Hamas views

The section on the Hamas views is completely wrong. Although the original Hamas "charter" of 1988 was strongly anti-Israel, by 2006, Hamas had accepted the existence of Israel on the 1967 lines in the "Prisoners' Document." This was reiterated by both Mishal and Sinwar in interviews. This was re-affirmed in the 2017 charter, as well as the proclamation of the October 7 2023 attacks.

The claim that "during the 1990s and 2000s the PLO leadership has stated that it considered any peace with Israel was to be temporary until the dream of Israel's destruction could be realized." needs to be backed up with specific citations and quotes. Mcdruid (talk) 23:06, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was wrong. Hamas has actually proposed accepting an Israeli State on the 1967 lines since 1996:

Hamas would be willing to consider a cease-fire agreement with the Israelis if they agree to end their occupation of all the territories occupied in the aftermath of the six-day war in 1967. This would entail the cessation of all hostilities on the part of Hamas in exchange for the following concessions on the part of Israel:

the withdrawal of Israeli occupation troops from the West Bank and Gaza Strip;
the evacuation of all Jewish settlements illegally erected and populated by Jewish immigrants on Palestinian lands seized by force in both the West Bank and Gaza;
the release of all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention;
the recognition of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination

– This is What We Struggle For: Hamas response to an EU request.

However, widespread anti-Semitic sentiments in Palestinian society and Palestinian militancy have hindered the peace process.

The phrase "However, widespread anti-Semitic sentiments in Palestinian society and Palestinian militancy have hindered the peace process." reflects a non-consensual viewpoint based on two opinion articles that cannot be considered reliable sources. According to Wikipedia guidelines, opinion articles should rarely be used for statements of fact - WP:RSEDITORIAL:

It presents a biased and one-sided perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflic which contradicts WP: NPOV, especially in the lead section: "the emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources.".

This phrase should be completely erased. Lucasdmca (talk) 03:36, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the section titled "Yasser Arafat and the PLO", where "the Jewish character of the State of Israel" is referenced (second to last sentence), I am requesting that the wording of "the Jewish character" be "wikilinked" to the article on Jewish and democratic state.

Remove: However, widespread anti-Semitic sentiments in Palestinian society and Palestinian militancy have hindered the peace process.[3][4]

I think this should be removed as it provides a subjective, not objective or substantiated point. The sources provided are opinion pieces,not factual investigative reportage. It paints any animosity Palestinans might feel toward Israelis as anti semetism when it could be attibuted reasonably to the occupation. The statement is a dangerously presumptuous statement that states as fact Palestinians are anti semetic and it is one used by Israel to support its state sanctioned violence against the people. Please ask the editor to remove this as they did not offer proof of this inflammatory statement, it is just an opinion and it is a harmful sterotype used to support military action against innocent civilians.

NPOV

this article has issues with NPOV in that it relies heavily on pro-Israeli sources and promotes the Israeli POV. it needs more representation of other points of view. Rainsage (talk) 09:53, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
