In the part about years 1947-1948 and the partition plan, this article fails to mention that the partition plan was agreed by the Israeli side, and declined by the arab side. It also states that a civil war had started, without mentioning that 6 Arab countries joined the attack on 1948 (started as a civil war, and became a war between countries). 38.87.93.153 (talk) 07:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Currently it says in part In 1947, the UN adopted a partition plan for a two-state solution in the remaining territory of the mandate. The plan was accepted by the Jewish leadership but rejected by the Arab leaders, and Britain refused to implement the plan. Am I missing something? I believe this is accurate and verifiable, but it's not currently supported by any inline sources, and should be. Andrewa (talk) 06:57, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
Under the ethnic groups category, "Palestinian Arabs" is listed as the only ethnic group. However, there are many ethnic groups, including Armenians and Syriac Palestinians. I think that having this category is not useful. However, if it is going to be on the page, it should include more of the ethnicities in Palestine.
