Ok, gotcha. To save time I'll just give you my gloss of the situation, harlan is the man to go to for all of his source wizardry (come to think of it, I should get his opinion on my opinion). This comes with all the usual provisos that my chief qualification for this opinion is that I have an internet connection and no better hobbies. The short answer is yes, they think it's legal. Military necessity allows occupying powers a variety of fun abilities under the Hague Regulations and Geneva Conventions, including the ability to seize land and destroy private property. The High Court (and this is very shrewd) protests that they, as the highest legal authority, cannot determine military necessity and leave it up to the military commander of the region. Thus they've yet to rule on it and probably never will; if the peace agreement ever comes then the new boundaries will decide which settlements have to go. Until then the settlements are defended as temporary (ie not violating Oslo) military necessities (not violating GC et. al.) that are outside the purview of the courts and under control of the army. The arguments are so arcane, so mercurial and so devoid of merit (made up for in chutzpah) that trying to pin down anything is entirely thankless. That's probably as clear as mud but there ya go!

== Response to question on duplicating material ==

Sol: you asked about duplicating material from [[Peace_and_war_in_Judaism#Wars_of_extermination_in_the_Tanakh]] into the [[herem]] article. I've encountered that situation many times, and discovered that the applicable WP policies are [[WP:Summary style]] and [[Wikipedia:Content_fork#Acceptable_types_of_forking]]. My personal philosophy is to do what is best for the typical reader of the encyclopedia: each article should be self contained (so that argues in favor of duplicating some material) but articles should also make use of "see also" and "main" links (which argues against duplicating material). A balance must be struck. One helpful thing to do is to treat one article as the "parent" (higher-level; overview) and one as the "child" (more specific or focused). Considering the articles you are discussing: [[Judaism and violence]] is the grandparent; [[Peace and war in Judaism]] is the parent; and [[Herem]] is the child. So herem should have the most detail about herem. The parent, [[Peace and war in Judaism]] should have a summary of the material (see [[WP:Summary style]]) with a "main" link (use [[template:main]]) pointing to [[herem]]. Bottom line: yes, material from [[Peace_and_war_in_Judaism#Wars_of_extermination_in_the_Tanakh]] can be copied into [[herem]] provided the sources say it is related to herem. One related issue is the name of the article [[herem]]: because many sources discussing "wars of extermination" do not use the word herem or cherem, it may lead to confusion, so renaming the article to "herem (wars of extermination)" or "wars of total destruction (herem)" or similar may reduce confusion (plus the possibility of editors trying to exclude material because the sources do not explicitly mention the word "herem"). If the [[herem]] article is ''not'' renamed to have a more general (and understandable to English-language readers) title, then the duplicated material should ''not'' be removed from the parent article. I hope that helps. --[[User:Noleander|Noleander]] ([[User talk:Noleander|talk]]) 11:38, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

You are justifying calling me a criminal as self defense, insisting this has to do with a hacker despite having no idea what it is. Once you see it, it will be obvious who probably sent it. I'm sure you will say it's from a hacker since you insist it is already. What kind of proof is there of a hacker or is this something I just accept at your word? Your word has suffered a serious currency deflation. You've made no attempt to look at it, rejecting my offer by implying that I want to send you computer viruses. Don't come baring half-hearted apologies after your bully tactics fall flat.

:::Hi Sol, I do not believe you should feel sorry for "speaking on my behalf" during my ban. You never have. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=404141605 Here's what you said]. If you call it "speaking on my behalf", then of course everything else you said about me could be put where it belongs to. I let you to figure out the exact name of it. Please have a nice day.--[[User:Mbz1|Mbz1]] ([[User talk:Mbz1|talk]]) 19:35, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

== What happened? ==

Supreme Deliciousness earlier posted a query as to "what happened?", [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sol_Goldstone&curid=28299201&diff=416179614&oldid=416178662 urging Sol to come back]. While Supreme Deliciousness subsequently deleted his question, I imagine that it must be naturally be in the minds of others who come to this page.

What happened was that (if I understand correctly the comments at AN/I and on Jimbo's and other talkpages, and if they are accurate), a wikipedia editor's account was illegally hacked by a phisher, and then Sol (trying to hide behind a proxy) appears to have posted personal information from the target's hacked account publicly.

This involves allegations that are quite serious. Phishing in many Western countries leads to incarceration of malefactors for a number of years; though it is not clear to me which countries would have jurisdiction from the facts that have been shared. But anything further on that is outside the scope of wp chatter.

There is a cautionary tale here -- phishers pose as email providers to obtain passwords; we should all NOT agf when receiving any such requests. As to your urging, Sol has been blocked indefinitely, so it would not seem wise for him to return.--[[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] ([[User talk:Epeefleche|talk]]) 09:53, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

== Blocked ==

Yeah, so I saw what you did just there. Firstly, you posted emails from an account belonging to another editor on here (you know who). This was reported to Oversight for suppression as RL identities are involved, to say the least. You did this using a South-African proxy, now blocked. Sadly, though, it was not as anonymizing as it should have been and checkuser {{confirmed}} that this led directly back to you. I've blocked your account for a month for all that, and defer to the community for further action. If any admin wants to extend that block or whatev, I'm fine with that, too.

What annoys me the most is how cowardly this all was - [[User:Alison|<span style="color:#FF823D;font-family: comic sans ms">'''A<font color= "#FF7C0A">l<font color= "#FFB550">is</font>o</font>n'''</span>]] ^{[[User_talk:Alison|❤]]} 06:00, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

== Ban proposal ==

The developments concerning you at ANI are very grave, and IMO worth [[WP:BAN#Community bans and restrictions|community banning]] over. Therefore I have proposed to ban you from Wikipedia; see [[WP:ANI#Community ban on Sol Goldstone?]] for the ban discussion. --[[User:Dylan620|Dylan620]] ^{([[User talk:Dylan620|t]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dylan620|c]])} 00:30, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
