legality
Could somebody explain what is "POV" or "undue" about the only referenced piece of information in this entire article? A certain editor, who we can all guess what their previous username was, has removed it on those grounds. nableezy - 17:42, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- what is that supposed to mean? if you have a kind of grudge against me it's fine but don't accuse me of something with out saying some evidence LibiBamizrach (talk) 19:32, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for not addressing the issue and again reverting based on a bogus rationale. Here is what the source says:
Just for fun here are a few more:Settlement of occupied territory is illegal under international law.
But the Settlers' Council has grand plans for the Psagot winery - Unless you have a valid reason for removing the only sourced piece of information in this article I will be returning the line. nableezy - 23:07, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
