I have committed an act of hubris that may cause my early retirement on Arab-Israeli conflict articles on Wikipedia. Before I go on, I must say a word about my victor, User:IRISZOOM. In my roughly eight years of editing, I had not come into contact with IRISZOOM very much, but in our brief encounters with him, I've found him to be someone respectful of Wikipedia guidelines and ruthless in his pursuit of editors he disagrees with, even slightly. This is what makes him a great editor, indeed, a greater editor than I when it comes to disagreement on talk pages; for I have the former quality, but not the latter.

In my eight years, I've made Wikipedia a less antisemitic, more intellectually honest place. I can go on and on about the animated discussions I've had, most of which I won, but instead, I'd rather discuss my major contributions I've made to articles:

• Before I got to it, much of the Causes of the 1948 Palestinian exodus article was a collection of anti-Israel half-truths cited only to a handful of sources. The article has been unstable for years, but its been much calmer in the past year or so. Its a great article.
• I've written and rewritten articles about Hezbollah dozens of times. Believe it or not, there are Hezbollah sympathizers out there who try to stop any material unsympathetic toward Hezbollah to appear on Wikipedia! Once Hezbollah began fighting for Assad's Syria, those people largely disappeared.
• Much of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict article was written by yours truly.
• Much of the Israel lobby in the United States article was written by yours truly.
• I proved that Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions was both unsuccessful and antisemitic.
• Much of the Arab League boycott of Israel article was written by yours truly.
• I've helped to prove that Hamas uses children and women as human shields.
• I've told and retold the story of the 1948 war on numerous Wikipedia articles.
• I defended Israel (where possible) and exposed Hezbollah in the Allegations of war crimes in the 2006 Lebanon War article and related articles.
• Much of the 2011 Jerusalem bus stop bombing article was written by yours truly.
• The Kiryat Gat article used to have a lot of anti-Israel hogwash in it. Now its a peaceful and respectable article.

Thank you and you're welcome.
