Talk:Galilean

Cleanup
I think this article deals with several distincts aspects of what a Galilean is. I suggest that it should be split in two or more articles, at least one on the inhabitants of Galilee and another one on the followers of the zealot Judas of Gamala.

Indeed. And I think the most common use of the term is the use in terms of Galilean maths, particularly when talking about special relativity.Tuntable (talk) 00:30, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

"Modern period" section: POV, unsourced, proves definition in lead is insufficiently sharp
Added without any source by anonymous editor 5 years ago:

"Unlike the Judeans and the Idumeans, the Galileans survived until the 1930s in the village of Peki'in, after which the Jews were expelled to Hadera by the Arab riots. Until 500 years ago, Peki'in had a Jewish majority and in Medieval times, Galilean Jews had presence in many villages such as Kafr Yassif, Biriyya, Alma, and more."

Jewish ethnocentrist view (on top of unfounded and partially wrong or hard to prove claims). As of current lead, Galilean = inhabitant of the Galilee, not JEWISH inhabitant of the Galilee. See term "Galilee of the Gentiles/nations" valid in antiquity and occurring both in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament (see, ). Not clear if this section is even legitimate, the definition in the intro/lead needs to specify: in classical antiquity, or throughout history? If we settle for the latter, it will be more difficult to prove such a thing can still be found today as a distinct identity. The early, proto-Zionist Jewish settlements of the Galilee including the Huleh Valley did develop a specific dialect, but it has all but disappeared. Not aware of a specific identity among Galilean Arabs, including the Druze or not, as one may chose. Maybe there is one - closer ties to Mount Lebanon, Syria, who knows, I regret not to. Anyone?
