Upon request, I have started a copyedit of this article. My first reaction is that it has more issues than copyediting.
The article has an exaggerated focus on the conflict between the Palestinians and the Jews. Many other articles cover this subject. I propose that this article focus on the conflict between the larger "Arab" world and Israel. I.e., the focus on Palestinian issues should be reduced, and the larger conflict (led by the Arab League should be the focus here).
I include here my proposed rewrite of the intro, which I claim is more neutral and more focused on the broader Arab/Israel conflict rather than the more specific Palestine/Israel conflict. I have not changed the article itself, to avoid an edit war. I appreciate your feedback and am prepared to address issues raised here. Thanks for noticing!
TheArab–Israeli conflict is a multi-decade struggle betweenIsrael and manyArab countries. The conflict's root is Israel's presence in an area also claimed by Palestinian Arabs.[1]
The simultaneous rise ofZionism andArab nationalism beginning late in the 19th century marked the beginning of the conflict, despite the long-term coexistence of Arab and Jewish peoples in lands that formed part of theOttoman Empire. Zionists viewed the land as the Jewish ancestral homeland; Arabs saw it as Arab Palestinian land and an essential part of the Muslim world.[2]

Routledge. p. 2.doi:10.4324/9781003031994.ISBN9781003031994.In this context we should not overlook the latest turning point in the history of Palestine – the attack by Hamas on 7th October 2023 on Israeli settlements adjacent to Gaza and the subsequent genocidal war that the state of Israel has carried out in the Gaza strip
Amnesty International (2024).'You Feel Like You Are Subhuman': Israel's Genocide Against Palestinians In Gaza(PDF) (Report). p. 13.Archived(PDF) from the original on 5 December 2024.This report focuses on the Israeli authorities' policies and actions in Gaza as part of the military offensive they launched in the wake of the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October 2023 while situating them within the broader context of Israel's unlawful occupation, and system of apartheid against Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Israel. It assesses allegations of violations and crimes under international law by Israel in Gaza within the framework of genocide under international law, concluding that there is sufficient evidence to believe that Israel's conduct in Gaza following 7 October 2023 amounts to genocide.
Traverso, Enzo (2024).Gaza Faces History. Other Press. p. 8.ISBN978-1-63542-555-0.The only normative definition we have, codified at the United Nations Genocide Convention of 1948, accurately describes the current situation in Palestine ... describes exactly what is happening in Gaza today
B'Tselem (July 2025).Our Genocide(PDF) (Report). p. 86.The review presented in this report leaves no room for doubt: since October 2023, the Israeli regime has been responsible for carrying out genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Killing tens of thousands of people; causing bodily or mental harm to hundreds of thousands more; destroying homes and civilian infrastructure on a massive scale; starvation, displacement, and denying humanitarian aid — all this is being perpetrated systematically, as part of a coordinated attack aimed at annihilating all facets of life in the Gaza Strip.
Does Yemen really count? As far as I understand it, Israel only has a problem with Houthi Yemen, not the actual government of Yemen. Although I understand that the Houthis have control over Sanaa, which is the capital of the nation, so is that why it's being included?Hacked (Talk|Contribs)06:33, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
