[edit] Untitled

To many, Walid Khalidi is a caricature of the Oxford don that he once was: Articulate, erudite, and somewhat eccentric, which in America translates as "absent-minded." How many people have come up to me over the years to ask: "Can this man really be a Palestinian? He seems so British, so Oxonian, so aristocratic." My response is always: "Well, he is an Oxonian and he is aristocratic, and I can assure you that every day Walid Khalidi wakes up a Palestinian." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.180.136.229 (talk) 13:18, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] needs a criticism section

Khalidi needs a criticism section. Pro-israel historians always have one, so why not the anti-Israel ones?Tallicfan20 (talk) 02:24, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't know about "anti-Israeli" historians, but articles on pro-Palestinian ones do have criticism sections. This article just happens not to have one presently; if you have reliable criticism sources then by all means add a Criticism section. --Al Ameer son (talk) 03:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] More citations

Let's get some more citations for Khalidi's view of the solution to the conflict for some perspective and balance. Currently there's just one.Ismee (talk) 00:43, 21 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ismee (talkcontribs) 00:39, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

I think we need a direct quote from citation #3 about his position on the two-state solution for neutrality's sake. Currently, the text speaks on Khalidi's behalf, which is problematic. A direct quote would be better. Ismee (talk) 00:43, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
