BLP[edit]

This page is virtually unsourced. Embezzlement is a serious charge. Please add sources with links we can read. David in DC (talk) 21:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the WJC article for the sources. This guys is a serious fraudster, yet this article reads like it was written by his PR firm. Threatening Austria with 6 years of pain? Isn't that the exact sort of thing that plays into the hands of anti-Semites? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.130.0.8 (talk) 19:16, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite or blank[edit]

The first paragraph is almost gibberish. The rest is only slightly better. Would someone who knows this subject please fix or blank? David in DC (talk) 21:46, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To do list[edit]

Decipher and edit 1st sentence. When at NYU and when at Bar-Ilan? Teaching what, where?

Decide if what's here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Jewish_Congress#Israel_Singer

belongs on this page, and, if so, how much of it.

Stubs for redlinks?

Any volunteers? David in DC (talk) 17:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid reference for a quote: The reference for Singer quote of "If Poland does not satisfy Jewish claims it will be publicly attacked and humiliated."[2]" points to the site "http://zaprasza.net/a_y.php?mid=21357". This site is a Polish site without any reference to Israel Singer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.65.1.199 (talk) 21:23, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax quotation[edit]

The quotation:

"more than three million Jews died in Poland and the Polish people are not going to be the heirs of the Polish Jews. We are never going to allow this.... They're gonna hear from us until Poland freezes over again. If Poland does not satisfy Jewish claims it will be publicly attacked and humiliated"

is most probably a hoax disseminated over the internet by Pogonowski. Not a single reliable web site gives it, but it spreads from Wikipedia to all sorts of extremist texts. Maitake (talk) 12:51, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quote, supposedly originating from Reuters's interview, was referenced in contemporary messages from April 1996 (for example: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/soc.culture.jewish/n8Y3GlL-86E/mTjXD6aQn3AJ ). Therefore I find it unlikely to be Pogonowski's hoax. It is unfortunate that Reuters' archive from that period is not publicly available. Merdis (talk) 13:46, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not good enough. This is still "he said she said". Find the original Reuters story (now apparently an interview).Volunteer Marek (talk) 17:18, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I concur, see also more recent discussion at Talk:World_Jewish_Congress#Hoax_quotation. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:38, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2018 update[edit]

Hopefully, the issues above were resolved with 2018 updates, and those discussions can be archived. Please carry on adding to the page, fellow Wikipedians. 20:40, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
