Talk:Israel–Hamas war protests: Difference between revisions
Huh, it appears a lot has changed since 2 weeks. The troublesome biased edits appears to be removed now. In that case, my edit request may not seem to make sense anymore and could be ignored. |

Separate article on Ceasefire movement
Should there be a separate article specifically covering calls for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza? None of the articles in Category:Reactions to the Israel–Hamas war seem to cover the topic in depth. Proposing it here first because I don't have much experience editing in this particular area and don't want to make an article that the community has already decided shouldn't exist. Have there been any previous discussions on this? The Midnite Wolf (talk) 23:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

For Colombia University protests. It currently present it as if the entire protest is anti-Semitic and calling for bloodshed of Israelis and nothing more to it. That's not really accurate and a terrible overgeneralization.
I ask to add in a statement from organisers of the protest that denounced all messages of hate and it doesn't represent them, and that also they are explicitly protesting for the university's divestment from Israel.
In North America chapter, then United States subchapter, and after the second last paragraph, add in this edit;
The organizers of the campus protest, including Columbia University Apartheid Divest and Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine, have emphasized their commitment to a peaceful protest and explicitly disassociated themselves from non-student protesters outside the campus, who they denounced as "inflammatory individuals" who do not align with their political message. The organizers further stated they reject all messages of hate and bigotry, and that they have solidarity with a diverse coalition of students representing various backgrounds, including Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, Jewish, Black, and pro-Palestinian individuals.[1] Furthermore, their stated explicit goal is to conduct peaceful protests and occupy the campus lawn until their university divest its endowments from companies linked to Israel.[2][3][4]49.181.129.196 (talk) 22:50, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

- Update; I haven't followed the article constantly. I just read it now and it appears that someone else completely deleted the biased text. So I suppose my edit request would seem out of place as of 17th May. However after reading the whole chapter, I noticed that someone deleted All information about Colombia University protests. I don't know if that's a good thing but I think such a topic is definitely relevant and important especially when it helped jumpstart a movement of student protesters occupying universities globally to protest against Israel. 49.195.14.46 (talk) 11:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
Protest goals
I wouldn't mind if demands for the destruction of Israel are included with source. However, some of the references used do not abide with general consensus on reliability, which should be the important standard in contentious topics such as these. I advise involved editors to settle these problems here before reverting anything. Borgenland (talk) 08:40, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- The majority of the "destruction of israel" sources are hung up on the "From the River to the sea" chant which has a different meaning depending on who you ask. Wikipedia itself says "Many Palestinian activists have called it "a call for peace and equality" after decades of Israeli military rule over Palestinians while for Jews it has been "a clear demand for Israel’s destruction."
- So I find an issue with @RAMSES$44932 cherry picking every instance this is used by a protester with no context to what their beliefs are to say its a call for the destruction of Israel. PaulRKil (talk) 17:06, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- And what about "destroy the settler-Zionist state"? And what about "From the river to the Sea, PALESTINE IS ARAB"? All of them are mentioned in the articles RAMSES$44932 (talk) 17:15, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Couldn't find that variant of the statement but "From the river to the sea, Palestine is Arab" doesn't deviate too far from "Palestine will be free." In fact, no source states explicitly that protestors called for the destruction of Israel. The only time destruction is mentioned in these articles are when the articles accuse the "From the River to the Sea" of calling for the destruction of Israel or them re-iterating that the IDF's goal is to destroy Hamas. The only thing I found was protestors carrying a sign that says "Death to Israel" in the rally that al Sadr lead in Iraq which is not enough to frame an entire protest movement as having the same goal. PaulRKil (talk) 17:37, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- "From the River to the Sea" has also become less and less common at these events. I've heard most recently "up up with liberation, down down with the occupation" and since no one is keeping official record I wouldn't be surprised if "(Free,) Free Palestine" was always the most popular slogan and only ever eclipsed by "From the River to the Sea" locally in spurts. Jester6482 (talk) 01:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- And what about "destroy the settler-Zionist state"? And what about "From the river to the Sea, PALESTINE IS ARAB"? All of them are mentioned in the articles RAMSES$44932 (talk) 17:15, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
Remove Palestinian death toll from this article (Synopsis)
Obviously, the death toll is significant and ever-growing, and an important motivator for the protests. But as this is an ongoing dataset, to put it clinically, there would need to be consistent edits made to the article to keep that statistic up to date. As of May 1st, the death toll cited in Israel–Hamas war is 34,596. Meanwhile, this article shows the death toll as merely having "exceeded 30,000", which of course isn't incorrect, but I don't necessarily see the point in having to keep track of the same statistic on two (or potentially more) pages when the stat is constantly changing. Blackjackrobo (talk) 01:59, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- I would disagree since RS reporting on the protests have always highlighted that the casualty figures were the driving force for the protests. Makeandtoss (talk) 12:54, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- I take your point. Honestly, I don't really mind it either way anymore. Not sure exactly how to "close" a discussion, but in any case I'm happy to withdraw my original suggestion. Blackjackrobo (talk) 23:22, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Global Day of Action, global day of action or "global day of action"?
Currently, it's the latter. I think either of the "non-quoted" options would sound less "fake". What say you? InedibleHulk (talk) 17:40, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Personally, I prefer it in quotes, as it seems to the title of a specific thing. See Global Day of Action on how the term seems to be more commonly used for climate protests, although I have anecdotally also heard it being applied to protests currently. Don't have any sources to prove it ATM. I would be open to changing my mind if there was another mention of a global day of action higher up in the article, prior to the Jakarta protest, to explain what it even is, with RSes corroborating that the protests on the same day were indeed part of the global day of action. As it stands now, without an introduction on what the global day of action was, the 8 references to it throughout the article (not including the 13 Jan protests in Johannesburg, whose mention in this article does not include "as part of a global day of action", but does mention the same date (13 January 2024)) seem jarring, with or without quotation marks.Blackjackrobo (talk) 06:58, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
