Terrible article[edit]

Far under WP's usual standards, this article's aim is to demonize rather than inform - In fact it is a textbook attempt at character assassination, without any subtility about it; The focus is put on extreme views from one-sided, questionable sources, with no other side of the argumentation medal being showed at all. Furthermore, there's no valid recollection of the subject's activities, apart for those who would cause all of the apparent zionistic hatred, reluctantly. Was he really part of the Versailles negociations after WWI? To answer this question, and all others not related to caricature, we must go elsewhere than the WP page, as it is obviously under the control of an interested party. Who's responsible for this mess?

I just saw the French language version of the same page, and it looks a lot more like something that would pass the WP bar. Can we, like, translate it here? MVictorP (talk) 16:28, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Resource: dead link: House Committee on un-American Activities, 1954 (PDF 3 Meg), does not exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TellMeTheTruthSVP (talk TellMeTheTruthSVP (talk) 17:40, 20 February 2022 (UTC)• contribs) 02:21, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
