Hamas is a terrorist group[edit]

There is no mention in the page that Hamas is a recognised terrorist group. Please fix this to differentiate between Hamas and Palestine. 193.117.171.222 (talk) 13:03, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. Make edits don't demand others do them, that is incredibly rude and this principle, of DIY, is an important thing you must learn in life.

'Terrorist' is a political term and we should not use it. You can say 'Hamas is designated a Terrorist organization by The US and Israel [and etc]'. I do not see how that is related to the article however. SP00KYtalk 23:15, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Organization that kills women and children at their homes is a terrorist organization. This is a fact, not a political statement. 109.253.171.150 (talk) 18:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, it's related to the article. Drsruli (talk) 03:45, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Name Hamdan/Hamadan[edit]

The name Hamadan has been turning up often in the media in relation recently (examples: 8Oct, 14Nov, 17Nov. I felt it was important to mention for anyone who wishes to work on this article although I am not sure still if it is a common enough spelling to actually put in the lead or page. SP00KYtalk 23:26, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Probably ok to list as an alternate name. FunkMonk (talk) 08:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, that would be Saleh al Arouri. FunkMonk (talk) 21:44, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

nope, but that would have been great ... 109.253.171.150 (talk) 18:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
