Talk:Umm al-Fahm

Name Meaning
Although I'm not 100% sure, I am fairly certain that the name Umm El-Fahm means "Mother of Understanding" in Arabic and not "Mother of Charcoal." Can anyone verify this? Notecardforfree (talk) 23:27, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

-Well, I live in Umm al-Fahm and it means mother of charcoal, Fehem in arabic means understanding, Fahm means charcoal, however the "H" in fahm is not pronounced "H" as in "Hat" (in fehem it is pronounced as in "hat"), but in english The letter "ح" does not exist, therefore it's written using "H". Go to Google Translate to hear how the letter "ح" is pronounced.

City versus town
I've also changed "city" to "town". Does anyone know what a city is any more? It's as bad as calling Palestinian towns (even townships) camps (just because they originally were). OK I've changed it back again since it was "officially" labelled a City - utterly bizarre idea - it's a town.
 * It's a city, according to the Ministry of the Interior, which has the authority to decide on what municipalities are cities, and which are not. Other Arab cities in Israel include Nazareth, Tira, Tayibe, Qalansuwa, Rahat, Shaghur, Sakhnin and Kafr Qasim. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 20:35, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Trolls are vandalizing this article
There is a or multiple trolls vandalizing this article by claiming this city is from Palestine. According to international law, that is incorrect and totally inaccurate. This city, according to said laws, belongs to Israel, whether you agree or disagree. MannyPC (talk) 02:39, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
