shimon Tzabar, so it is reasonable to include his website, even if you don't like it. ابو علي (Abu Ali) 10:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
User:Abu ali, it would be reasonable to add his publications, not an unencyclopedic website that we don't even know if it's really his. see other users' comments and stop disregarding them and inserting the disputed materials. Jaakobou 12:35, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
