RM of interest

There is currently a proposal to move "Zio (pejorative)" to "Zionist as a pejorative". It may be of interest.VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 05:18, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Include a sentence explaining why anti-Zionism is considered antisemtisim

Change: The relationship between Zionism, anti-Zionism and antisemitism is debated, with some academics and organizations that study antisemitism taking the view that anti-Zionism is inherently antisemitic or new antisemitism, while others reject any such linkage as unfounded and a form of weaponization of antisemitism in order to stifle criticism of Israel and its policies, including its occupation of the West Bank and blockade of the Gaza Strip.

The relationship between Zionism, anti-Zionism and antisemitism is debated, with some academics and organizations that study antisemitism taking the view that anti-Zionism is inherently antisemitic or new antisemitism.

The ADL, an NGO dedicated to combatting antisemitism, views anti-zionism as antisemitic because anti-Zionism invokes anti-Jewish tropes, is used to disenfranchise, demonize, disparage, or punish all Jews who feel a connection to Israel, equates Zionism with Nazism and other genocidal regimes, and renders Jews less worthy of sovereignty and nationhood than other peoples and states."

Others reject any such linkage as unfounded and a form of weaponization of antisemitism in order to stifle criticism of Israel and its policies, including its occupation of the West Bank and blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 16 December 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change "movement to create a sovereign Jewish state in the region of Palestine—a region partly coinciding with the biblical Land of Israel—was flawed or unjust in some way.[2]" to "movement to create a sovereign Jewish state in the region of Palestine—a region coinciding with part of the biblical Land of Israel—was flawed or unjust in some way.[2]" The way it is currently phrased is denying Jewish history and inaccurately explains the historical maps. Israel's territory is only part of the biblical land, which included much of modern Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan. 96.57.87.242 (talk) 18:27, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other editors will handle this, but for interest, I don't see a difference between 'a region partly coinciding with' and 'a region coinciding with part of'. They seem to be the same spatial relationship, an overlap between 2 spatial objects, although I think you version is clearer. Sean.hoyland (talk) 18:43, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: this is neither an uncontroversial improvement nor one that has consensus. Please see WP:EDITXY for more information of what an uncontroversial improvement is. M.Bitton (talk) 12:34, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Right-wing anti-Zionism

Shouldn't there be more than two sentences on right-wing anti-Zionism? BobFromBrockley (talk) 11:40, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
