I'm convinced.  Palestinian liberator is to be banned.  Can someone
take care of this for me?

It might be helpful -- though it is hard to say -- if someone who
considers themselves generally or overwhelmingly pro-Palestinian but
NPOV could write to this person explaining NPOV and what not, and
explaining that contributions like that are just going to be deleted,
and that a more effective way to help the cause is to contribute
materials that is simple and factual and uncontroversial.

One of the advantages of NPOV is that all of us believe fervently that
everyone would agree with us if only they had all the facts.  So no
matter what your POV, if you *really* believe in it, you will agree
that simply laying out the facts, warts and all, will be sufficient to
convince.
