Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 3 October 2021

There is no such thing as the state of Palestinian. The west bank is the correct way to say that.

This is not political message but a real geography matter.

Please change

I want to add new population pyramid from United Nations Yearbook - Census 1 XII 2017.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:22, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Population Information

Source #10 is incorrectly used The source itself states in the conclusion that it is not the definitive answer. It also claims that there is no legal basis for claiming it was annexed, but the 1970's supreme court ruled that it was annexed per the source in the Jerusalem Law wikipage source 7 Law and History Review

I recommend Jerusalem be removed from the State of Palestine demographics as it clearly isn't part of Palestine

Similarly few Arabs residing in Israel consider themselves Palestinian, and should also not be counted as part of the State Of Palestine demographics and should also be removed.Factchecker170 (talk) 20:41, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with your map

The map features the state of Israel. Not Palestine which is not recognise. 84.229.138.95 (talk) 08:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1950- glosses over the nakba

The fact the page lists statistics only from 1950 onwards glosses over the nakba. I get that 1950 is an easy year to standardise from but it's a really bad choice here. On the page for earlier history it lists population in 1948 as almost 2mil. I shouldn't have had to go hunting for that figure, it should be here. Otherwise looks like trying to hide a genocide. 193.119.100.30 (talk) 14:11, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To call the nakba a genocide is framing at least. A violent displacement and a catastrophe for the people affected would be more accurate. As always under such circumstances there were certainly crimes and even murders committed, but not genocide. Genocide by its very definition means primarily killing the people affiliated to a nation with the intent to obliterate that nation, like in many instances native people in North America, Africa or Australia, the Jews in Europe and the Armenians in Turkey. 92.217.137.209 (talk) 07:54, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
