Exclusion of women in Israel

Merge and redirect to Women in Israel because this is a gross example of a WP:POVFORK and violation of WP:CONTENTFORKING, while the word "Exclusion" is clearly judgmental as well as provocative and an obvious attempt at POV-pushing and hence a violation of WP:NPOV and of WP:NOTSOAPBOX that reveals an almost exclusive obsession and focus on the attitudes of Orthodox Jews. Much of this material as well as the Hebrew "citations" are from the Hebrew WP where this is a hot social issue but does not have the same dramatic interest for outsiders as it does for Israelis caught up in this drama.

Merge and redirect to Women in Israel per above. There are no similar articles, rather, there is Women in India (but not Exclusion of women in India); Women in Iran (but not Exclusion of women in Iran); Women in Nigeria (but not Exclusion of women in Nigeria) etc etc etc. IZAK (talk) 23:47, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Women in Israel per above. This is also a current events issue and maybe when the dust has settled, there will be reason for this article but not now. Joe407 (talk) 00:52, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect per foregoing. Not happy with much of the contents, but that can be resolved as part of the merge process - no need to delete outright. --Legis (talk - contribs) 01:08, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect Much of what this article covers belongs in the article for Women in Judaism. While some of the issues apply across the board, the article as it stands ignores many comparable situations regarding Muslim, Druze and Christian women living in Israel. While examples are provided of women being excluded from some roles in the Israeli military, the article continues to describe an increasing range of military roles being made available to women, including in pilot training and many other area where women had not previously been accepted. While women are still not yet eligible to serve in some military capacities, the scope and breadth of female participation in the IDF far surpasses that available to women in the U.S. armed forces, yet there is no Exclusion of women in the United States. What's left doesn't leave much of an article to support the systematic exclusion or women in Israel that the article seems to be describing. Alansohn (talk) 04:29, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Women in Israel (don't only redirect - ie. content should definitely be kept, but neither article is so long at present that there needs to be a fork). The article already has sections on gender segregation and on women in the military which could easily integrate all of this content. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 02:24, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
