"plot to bomb London in protest"
-sounds mildly understated... revisionist POV pushers in action...
But the references cited for this state this line to have gone back to the 11th century. Impressive either way, and deserving of further detail, but they can't both be right. 73 generations in 900 years would assume an average generation as 12 years 4 months. 2A02:C7D:2E31:400:51D5:4887:B6B9:3FA8 ( talk) 18:35, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
They are two different references - his line went back through 73 generations of rabbis, through Rashi in the 11th Century and also beyond that to King David. No contradiciton. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.139.150.102 ( talk) 09:45, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

There are users on this site who fail to acknowledge that Baruch was a member of a terrorist organization and had led a group in 1947 in a bombing attempt which was thwarted and was promptly arrested for. This for anyone still confused is the dictionary definition of terrorism. Any further reversion to my edits will be reported as vandalism.
Thank you

The plot to bomb London in 1947 is currently listed under his contributions. If you had read the page before proceeding to engage in an edit war without understanding you would have known that. I plan on restructuring the page to separate the 1947 bombing plot from his contributions under a section labelled 1947 London Bombing Plot. The addition will include what already was in the contributions section but will also add the newspaper image from 1947 that shows in no unclear terms that he was arrested for the plot in question.

So is a plot to bomb London going to be considered a contribution and not an act of terrorism? Trying to achieve this so called consesus here.
Any dissent? Somali Strawhat ( talk) 02:42, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Yes. I was pretty sure that the plot was to bomb London only with LEAFLETS, not actual bombs, and that's why the French finally released him. There was no connection at all with any real bombs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:3005:7FE:A000:2C1D:1149:2527:A587 ( talk) 11:42, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
