| Apr 7, 2017 at 13:42 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | (I've explained why not to remove the source - this is the source being given by the claimants. It also has more than one argument cited. | |
| Apr 7, 2017 at 13:41 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | The language used isn't that hateful. While I virtually never hear the words "Zionist" or "Neocon" except to disparage those views, they are not hateful words. I've locked, because the edit war is not getting us closer to a solution. | |

| Apr 7, 2017 at 7:43 | comment | added | SIMEL | @Oddthinking, if the meadleeast.org source is problematic, then we can drop it and use the artiles it qoutes. No need to quote inflamitory and hatefull language that doesn't help to explain the main claim. | |

| Apr 7, 2017 at 3:20 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | @SIMEL: You may be right about "very specific language", but I want to assume good intentions. I agree that "Did someone make this claim?" is insignificant and boring. I don't agree that including that single quote turns the question into the boring version. I wanted to avoid ascribing the Klein quote, which makes the real claim, to the author of MiddleEast.org article. The MiddleEast.org article is horribly written, and I was tempted to remove it from the chain, but the OP cites as the reference others give, and for all I know they invented the Klein quote. | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 21:36 | comment | added | SIMEL | @Oddthinking, that quote was put not because it's important, but because it uses a very specific language that the editor likes. | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 21:34 | comment | added | SIMEL | @Oddthinking, this edit transforms the question from "Did pro Israeli americans lobbied for a war in Iraq?" to "Did some jewish writes claimed that pro isralei americans lobied for a war in Iraq?". This complitly transforms the question and, in my view, make it into an insignificat and boring, something that should be answered with who cares. This edit doesn't conform with the question in the title, or in the body of the question. If this is indeed the main claim of the article, then the article it references are the real claim and they alone should be quoted. | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 13:11 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | I've tried to compromise to settle the edit war. Please discuss before making further changes, so I don't have to lock it. | |

| Jun 30, 2016 at 12:24 | comment | added | Golden Cuy | "Did pro-Israel Americans lobby Americans" may be on-topic, but I suspect that asking whether they were decisive in the US decision to invade Iraq would be off-topic, as it's a motivation question. | |
| Jun 30, 2016 at 10:57 | comment | added | Christian | Is the question whether there were pro-Israel Americans that lobbied for the Iraq war or is that that those people where the strongest lobby? | |

Cut back extraneous text. Quoted claim. Reduced bias against claimant. Changed to clarify *Americans*, not Israelis were doing the lobbying (as per claim)

| Jun 29, 2016 at 22:00 | comment | added | Henry | It is not a novel claim: see for example this abcnews article from 2003. Essentially the argument goes American neo-conservatives pressed for the second Gulf War, and that many of them also had strong ties with hawkish members of the Likud Party in Israel, and this is little doubt about this. The claim then becomes that there was a specific chain from Israel through the neo-conservatives to the George W Bush post-911 administration, directing US military policy for the benefit of Israel; this would be harder to demonstrate, | |
