:I have made an edit removing the genocide reference in the first paragraph, per Cinderella157's wise point about flow. I also believe that the scope of this page is more concerned with the military aspect of the Gaza war than the dispute over whether genocide has occurred. Therefore, it should be relegated to a very important part of the article, but not ''the'' most important. For example, our article on the Yugoslav Wars does not mention the many genocides in the first paragraph, rather, it focuses more on the military and geopolitical aspects of the conflict. As a last note, the colons have grown to such an extent that some comments are not even visible on my mobile phone! Which is especially relevant because it's all just NOTFORUM-violating arguments by editors who, if you changed the sigs, could easily be some of the editors who were banned by ARBPIA5 last winter. So please stick to the actual merits of this and what Wikipedia policy actually says on the matter (i.e. summary style, only most crucial information) and not devolve into bickering about what death toll refers to.

::Please keep in mind that given that this is a livestreamed massive humanitarian tragedy, the vast majority of the editors here are still making an extreme effort to be as polite and respectful as we are able, despite that the topic is inherently extremely upsetting. I don't think that there is any need to threaten other editors with sanctions. [[User:David A|David A]] ([[User talk:David A|talk]]) 05:34, 8 July 2025 (UTC) |
