@Huldra: The book has some serious credibility issues. It makes colorful and questionable claims about Mossad spying on the U.S. in connection with the Monica Lewinsky scandal (see: [1]) (pp. 100-105), the Lockerbie bombing (p. 316), the death of Princess Diana (p. 11), and other such subjects. See for example:

- Ok, thanks User:GeneralizationsAreBad for those sources. But some of that should go into the Gideon's Spies, and possibly the Gordon Thomas (author) article first, no? The problem with Gideon's Spies article is that the only review is by Daniel Pipes, and he isn't really counted as a RS in the IP area. As for Mossad, have you read Rise and Kill First? I believe it is generally considered reliable. Lots of those "outlandish stories" were confirmed,
- However, I don't feel strongly about this, except that if we remove it here, then Gideon's Spies, and possibly the Gordon Thomas (author) articles should also be expanded: if you do that, feel free to remove it again! Cheers, Huldra (talk) 20:58, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Huldra: Yes, the book's own article could perhaps incorporate some of this. Regarding Mossad, Rise and Kill First is on my reading list and I understand that there are plenty of wild and true stories (a couple of particularly interesting ones: [2][3]). But much of the criticism of this particular book revolves around two issues: 1) Thomas makes errors regarding even the well-documented cases and 2) Thomas relates some dubious "scoops". We could even use RaKF to replace Thomas where necessary, or find some other sources to corroborate whatever content was from Thomas. Thank you for your suggestions.

- Well, User:GeneralizationsAreBad I thought the "toothpaste murder" was pretty "far out" (and right in line with IIBR work, incidentally) (see Wadie Haddad). The poison in the Khaled Mashal#1997 assassination attempt probably also came from them.
- Also, some of those reviews might not be correct. In the The Jewish Chronicle Ahron Bregman makes a lot of not mentioning Ashraf Marwan, but I think the "jury is still out" in that case. Some (like As'ad AbuKhalil) say that Marwan never had an important political role, ie, he never knew any sensitive secrets. Others say he was a double agent, etc, etc. The case there is anything but clear. And even RaKF have its mistakes, I have mention one on its talk page, Huldra (talk) 21:36, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
