Property Losses Estimate[edit]
The last sentence of the header reads: "According to Perry Anderson, it is estimated that half of the population in the Palestinian territories are refugees and that they have collectively suffered approximately US$300 billion in property losses due to Israeli confiscations, at 2008–09 prices."
However, the *total* national wealth of neighbouring Jordan (population >10M, greater than 2x the current population of the Gaza Strip + the West Bank) is $146 billion, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_wealth. Even if property in Israel is substantially more valuable per square foot (possible), Israel's total national wealth is only $1,046 billion or $1.05 trillion (same source), and Israel is an unusually stable/rich/technologically innovative country by Middle Eastern standards so the land in an independent Palestine has no guarantee to be as valuable as land in the state of Israel.
I submit that this sentence should be removed as not credible, or at least have some sort of qualification added to it providing context (such as the total wealth of neighbouring Jordan).

Mentions to Arabs cannot be called Palestinians because their genetics are not always the same. It's not honest. There are Palestinians who are Arabs and there are others who are of African and even Jewish origin (because they were forced to convert to Islam). It's important not to lie.

Change the subheading "costumes" under the section titled "culture" to "traditional clothing" Anusuyaps (talk) 20:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done I changed it to "traditional costumes", in line with the Palestinian traditional costumes article. M.Bitton (talk) 23:03, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Should Nakba be mentioned/summarised and linked to in the lede? Apologies for bumbling into controversial topics here Alexanderkowal (talk) 23:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- In my view, either this:
- Palestinians view the Nakba as a collective trauma that defines their national identity and political aspirations
- or this
- … termed the Nakba, which has greatly influenced Palestinian culture and is a core symbol of the current Palestinian national identity
- needs to be in the lede. Alexanderkowal (talk) 00:08, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- I think a combination of the two Alexanderkowal (talk) 00:10, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
