If a page is vandalized, follow regular procedure (see WP:VANDAL, WP:AIV). Please be vigilant to keep Israel fairly represented. There is a large anti-Israel sentiment in the world. Do not be biased towards Israel, simply state facts. However, protect pages against other biases.
Advice on NPOV
I find that Wikipedians are a largely moderate bunch trying to find and publicize truth. However, there are some bad apples in every bunch who are trying to disseminate disinformation about Israel on talk pages and within articles. Rather than stand idlely by or commit the same straw man or ad hominemlogical fallacies committed by the people who are abusing this website, I prefer systematically debunking disinformation, as do Alan M. Dershowitz's The Case for Israel and Mitchell G. Bard's Myths and Facts.
One way that fair-minded Wikipedians could help is by not getting emotionally involved in an argument with an anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, or anti-verifiability Wikipedian. Remember that most of these people are just ignorant beyond reason and that you must not stoop to their level. As calmly as you can, dissect their accusations without resorting to their straw man and ad hominem tactics. Remember that the truth is its own defense. Lastly, remember that not all criticisms of Israeli policy are anti-Semitic or necessarily wrong. Have enough courage to treat a true claim with respect, even if you do not agree with the claimer's conclusion. And keep informed on Israel and read about her history. --GHcool04:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jeffpw feel free to check my edit history for Israel/anti-Semitism related contributions.
Valley2City (talk· contribs) - hmm... I don't know why my name is not on this list. I thought I joined a number of times. I am definitely a defender of Israel, and when discussions get heated, I remain as civil as possible. I also have a lot of good photographs of things in Israel which I have added and can add to article galleries.
Timeshifter (talk· contribs) I am also joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Palestine. Wikipedia is NPOV. A 2-state solution seems like the only way for now. At least until freedom of religion truly takes hold in the Middle East.
Saranghae honey (talk· contribs) I will be working here and also expanding Israel-related articles in the Korean Wikipedia
