Historical anachronisms
Ahmed Shukairy, born in 1908, could not have had a "Palestinian" father. Palestine did not yet exist during the many centuries of Ottoman rule. In 1908,what we know of today as Jordan and Israel, including Judea-Samaria and The Gaza Strip, then, was made up of five provinces under the Ottoman Rulers: Sanjak Acre, Sanjak Nablus,the Independent Sanjak of Jerusalem and on the other side of the Jordan River, the Sanjak of Maan and Sanjak Hauran , both part of the Vilayet Damascus.These last two became Transjordan, until Abdullah in 1948, attacked the newly established State of Israel and captured Judea-Samaria. Now because he was on both sides of the Jordan River, he renamed his kingdom Jordan. In 1950, he granted Jordanian citizenship to all the Arabs in his newly acquired territories, now called the Western Bank of his Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. In 1951, an Arab killed him!
The 1915 Sykes-Picot Agreement, does not mention a "palestine". The 1917 Balfour Declaration was to establish a Jewish Homeland called Palestine. The 1919 agreement between Emir Feisal and Dr. Weizmann looked forward to a cordial relationship between Emir Feisal's Arab State and the Jewish State to be. When T.E. Lawrence had his meoirs published of his adventures as "Lawrence of Arabia" called "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" it contained four maps of the area he had been in. None of the maps has the word "palestine" on them, yet he, Gen. Allenby and Storrs managed to get around. -- unsigned comment by IP 81.218.115.163 11:07, 17 August 2005
Nothing on Perceptions
Why is there nothing on the fact that he is widely perceived to be an ineffectual loudmouth who accomplished very little -- not to mention his most famous utterance, just before the 6-day war, about "Throwing the Jews into the sea"? AnonMoos 16:13, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- There are two good reasons here (a) he didn't say it, though he did say other much more objectionable things (see Shemesh, Moshe (2003). Did Shuqayri Call for "Throwing the Jews into the Sea"? Israel Studies. 8(2), 70-81 and (b) the Arab states were more interested in covering their own failings in the Six-Day War by using him as a fall guy. --Ian Pitchford 19:42, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
POV: Pro-Arab propaganda
This article is nothing but propaganda. As the above comment relates, Shukairy was a highly inflammatory racist. The article mentions none of it, such his infamous prediction that none of the Jews would survive the coming battle.68.111.71.197 (talk) 10:31, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
UN roles in error
The article says he was Syrian rep in the UN for 1949 to 1951 and a Saudi Arabian rep in the UN for 1957 to 1962. However, he was a Syrian rep in Jan 1952 and also in May 1956 (Official records, 724th Meeting, page 10). This indicates that the description here is quite inaccurate and we need a better source. This page seems to have it right: he was Syrian rep for 1950-1956 and Saudi rep for 1957-1963. But is that source one we can use under WP:RS? Zero 16:54, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
unexplained reverts
Shukerii was born in Lebanon, to a Turkish mother. It seems both the category of "Turkish descent" and "immigrant to Palestine" are appropriate could the editor who keeps removing this explain why? Epson Salts (talk) 13:27, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
