merge

To delete one of the duplicated articles, I suggest that this article/naming Eli Yishai be kept because: Yishai is virtually only known by 'Eli', and this article is a bit more developed the the Eliyahu one'. There are only a couple of items from the Eliyahu that should be retreived. --Shuki 17:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

xenophobe?

Ha-aretz published an opinion that was extremely critical of Yishai, calling him "Le Pen with a beard", the "ultimate Israeli xenophobe". --91.115.191.224 (talk) 00:12, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sept 14/2010 CNN has video of him calling for the immediate expulsion of non-jewish children under five to protect the "jewishness" [sic] of Israel. If that isn't xenophobic...[1] Mrrealtime (talk) 16:16, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are you soapboxing now? That is not xenophobic. And would you expect anything different, in any country from anyone responsible for immigration issues to be tolerant of illegal aliens? --Shuki (talk) 20:25, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

it's only racist/xenophobic if you want to expell jews — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.5.184.243 (talk) 15:24, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Controversies - Palestinian Hamas

I fail to see how an opinion that Hamas should be "wiped out" would fit into a Controversies category with some of the more radical statements. Most of the Western world considers Hamas to be a terrorist organisation, and generally deals with terrorism in precisely that manner. Is America's opinion of Al Qaeda considered to be a controversy? 101.113.194.115 (talk) 12:39, 1 May 2012 (UTC) daphne[reply]

Wiping out a party means wiping out the people behind it. That means killing people, just like USA have done with al-Qaeda. USA's behaviour towards al-Qaeda has, on top of that, been illegal. So yeah, of course it's a controversy. Especially when the man have come with such remarks about Muslims that he have.

In Wikipedia we have WP:Biographies of living persons which does not allow unsourced negative statements to remain. I wouldn't be surprised if he said these things, but they have to be sourced. If someone wants to source them, I advise looking in News Google Archives and searching his name and each subject. (Otherwise all you come up with is this article.)

According to Yishai, asylum seekers should be accommodated in voluntary work camps in order to work off their expenses free of charge. He has also called homosexuality "sick", and stated that Hamas should be "wiped out".^{[citation needed]}
