I believe there is overwhelming evidence that this user is not interested in 
any way of contributing NPOV content to wikipedia but instead vandalising 
articles.

==Examples==

* Inserting a picture of Ariol Sharon on the [[Penis]] page with the summary 
''INSERTING PIC OF UGLY DICK SHARON''

* Inserting a picture of Sharon the the [[Feces]] page with the summary 
''SHARON IS FECES''

* Inserting a picture of a penis on the [[Ariel Sharon]] page with the 
summary ''new pic looks more like him''

* replacing real headlines and texts in [[Israeli-Palestinian conflict]] 
with
=== ZIONIST TERROR===

The Zionists are the REAL terrorists.

''and''

The Zionist entity, which the Zionists call "Israel" so that everyone 
forgets their crimes against the Arab nation of Palestine, is the world's 
biggest terrorist. Like Nazi Germany and bin Laden, this terrorist must be 
destroyed so that Palestine can strech from the river to the sea.

He summarised his changes as ''This site is crawling with Zionists''

* In [[Intifada]] he replaced a paragraph with the following
''Both intifadas were originally characterized by civil disobedience by the 
[[Palestinians]], which escalated into the use of honorable  armed 
insurrection.  Many Palestinians, including women and children, were 
martyred due to the Nazi-fascist brutality of the Zionists.'' The summary he 
gave was ''This site is crawling with Zionists''.

* redirected [[Israel]] to <nowiki>[[Zionist Entity]]</nowiki>. I deleted 
the page and restored it to its proper location, but he reinstated it, 
leading to a second deletion.

I do not have any problem with a pro-Palestinian viewpoint on wiki. Indeed I 
have been called ''pro-Arab'' and ''anti-semite'' by RK for seeking to stop 
his blatent pro-Israeli propagandising of some pages. Personally I do 
believe that wiki represents the what outside the US is seen as America's 
''Israelophile'' sympathies. But it is crystal clear that this user is not 
trying to offer a balancing analysis of the Palestinian analysis of the 
Middle East problem. He is simply maliciously trying to vandalise articles. 
It is worth noting a similar user appeared on wiki some weeks ago 
propagandising articles supposedly from one viewpoint, yet whose 
contributions seemed nothing but vandalistic malicious nonsense, not a 
serious attempt at offering an alternative viewpoint. It might be worth 
someone checking this user's IP and comparing it to that user to see whether 
it is the same person. This user here clearly warrants a ban, not for his 
opinions but for his malicious vandalism of pages.

BTW 172 summed up this user's contributions with the following, which I 
concur with.

I can see that you're a mature and articulate advocate of your cause, laying 
out very convincing arguments involving poo poo and wee wees. 172 08:20, 4

Since I started this page, Pl wrote on the talk page

I will stop messing with pages without permission. I will stop making rules 
on my page. However, I still want to be able to have others sign the list 
I'm starting agreeing that Zionism is racism.

I agree Zionism = racism

* user Palestine liberator

After changes, that version was posted at 13:02, 4 Aug 2003. He then 
followed it up 8 minutes later, at
13:10, 4 Aug 2003 with

*  United States - some in the Palestinian movement and others regard 
America as a puppet of the Zionists.

So much for the promised neutrality and stopping messing. This guy is simply 
playing games.

I have already had to protect one page that he continually reverted over and 
over and over again. I and others have been continually reverting other 
pages. A ban is /urgently/ required.

A ban page is at [[User talk:Palestinian liberator/ban]]. Please express 
your viewers whether here on the list or there on the page. A decision is 
clearly needed quickly before the scale of vandalism gets out of hand.
