Palestinians in Egypt

Hello, I've noticed this article does not discuss the palestinians that went to Egypt after 1948 even though there is a large number of them Dana Saber (talk) 19:46, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good question I was about to ask the same thing. Also not mentioned is that every arab country that accepted palestinian refugees after 1948 have had their governments attacked by the refugees. The Black September was an armed conflict in Jordan in the early 70's that involved a violent government takeover attempt by the palestinian refugees. Similar events happened in every arab country that accepted palestinian refugees. Dionyseus (talk) 14:29, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So which similar event happened in Egypt? Zero^talk 00:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The claim about Benny Morris is incorrect and footnote 32 supporting this position is taken out of context.

The line currently reads, According to historian Benny Morris, the expulsion was planned and encouraged by the Zionist leadership.[32]

However it should read: According to historian Benny Morris, expulsion was encouraged by some Zionist leaders during parts of the 1948 war, although it was never established policy.[32]

Is "citizen" the right word in the first sentence?

Did the british mandate even have a concept of a citizen of mandate palestine? DMH223344 (talk) 18:24, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, see Palestinian Citizenship Order 1925. But the word is not properly used in the first sentence. Actually the UNRWA definition specifies persons habitually resident in Palestine for two years, rather than citizens. This made the biggest difference for Jews, who by and large were not Palestinian citizens. Jews were later excluded on Israel's request. Zero^talk 14:11, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Displaced Palestinian Jews" ???

In the third paragraph, the author writes about "displaced Palestinian Jews". I don't think there is such a thing... What are they? Who are they? Are there any sources confirming their existence? OrF8 (talk) 09:20, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added a link to Palestinian Jews. Sean.hoyland (talk) 10:15, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My question is not about Palestinian Jews, but about "Displaced Palestinian Jews". There is a major difference OrF8 (talk) 10:46, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In that case you can read through WP:ARBECR and WP:EDITXY. Editors without the extended confirmed privilege like yourself are only entitled to submit edit requests. If you would like to submit an edit request, do that. Sean.hoyland (talk) 12:30, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do I submit an edit request? OrF8 (talk) 12:46, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Edit_requests#Making_requests. You can use Wikipedia:Edit_Request_Wizard, or you can just write the request here, but it's best to follow guidelines in WP:EDITXY. Following that guideline gives the edit request the best chance of being accepted by an extended confirmed editor i.e. the request should be Specific, Uncontroversial, Necessary, Sensible.

Thanks! OrF8 (talk) 13:18, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
