This still reads like an advertisement and contains an incredible amount of misinformation. For instance, "as of this writing, Algeria is home to only a handful of Jews, because of the Islamist governments of the 1990s" is an extremely loaded (and silly) statement when the overwhelming majority of Algerian Jews moved to France in the 50s and 60s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E34:EC05:37A0:C842:749C:7681:5C0C (talk) 06:56, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

JDC Marcom (talk · contribs) has written most of this article. [1] His username and his recent addition to other articles of external links to the JDC suggests he's associated with the organization.

I don't know whether the article is a copy-and-paste from the JDF website, but it reads like a fund-raising brochure, not an encyclopedia article. When I have the time, I'll try to cut down on the puffery. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 21:33, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since this warning was FIRST posted, many editors have worked to improve this important article. The "Joint" achieved many Jewish and other refugee rescues. Kacser (talk) 13:53, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since this was originally noted, many editors have added references. At this point in my opinion, the article is now adequately referenced.Kacser (talk) 13:55, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Under the "History" section of the end of the second paragraph there is an error with the format of the number. I'm not sure if the comma is incorrectly placed or if it there is an extra five for the amount of aid sent to Russia. Bedrockbob (talk) 20:30, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
