Incorrect Ottoman conqueror
The article mistakenly says "Palestine was conquered by Turkish Sultan Selim II in 1516–17" instead of Selim I.
His grandson Selim II ruled from 1566 to 1574.
Genetic testing and newcomers
So the article claims in the Islamic rule section that the foundation of mosques points to Muslim settlers, however modern genetic testing of Palestinians has shown that the genetic footprint from the Arabian subcontinent is quite limited. It also shows considerable genetic ties to the Canaanites as well as neighbouring communities like the Jordanians and Egyptians as well as strong ties to Jewish communities.
I feel like that should at least be mentioned. 118.209.222.100 (talk) 13:14, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have reliable sources? Given the topic of the article, I agree that it should mention the part of the modern Palestinian population descended from the older Jewish population if there are estimates on that with reliable sources. ---- SJy2iI83VJ (talk) 22:19, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Article contradicts itself
This sentence in the "Under Islamic rule" section seems to contradict information earlier in the same article:
"It was first time, after almost 500 years of oppressive Christian rule, that Jews were allowed to enter and worship freely in their holy city."
The article earlier says that in that span of time Julian, Eudocia, and the Sassanid Persians all allowed Jews to enter Jerusalem and worship there. SJy2iI83VJ (talk) 20:16, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 18 February 2024
in the part of "Early Roman period", there's a timeline on the side of the page. in this timeline, the Bar-Kochba revolt appears after the renaming of Judea to Syria-Palaestina, and this renaming is depicted as "judea merged into Syria-Palaestina". change it to "Judea renamed into Syria-Palaestina" and switch it's place with "Bar-Kochba revolt" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eran Haim1 (talk • contribs) 21:20, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: Regarding the the renaming event on the timeline, it is listed as a one-time event for the year 132, and therefore should not be placed after the Bar Kokhba revolt, which was a multi-year event lasting until 136. For the renaming vs. merging issue, see Syria Palaestina § Name. Havradimleaf a message 07:10, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like a bedtime tale
The History of the Jews and Judaism in the Land of Israel.
Not to mention, the first paragraph too. I enjoy the style a bit but it's also deviates a lot from the traditional Wikipedia style of objective reporting LostCitrationHunter (talk) 07:03, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
