It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed lots of uncited statements, including lots of the "Views on Zionism" section. Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 01:20, 28 October 2025 (UTC) Reply

Edward W Said, was always a big fan of President Bill Clinton who he always spoke fondly of. Its so rare that someone can see both sides of a story. ~2026-39727-17 (talk) 13:13, 13 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
