Talk:Gush Katif

Intercommunal violence and NPOV
The section titled Palestinian attacks only discusses attacks by Palestinians on Israeli settlers and does not make any mention of violence towards Palestinians by settlers (whether retributive or otherwise), nor does the section discuss any violence towards Palestinians from the IDF.

Ilan Pappe's Ten Myths About Israel includes the following when talking about Israeli settlement in Gaza (p159 of 212 in Verso's epub edition; locations 2122–2129 of 3227): In addition, the section goes into substantial detail about the individuals killed by Palestinian violence during the Second Intifada — perhaps more detail than is necessary and encyclopædic, especially given the lack of any mention of violence wrought on Palestinians by settlers and the IDF.

There is also very little mention of the effect on the Palestinian population of the Gush Katif settlements, beyond that they provided employment for some Palestinians in the greenhouses.

If anyone can expand the article in these regards, that would definitely help counter the impression that this article does a more comprehensive job of representing the Israeli settlers' perspective than it does of informing readers more widely. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 00:29, 30 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Literally no evidence was given by you for the alleged violence directed by the Palestinians. Ilan Pappe isn't a credible or objective source, he uses the debunked lie of "Jenin massacre" during the intifada (where most of the killed were militants), and the most important part - 0 examples were given, not even a single incident. 46.31.101.26 (talk) 18:43, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Adding information & citation to a pre-existing sentence: Israeli pop singer Narkis, in addition to Hanan Ben Ari, has also been documented on video singing to Israeli troops saying “We’ll return [to] Gush Katif” and “We’ll finish Gaza”. Video documentation of this event is provided by Middle East Monitor, in addition to other publications like Dawn: first citation: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231106-pop-singer-narkis-sings-with-israeli-soldiers-were-finishing-off-gaza/amp/ secondary citation (if needed): https://www.dawn.com/news/1786989/watch-israeli-pop-singer-narkis-calls-for-finishing-off-gaza

Proposed edit shown below:

Following the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October, there has been a renewed campaign to return Israeli settlers to Gush Katif, including Hanan Ben Ari and Narkis singing "We return to Gush Katif" to Israeli troops. 142.127.4.22 (talk) 13:50, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * ❌ The only sources seem to be videos of the singing - we would need something more to establish actual significance. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:31, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
