To improve clarity, revise sentence re. Partition Plan

[edit]

Current: ". . . [the UN] proposed a _partition plan_, for two independent Arab and Jewish states and an independent entity for Jerusalem, but. . . ."

Suggested revision: ". . . in 1947 [the UN] proposed that Palestine be partitioned (divided) into two independent states, one Arab and the other Jewish. The _partition plan_ specified that Jerusalem become an independent international city. But. . . ."

Note: _partition plan_ is an existing link, which I propose remain untouched. Avi (talk) 11:44, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds ok to me except it's not just Palestine but rather [Mandatory Palestine] 87.71.22.96 (talk) 20:02, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading citation

[edit]

The article states “there were instances where Muslims helped rescue Jews during the Holocaust” but there is no mention of that in the referenced article. This has also been marked as[failed verification] and [opinion]. Therefore, shouldn’t this sentence either be removed, or reference a correct source instead? Thanks. 2A00:23C7:3F2B:7900:AD68:62C:B439:AD77 (talk) 09:48, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,I heard that this article needs additional citations for verification. So I will help in this. Though, if you don't think I should edit the page then that's completely fine, I just want to help, I will obviously not do any bad edits just because the page is part of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

Philistia

[edit]

The Philistia aka Philistines had no relationship to the people now known as Palestinians and were not semitic people. 2A02:8012:8851:0:683A:AB30:EF3A:226B (talk) 10:19, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not according to RS. Slatersteven (talk) 11:10, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what RS means but Philistines were Aegean race of course that doesnt bode well with certain groups. 2A02:8012:8851:0:CDE9:E12C:F0FE:4A08 (talk) 08:02, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article renames

[edit]

If this article is to be renamed just "Palestine" can we start the process of renaming according articles from "State of Palestine" to "Palestine" too thanks Ecpiandy (talk) 03:07, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please edit the grammar here in the intro "Israel has constructed large settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since 1967, where currently more than 670,000 Israeli settlers, which are illegal under international law."

to something like "Israel has constructed large settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since 1967, which currently house more than 670,000 Israeli settlers, and which are illegal under international law." HungryBison (talk) 18:37, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a grammar issue. Slatersteven (talk) 18:39, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"where currently more than 670,000 Israeli settlers" what? Where they live? Where they play trombone? The sentence is not grammatically correct -- that is all I am asking to fix. HungryBison (talk) 18:44, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
LOL, but that is. Slatersteven (talk) 18:44, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just trying to fix a mistake where I saw one. :D Thanks for checking it. HungryBison (talk) 18:51, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, you added content. Slatersteven (talk) 18:53, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence is not grammatically correct as written. There is an implied verb
where currently more than 670,000 Israeli settlers reside
where currently more than 670,000 Israeli settlers live
where currently more than 670,000 Israeli settlers exist
I chose that the settlements "house" the settlers in my suggestion because I thought that was broad and neutral, but feel free to use whichever verb choice you like. HungryBison (talk) 18:59, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Sorry to ask for another change, but I think you have a typo in your fix, where you wrote the same part of the sentence twice.
"Israel has constructed large settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since 1967, which currently house more than 670,000 Israeli settlers, and which are illegal under international law, which are illegal under international law."
