Hey. I am trying to stay within the rules regarding discussing this subject, so I hope the following is an acceptable way to address an issue I noticed while reading the article.
In the paragraphs on
“Oslo (1993-2001)” within the section about the timeline, the following is written:
«Core to the Oslo Accords was the creation of the Palestinian Authority and the security cooperation it would enter into with the Israeli military authorities in what has been described as the "outsourcing" of the occupation to the PA.[5] »
Now the issue I have with this is the “described” part, which seems to be a MOS:WEASEL(attribution) issue to me.
To fix this, ideally specific names of people who have done this “describing” (along with sources for each) should replace the general language used.
Alternatively, or in the meantime, I’d like to suggest that: the template “[by whom?]” or another similar template, added after “described”.
I don’t dispute that people have made this description, and I also don’t mean to agree or disagree with it in this request.

- I removed the disputed clause because it is redundant to the very next sentence, which is cited more appropriately to its source. --GHcool (talk) 17:12, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks very much! Slomo666 (talk) 20:36, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
- Also to be clear I did NOT dispute the veracity of the claim that people have said this. Slomo666 (talk) 19:42, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

revert
editeditoer reverted: "Chomsky is a well-respected political critic and clearly WP:DUE".
I'm sorry, the editor's personal opinion is irrelevant. This is WP:WEIGHT, Chomsky is a linguist. He is not a foreign and security relations scholar, he is not a statesman, diplomat or politician. Therefore, the editor's personal assessment of the writer (because of his linguistic talent or political views) is not a factor. He should have professional relevance. When it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, almost everyone (at least in relation to Israelis and I assume Palestinians as well) has an opinion.
שמי (2023) (talk) 16:39, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- This isn't a case of opinion though, he is in fact a notable, widely cited author & respected political critic, having written several books on the matter. He was also properly attributed, so it's clear that it's his personal description on the topic.
- Also for the future, if you want a response, I'd suggest pinging @EvansHallBear. Butterscotch Beluga (talk) 17:19, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
@Butterscotch Beluga, The fact that his critical political opinion is heard does not make him an expert in the field. After all, as I mentioned, he has no expertise in the issue and no involvement. There are many people with expertise (or involvement) with criticism of the Oslo Accords. Their positions are also more mainstream (it is difficult to say that libertarian socialism, Chomsky's worldview, is mainstream) and then it hurts WP:DUE. So why him?שמי (2023) (talk) 18:28, 22 August 2025 (UTC) Topic ban violation Jeppiz (talk) 18:53, 22 August 2025 (UTC)- Perhaps 'anti-Zionist' should be added as his bias is well known?Halbared (talk) 18:35, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- DONE. --GHcool (talk) 19:04, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Small change to add the definition of the PLO acronym
edit | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Description of suggested change: There is no definition of the PLO acronym the first time that "PLO" appears in the article's text. The first instance of "PLO" should be changed to "Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)'s" with a link to the Palestine Liberation Organization page.
Diff:
| − | + | [[Palestine Liberation Organization]] (PLO)'s |
