Should the lead of the article mention that some of the political violence has been considered terrorism? Dovidroth (talk) 10:14, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
some of which are considered acts of terror, so this is an RFC to mandate what is already in effect. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:42, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Should the lead begin Palestinian political violence including Palestinian terrorism?Dovidroth (talk) 13:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
some of which are considered acts of terror, the second paragraph has
Several of these groups are considered terrorist organizations. But the political violence includes both terrorism and attacks on government and military targets. Terrorism is a subset, not the equivalent, of political violence, and the proposed changes attempts to equate the two. We also shouldnt say
Palestinian political violence including violent resistanceeither. And as far as scholar, "Palestinian resistance" 14k. nableezy - 16:40, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the statement Some perpetrators of these acts support the dismantling of the State of Israel and its replacement with a Palestinian Arab state
removed? This was the explicit goal of the PLO and Hamas in the past, and in case of Hamas many scholars believe this is still the case. It was indeed an example of WP:OVERCITE and not all references were relevant but the statement itself is hardly controversial. Alaexis¿question? 08:37, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
in the pastand Hamas currently says (and have indicated similarly in the past, could be true, who knows) that they will settle for a two state solution on 67 borders. So presenting it as a current true statement without any qualification seems POV.
"This was the explicit goal of the PLO"
DMH223344 (talk) 22:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]Even before Arafat came to power, the PLO was primarily secular, had sought to separate religion from politics, and had called for the creation in Palestine of a democratic and secular state. Indeed, many PLO leaders specifically denounced anti-Semitism and emphasized their intention to accept Jews as equal citizens in a new Palestine.
I've tried to come up with a compromise. If we consider the 3 most powerful Palestinian factions (Fatah/PLO/PNA, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad), one of them had the destruction of Israel as its goal prior to the Oslo agreements and one (PIJ) clearly still has it as the goal. Regarding Hamas, different observers have different opinions, but many of them think that the whole of the Mandate Palestine remains the long-term goal (see the Atlantic article linked here and more scholarly sources in the Hamas article). Considering that this discussion is about the lede, I think that "Some factions have called for the destruction of Israel" is a fair summary of the situation.
