Intercommunal violence and NPOV
[edit]The section titled Palestinian attacks only discusses attacks by Palestinians on Israeli settlers and does not make any mention of violence towards Palestinians by settlers (whether retributive or otherwise), nor does the section discuss any violence towards Palestinians from the IDF.
Ilan Pappe's Ten Myths About Israel includes the following when talking about Israeli settlement in Gaza (p159 of 212 in Verso's epub edition; locations 2122–2129 of 3227):
One solution was to divide the Strip into a Jewish area, with direct access to Israel, and a Palestinian area. This worked well until the outbreak of the Second Intifada. The road connecting the settlements’ sprawl, the Gush Qatif block as it was called, was an easy target for the uprising. The vulnerability of the settlers was exposed in full. During this conflict the Israeli army tactics included massive bombardments and destruction of rebellious Palestinian pockets, which in April 2002 led to the massacre of innocent Palestinians in the Jenin refugee camp. These tactics were not easily implemented in the dense Gaza Strip due to the presence of the Jewish settlers. It was not surprising, then, that a year after the most brutal military assault on the West Bank, operation “Defensive Shield,” Sharon contemplated the removal of the Gaza settlers so as to facilitate a retaliation policy.
In addition, the section goes into substantial detail about the individuals killed by Palestinian violence during the Second Intifada — perhaps more detail than is necessary and encyclopædic, especially given the lack of any mention of violence wrought on Palestinians by settlers and the IDF.
There is also very little mention of the effect on the Palestinian population of the Gush Katif settlements, beyond that they provided employment for some Palestinians in the greenhouses.
If anyone can expand the article in these regards, that would definitely help counter the impression that this article does a more comprehensive job of representing the Israeli settlers' perspective than it does of informing readers more widely. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 00:29, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
- Literally no evidence was given by you for the alleged violence directed by the Palestinians. Ilan Pappe isn't a credible or objective source, he uses the debunked lie of "Jenin massacre" during the intifada (where most of the killed were militants), and the most important part - 0 examples were given, not even a single incident. 46.31.101.26 (talk) 18:43, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
