Edit request 31 May 2025 - new section human rights situation

[edit]

Description of suggested change: The page is missing a Human rights situation section. It is already widely described how human rights are restricted by Israel, but not how they are also disregarded by the Palestinian authorities themselves. However, according to several independent organizations, human rights (like freedom of speech, religion, gender equality and LGBTQI rights) are severely restricted by both Hamas and Fatah. This should be mentioned, as it is in other country articles as well. TheGlobetrotter (talk) 22:47, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TheGlobetrotter, I wholeheartedly agree! Find good sources, write a text, ping me (simply copy my username) and if it all checks out, I'll add that text for you. Lova Falk (talk) 12:10, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You will need to provide sources. Slatersteven (talk) 12:12, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is redundant. We already have an article on Human rights in Palestine, and the Palestinian authorities have been described as an authoritarian regime by The Economist Democracy Index. In 2024, Palestine was ranked as the 112th most democratic state in the index, a bit more liberal than the likes of Rwanda, Jordan, and Ethiopia. Dimadick (talk) 12:32, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clue, @Dimadick:! Unfortunately, this article is currently not linked in the main page. Maybe, someone could add that (possibly, with just one summarizing sentence)? TheGlobetrotter (talk)
Done. Slatersteven (talk) 13:50, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Gaza coloring in map

[edit]

The map at the top of this article should have Gaza in light green since the caption says dark green is only for areas controlled by the Palestinian National Authority. Spoonberry (talk) 17:29, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

it does show those areas in dark green. Slatersteven (talk) 17:31, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
yes but I just said they should be in light green^ Spoonberry (talk) 17:33, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
not "they" plural, i just mean the Gaza strip should be changed to light green (Hamas/Israel-controlled). The West Bank coloring seems accurate to Area C (light green - Israel-controlled) vs Area A,B (dark green - mostly PA control). Spoonberry (talk) 17:35, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sabbateans

[edit]

In the infobox is written, that Sabbateans are Islamic schismatics, but Sabbateans were originally a Jewish messianic movement, not an Islamic schismatic group. Dr. Ivan Kučera (talk) 07:12, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe teh were. But the RS seems to say they are now Muslim. Slatersteven (talk) 11:28, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it's more complicated than that, if you look at Sabbateans and Dönmeh. They were and are crypto-Jews; calling them Islamic schismatics needs a heck of a lot more explanation. The Dönmeh sure have an interesting history. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 15:45, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As this is the infobox, that is not the place for complex issues. Slatersteven (talk) 15:48, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move request and RfC

[edit]

There is a move request and a related related RfC at the Besor Stream article that could do with more input. Thanks. M.Bitton (talk) 15:51, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
