Add-Anti Judaism as a category for this article. His book Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years is a quintessential example of Anti-Judaism Zifrs69 (talk) 21:49, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Apologies RolandR, I should've checked the archives first; the last discussion of this section was a decade ago. The size of this section feels rather WP:UNDUE. It's currently at 823 words while his Biography section is 730 words long. Is this one controversy really more important than the rest of his biography? Having a whole paragraph of quotes from Boteach, who isn't exactly a scholarly figure, doesn't really add anything already in this section. It would be fine to state that figures such as Jakobovits, Falk, Boteach, etc. have disputed the veracity of Shahak's story, but all the quotes feel unnecessary. Also more of a formatting thing than a content thing, but it's strange that there's a subsection titled "The history book" followed directly by a section on that book titled "Jewish History, Jewish Religion". मल्ल (talk) 20:21, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
