What is wrong with this page? ThoughtCrime1969 (talk) 22:34, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

If someone is wondering, TC1969 is talking about a version of the article created by them in August and deleted on the same day by User:Hamilton, not the current version.--ZooGuard (talk) 08:35, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

this page is nothing but slander[edit]

It is full of lies about Professor Toaff. He is a respected Israeli academic, he has the right not to be subjected to this defamatory treatment. Just the facts motherfucker (talk) 11:11, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

A respected Israeli academic who supports the pseudohistory of Blood Libel? What? --Revolverman (talk) 11:18, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
You know, Israeli. Never mind that he's actually Italian, he's an Israeli. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 11:27, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
Read the wikipedia motherfuckers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Toaff "Ariel Toaff (Ancona, Italy,1942) is a professor of Medieval and Renaissance History at Bar Ilan University in Israel, whose work has focused on Jews and their history in Italy." Yes he was born in Italy and his father was Chief Rabbi of Rome, but he has lived most of his life in Israel and he is a tenured professor at an Israeli university.

It helps to bring back up for your case first, rather then demanding action. When you do it your way, you make it yourself look like a crank with an axe to grind. "(fuck you cunts)" also doesn't help. --Revolverman (talk) 14:28, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
The frothing-at-the-mouth redname has a point - the article was created by User:Abraham Waks, who may have overstated his case. Beware of wiki-cuckoos!--ZooGuard (talk) 11:46, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
Naw, this page is fine. Toaff is a crank who wrote a book supporting blood libel. His own father denounced it. He's since backed off his claims a bit and I believe pulled the book, but respected would be a serious stretch. --Marlow (talk) 17:23, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
