Fix false sentence in first paragraph.

- What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}): The sentence in the first paragraph beginning "The majority of Palestinian youths engaged in the practice appear to regard it as symbolic and non-violent, given the disparity in power and equipment between the Israeli forces and the Palestinian stone-throwers" should be changed to "Some Palestinian youths engaged in the practice appear to regard it as symbolic and non-violent, given the disparity in power and equipment between the Israeli forces and the Palestinian stone-throwers"
- Why it should be changed:
This statement is not supported by the source article. In fact, the source article says the opposite. It states "Some Palestinians, in contrast, see stone throwing as a symbolic act of resistance, practically nonviolent due to the disparity in force..." To claim that a "majority" of Palestinians feel a certain way is blatantly false when the article only says "some" Palestinians feel that way.

Done I changed majority to some and also removed the parts about youths engaged in the practice and seeing it as a method of deterrence, as none of this was mentioned in the source. Jamedeus (talk) 00:08, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

- What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):In the first paragraph, the sentence "The state of Israel considers has passed laws to sentence throwers convicted of the charge to up to 10 years imprisonment even without proof of intent to harm." should be changed to "The state of Israel has passed laws to sentence throwers who endanger the safety of someone inside a vehicle to up to 10 years imprisonment."
- Why it should be changed: The source publication doesn't support the original statement at all.

Not done: I found a citation confirming the existing claim in the Israeli law section. I replaced the citation in the lead since it was not relevant to this claim. Jamedeus (talk) 00:42, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Edit Request
[edit]The title of Palestinian rock-throwing could be a more suitable title for neutrality. "Stone-throwing" evokes religious stereotypes such as "stoning". Gamalny (talk) 19:43, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
