Errors in article
[edit]considering the IDF being more lenient with the Christians, I would say it isn't true. My village fully Christian and in the Galilee was massacred and expelled. Massacre of Ilabun 185.53.41.59 (talk) 00:24, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- Is there any evidence of this? I don’t mean to be rude, but it’s Wikipedia in the time of sustained information warfare.. anyone can say anything, so without additional context your comment looks like propaganda. 49.185.179.55 (talk) 09:07, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- See Eilabun massacre. Both of you need to read WP:ARBECR. There is a difference between these comments. 185.53.41.59 has made what amounts to an edit request presumably referring to the statement "More lenience was applied to the Christians of the Galilee" in this Palestinian Christians article. You, 49.185.179.55, have commented on it. This is not allowed by the remedies. You can make a different edit request but you can't join this one. Only extendedconfirmed editors can respond.

Edward Said should be added to the list of notable Palestinian Christians
[edit](1935-2003) Edward Wadie Said was a Palestinian American academic of Christian Palestinian descent. He was a founder of post-colonial studies and a professor of literature at Columbia University. Born in Jerusalem, Said’s memoir ‘Out of Place’ reveals how his early life influenced his books ‘Orientalism’ and ‘Culture and Imperialism’. 7atar (talk) 16:39, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Arab tribes
[edit]@Evaporation123: Thanks for the useful additions. I think now however there is an implication that Palestinian Arab Christians are only Arabized culturally and linguistically, without regard to the Arab lineage of many Palestinian families including from Ghassanids for example. Makeandtoss (talk) 08:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I made an edit mentioning the Ghassanids just now in the early history section. Evaporation123 (talk) 18:07, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Also keep in mind, most Palestinians in general ultimately do not have ancestry from the Arabian peninsula. See Origin of the Palestinians. Evaporation123 (talk) 18:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Allegation falsely stated as fact
[edit]This section falsely presents as fact the allegation that IDF snipers killed the two Catholic women: "Since the start of the ongoing Israel–Hamas war in October 2023, there have been several incidents involving Palestinian Christians in the Gaza Strip, most notably the Church of Saint Porphyrius airstrike and the killing of two Catholic women by an Israeli sniper in the Holy Family Parish in northern Gaza."
In reality this is contested, which is notable since the IDF frequently admits when it mistakenly kills civilians. See https://www.foxnews.com/world/idf-rebuffs-accusations-killed-two-women-church-gaza-investigation-continues.

Additional information regading christian population
[edit]can we add some additional information from 2022 regarding the Christian population in Palestine?
"According to various estimates, 50,000 Christian Palestinians reside in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and according to media reports and religious communities, there are approximately 1,300 Christians residing in Gaza. Local Christian leaders state Palestinian Christian emigration has continued at rapid rates." from:
