Do we need artices on all Mossad activists? What's his notability? Mikkalai 05:38, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Keep -- seems interesting to me. Wolfman 06:55, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Keep - looks like it could do with some cleanup though -- Zaphod Beeblebrox 07:56, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Keep. Agree with Wolfman & Zaphod Beeblebrox. ScribeOfTheNile 11:37, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)

Alright, let me be the one, then, to point out that the article is misnamed. Also, it needs clarification of context. How as there a "Mossad" before there was an Israel? Perhaps that's something Everyone Knows, but it seems contradictory to me. Furthermore, all this interest on the Mossad seems...well...iffy. So, rename to Tzmerth Shmarya, if that's his name. Clean up. Geogre 14:35, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
After looking into this for a bit, it appears that Mossad was initially organized in 1938 for the purpose of aiding illegal Jewish immigration [1]. I don't know if this organization was reorganized into Mossad as it is known today or if the name is just a coincidence. The article Tzmerth shmarya associates him with Yehuda Arazi and the Darien II (a ship), which appear to be real (lots of hits for Arazi; sole relevant hit for Aliya Bet Darien is [2]). This article seems meaningful and interesting, although it will benefit from cleanup, and references especially. Keep. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:59, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
