Talk:Talleen Abu Hanna

Palestinian vs Israeli Arab
please explain why you removed "Palestinian" from this article, when the Time Magazine source clearly states that: "Like many of Israel’s 1.6 million Arab citizens, she calls herself Palestinian as well." -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 16:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Talleen is an Israeli Arab Christian who does not identify with the Palestinians at all.Talleen's grandfather-Hanna Abu Hanna was an educator and teacher and was one of the founders of the Israeli Catholic Scouts youth movement in Nazareth. Journalist Diaa Hadid Wrote this from her agenda and attached the Palestinian identity to Talleen without asking her and without confirming this topic in front of me as Talleen's personal manager.This is the only article that associates the Palestinian identity with Talleen, in all the hundreds of articles that have been written about Talleen, nothing like this has been written. Talleen and her family are Israeli Arabic-speaking Christians who live in Nazareth and identify with their Israeli culture and national identity. I will be happy to update you with more details about Talleen, including upcoming international events, and I will be happy to answer additional questions for you. I will also be happy to arrange a Zoom call with you and Talleen.Thanks you in advance . Israela24il (talk) 19:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * , since you have stated you are Abu Hanna's manager, you should disclose your relationship to the subject for whom you are making edits. Especially if you are being paid to make these edits (read more at Paid-contribution disclosure). As for the source, Time is a reliable source. The article was written by Yardena Schwartz, not Diaa Hadid as you claimed. The article states:

Born and raised in Nazareth, the childhood home of Jesus Christ, Abu Hanna is a Catholic Israeli Arab. Like many of Israel’s 1.6 million Arab citizens, she calls herself Palestinian as well. But ask her where she’d rather live, and her response is swift. “I wouldn’t be alive if I grew up in Palestine,” she says in perfect Hebrew. “Not as a gay man, and definitely not as a transgender woman.”


 * The Times source indicates that she identifies as both Israeli and Palestinian. While this doesn't necessarily need to be mentioned in the article lede, I believe you should revert your edit in the "Early life" section of the article where you changed Palestinian to Arab. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 17:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
