Azoulay, as a Moroccan family name

Hello Geshem. As per Haim Zafrani's book Two thousands years of Jewish life in Morocco, Azoulay is actually coming from the village of Tazoulait (it's also a family name found among Muslims of Southern Moroccan Berber descent). Many Moroccan Jewish family moved to Algeria during the French colonization because of business purposes, and this is how Azoulay, Elkaïm, Ohayon, Bouzaglo are also found among Algerian Jewish families.

So yes it can be found among Algerians, but it's a Moroccan surname (the same way we also have Algerian surname among Moroccan people, like Tlemcani (from Tlemcen), Maghnaoui (from Maghnia), etc..

As a matter of fact, Azoulay is not even in the top family names in Algeria.

Please hit me up if you want to discuss it further.

Dearly,

Hey Bigdoul! If you are sure about this, then I am OK with this. Algerian Jews with (possibly very old) Moroccan descent would be covered by Moroccan descent.--Geshem Bracha (talk) 10:20, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

If you make any more edits like that I just reverted we will be having a discussion at AE. Your call.Selfstudier (talk) 11:35, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

I don't appreciate your tone here. I made an edit in line with the recommendation of the admin who closed the A10 speedy, who said: "does not meet WP:CSD#A10, as title is a plausible redirect. consider merging or redirecting". I must say that your edit (and whomever added this to begin with), that uses Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization members (Erekat in an opinion piece, and Ashrawi's speech at an infamous conference no less) as reliable sources will not stand up to scrutiny by admins.--Geshem Bracha (talk) 11:43, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

"Consider merging or redirecting" is not permission for you to merge or redirect. For that you need a consensus, which is generally sought at WP:AfD. Zero 13:17, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

You may of course bold edit, I am not trying to obstruct you in any way but given the ongoing controversy, if there is a problem with some edit, just write it up on the talk page (tag it as well if you like) and we can talk it through, amend, find a different source, attribute, whatever it is that's needed to fix it up. A problem with the entire page needs handling by some dispute resolution process.Selfstudier (talk) 13:44, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

• I also noticed your random edits in Maarakeh massacre and Israel massacres in Lebanon. You removed sources, added unneded info, removed covered details. -- Maudslay II (talk) 14:59, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

  In Maarakeh , I removed a deliberate hoax, the sources used did not support the claims.--Geshem Bracha (talk) 15:40, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

So you pick only two sources, ignore everything related in them, act like other sources don't exist, and then say it's a hoax. -- Maudslay II (talk) 16:32, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

I read all the sources, none of the reliable ones support this. The very first sentence is "The Maarakeh massacre took place on 4 March 1985, when Israel Defence Forces bombed a local mosque in the southern Lebanese village of Maarakeh". It cites csmonitor that is on a different incident, but says "Lebanese Cabinet ministers and the Shiite Amal movement blamed Israel for the Beirut bombing, and for a bombing last week of a Shiite mosque in the south Lebanese village of Maarakeh. The Israelis denied involvement in the bombings.". Lebanese claims are not facts.--Geshem Bracha (talk) 17:02, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

I don't know if I should get too involved in this, but I think you'd like to look at the article about Israel again. 79.183.205.72 (talk) 15:34, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
