Military of Algeria Options

[The Joy]

I was looking at Military of Algeria (T-H-L-K-D) and found two statements that Algeria and other "Arab" states were and still are in a state of war with Israel. The article even alleged that Algeria returned several Mig-29s back to Russia because of Israeli parts in the Migs. I read the citations for those statements and none of the sources discussed Israel. From what I gathered, Algeria was upset about the shoddy work on the Migs, not because of foreign parts. I do not know about Israel-Algeria relations, but I know a state of war does not exist between the two.

What would anyone have to gain by claiming that Algeria is hostile and a threat to Israel?

I cannot help but get a "anti-Israel = anti-semiticism" vibe from the article.

where do you get this vibe from?

is israel in a formal state of war with algeria? dont think so, algeria - like most arab states - dont recognize israel, but that doesnt constitute a formal state of war. only countries i can think of at the top of my head are lebanon, syria, saudi arabia, and iran? i think, maybe more or less.

israel gov. defines nations as "enemy states" so whether this is a technical state of war i dont know.

other than that it appears algeria did in fact cancel a defense contract because of israel involvement.

how can someone inflate this as some way to demonize algeria? love tarc's ranting.

From people like you? This mindset has been part and parcel of your Wikipedia editing history, though all your accounts.

Maybe this isn't as germane as I suspect, but Wikifan's habit of appearing on every thread that has even the slightest bearing on the state of good ol' Israel strikes me as illustrative of the problem. Though to be fair, that probably applies to Malik as well.

A fella might be excused for wondering it either of you two have opinions on anything else.

I've got opinions about lots of things, but I mostly like to set mbz1 straight.

There was a user on Wikipedia. This user (Lanternix) is a Coptic Arab, who lives in Alexandria, Egypt.

I don't know how to break the news to you, mbz, but Copts aren't Arabs.

Well, different scholars have a different opinion on this subject

While some non-Coptic authors claim that Copts in Egypt have an Arab identity while Copts in the West tend to identify as "non-Arab",[15][16] other non-Coptic scholars disagree, stating that "Copts are not Arabs" and that they predate the Arabs' arrival to Egypt .

I was going to ask a friend about this but there is never a Copt around when you need one.
