:First of all, the Gospels are not a ] here at Misplaced Pages for historical information. And citizenship is in fact one of the ways in which modern people identify themselves these days. By that measure of identity, half the Samaritans in the world are Palestinians. You might also want to read the article I directed you to.

:: I have followed this argument. Actually, there are NO sources about Jesus Christ except the Gospels. Christians are mentioned by historians of the first century as Josephus Flavius, Pliny or Eusebius, and were considered by them a Jewish sect, but no mention of the historical Jesus Christ, therefore, you cannot find any other source except the Gospel. In any case, if you do not consider the Gospel as a reliable source, how can you admit the comment "Our Creator"? That's indeed a statement based on belief and not on science or history. Concerning the Palestinian issue, you cannot find any source in which such name is mentioned before the second century CE, and no Palestinian people at all in that time. Roman documents mention Jews, Samaritans, Greeks and other peoples as inhabitants of Judea, Samaria and Galilee, but no Palestinians or Arabs. Only Jews fought the Roman occupation of the land, as you can read in "Jewish Wars" by Josephus Flavius, considered the most creditable historian of the Holy Land during the first century CE. Definitely, Jesus Christ was not a Palestinian at all, as it was impossible as to be North-American by that time. Also Samaritans existed then, and they were not Palestinians. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 20:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:::You seem to be confused about a few things. First of all, I did not add the Jesus, Our Creator entry. I mistakenly restored it after you deleted it along with the Samaritan entries, but I only did that once, for reasons I have explained to you above. |
|
|
:::Second, I should have been clearer about the Gospels. They are not a reliable source for establishing incontrovertible historical facts, but we can use the Gospels as long as we preface the sentence by .... "According to the Gospels," .... |
|
|
:::Third, you are misinformed about the use of "Palestinian". Please actually do read the article on ]. There you will find that Herodotus referred to the people of Palestine as Palestinian-Syrians as early as the 4th century. "Palestinian" is also commonly used in other historical texts before the establishment of Israel in 1948. That some Christian Zionists don't like to accept this information because it contradicts with their belief system doesn't mean these are not facts. |
|
|
:::Again, many Samaritans were integrated into the Palestinain population. As I explained to you above, a number of Palestinian Muslim families in Nablus have family names that indicate Samaritan ancestry. In any case, I don't see why we are continuing this discussion since it is only barely related to the article's improvement. If I decide to bring sources to the table that establish the facts in question and move to reinclude the information you have deleted, we can discuss then. Right now, we're just pissing in the wind really. Thanks. ]<sup>]</sup> 20:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC) |

:: I'm not the same person with whom you began the discussion, so I don't have your messages.

Do Elazar ben Tsedaka ben Yitzhaq and Saloum Cohen sound Arabic? They are undoubtedly Jewish names. Samaritans are of Jewish origin, not Arab, therefore, they are not palestinians. |
|

If you consider them palestinians by birthplace, then you must exclude yasser Arafat, as he was Egyptian. It's not a birthplace issue, but ethnic.

Interested in views - should a person be included in this list if they lived before ] and the beginning of ]? There are arguments for and against. On the one hand it would likely be sensitive to a number of readers (see comment about blasphemy above), as such additions could include such luminaries of history as: |
|
|
* ], the ], ] and the ] (see google book sources) |
|
|
* ] (see various google sources ) |
|
|
* All of the ] |
|
|
* Other Biblical characters such as ], ], and ] |
|
|
* Locally born crusaders such as ] |
|
|
* Arab scholars such as ] |
|
|
On the other hand, it would be consistent with other articles for regions with a relatively new nationalism such as ] and ], and consistent with ] where use of the Greek word ] has parallels with the region name ''Palestine'' used for 2500 years (see ]). Thoughts? |

:Though I am biased, it is the common idea among archaeologists in the region that the first Palestinian Arabs as they are now came in with the ]. Palestine itself of course comes from ], which is as the article there suggests were probably originally a Mycenaean group of the ]. |
|
|
:Just a note, I do not hold Genesis or Exodus to be true history. I find that history of Israel we actually have evidence for is from David (but not Solomon yet) and then Jeroboam on down with the Bible matching up more and more with the archaeological evidence as we get closer to Jehoash's reign iirc and then pretty much being accurate from then on. As for the patriarchs we have no current evidence of their existence, but as with Jesus and other things may find it some day. |

During certain periods the word "Palestinian" meant anyone living in Palestine. Currently, in the English language and on Misplaced Pages, Palestinian refers to the Arab population and their ethnic and cultural group, regardless of birthplace. |
|
|
|
|
|
Birthplace alone does not make you a Palestinian, nor disqualify you. For example, Yassir Arifat was born outside "Palestine," but is still a Palestinian. Jesus Christ was born in Palestine, but we don't know what his ethnicity or cultural identity was outside some sources that call him a "Jew," another murky term. |

No RS says he was born in Bethlehem. If you think the Bible is RS, then please review ]. |

Somebody is listing Jesus Christ as a Palestinian.

You can sure find alot of sources that tell you what Jesus was like. Your Palestinian Jesus sources will be contradicted by Black Hebrew Israelite sources that are quite certain Jesus was black (the Bible says his hair was nappy). But, reliability is the better part of verifiability. |

::::::::::Yes, I mostly agree. But defining "culturally" Arab is not an easy thing to do, so the only way we could define it without subjectivity is if they speak Arabic. And by defining it like that it ignores the scholarly view that the people living in Byzantine Palestine at the time of the Islamic conquest remained there but just changed their language. Frankly it is absurd for us to go back through history and try to draw lines as to who qualifies. The only clear line is the British mandate. That was the moment when the identity of people known today as Palestinians was locked down. It wasn't a cultural or linguistic issue at the time. If you lived within the new British borders you became Palestinian, if you lived outside you became Lebanese or Jordanian etc, no matter where your ancestors were from. |

:In terms of procedure, I don't think we should take the slightest notice of how either side spins this in contemporary politics or journalism. Politicians make history, but they do not write it. The question is, for me, (a) a matter of internal page consistency, the use of a consistent criterion for inclusion or exclusion, regarding all wiki pages on peoples and their historical antecedents (b) what RS say. I argued earlier, adducing a few dozen sources, that numerous RS by historians and biblical scholars have no problem with speaking of 'Palestinian Jews' or specifically of Jesus and his Palestinian followers. They do this because 'Palestine' is the default term for the country in historical writing and, because they do not allow politics to get in the way of their historical judgement. (c) The third anomaly is that, while we accept 'Palestinian Jews' in antiquity for inclusion, the idea that one particular Palestinian Jew', Jesus, can be registered meets particular resistance. That contradiction indicates a failure to apply a consistent principle on the page. Wiki article prioritize quality (academic) RS usage in these matters, and we are failing to respect this usage here, in my view.] (]) 15:59, 16 May 2014 (UTC) |

But numerous pages on peoples who had no conceptualized national (political) identity before very modern times, listed figures from earlier ages.

Perhaps ], who began this discussion, would like to explain? ] (]) 09:08, 29 May 2014 (UTC) |

:::::::I don't really see how this is relevant for raised NPOV issue. I have no intention of suggesting merging pre-mandate list into list of Israelis, as that would be simply shifting POV to other side without fixing anything. "Palestinian" as member of modern ] and "Palestinian" as person born in region of ] are not same, although sources dealing with them separately may use the same term. Having same term/name refer to multiple different things is very common in wikipedia, and there is whole long policy about ways to ] between those.--] (]) 15:18, 29 May 2014 (UTC) |

{{outdent|::::::::}}Ok. I still think you misunderstand re "Israeli", but that's besides the point. |

To put what I think you are saying slightly differently, the two lists are different for the following reason at its simplest: |
|
|
* List of post-mandate Palestinians excludes Jews, because Jews from the region no longer identify themselves as Palestinian |
|
|
* List of pre-mandate Palestinians is geographically defined, following WP:RS, and therefore includes everyone |
|
|

I think i can live with your point that because of this difference they should sit in different articles. It's subjective, but I acknowledge that the Berbers, Welsh and Armenians cited by ], amongst others, do not share this oddity of a whole subgroup having been carved out of an identity in modern times. |

So if we go down that route, the question is what should the two articles be called? ] (]) 17:42, 30 May 2014 (UTC) |

:Something like ] or ]. If we want to be more specific in title then something like ] or ] or ] or ] or ] are among options. There are plenty of possible ways to word that.--] (]) 11:46, 31 May 2014 (UTC) |

*'''Oppose removal''' for reasons given by others. What matters is what's reflected in reliable sources. Arguments that it's "not logical" to include Jewish people in the list are OR. I don't see why Jesus is at the top of the list, though. It should be sorted by default either chronologically or alphabetically. ] (]) 19:22, 30 May 2014 (UTC) |

:@FormerIP, as you opposed to the removal you must have good arguments. Please explain me your arguments, because really I do not get them. This is not a list of people born in Palestine, but a list of Palestinians. Now I see in the infobox of the article a map of the State of Palestine. Under such circumstances it is clear that the list of Palestinians cannot include Jewish people born 2,000 years ago. Of course I could understand the inclusion of a Jewish if he/she was born after the mandate, but this is not the case. I could still understand the inclusion of Jesus if we were speaking of list of people born in Palestine, but as it is the article today I don't see how can be Jesus included. Am I wrong? ] (]) 20:07, 31 May 2014 (UTC) |

::Misplaced Pages goes off sources. Sources say Jesus was "Palestinian". Generally speaking, if you want to disagree with sources, you need an exceptionally strong argument. "Because I don't like Yasser Arafat", as is given above as a reason, is not good enough. That the definition of "Palestinian" differs depending on what historical period we are talking about is not problematic. We can easily deal with that, just as we would for other geographic identities that might be variable over time (Indian or French, for example). This is a non-argument in the face of sourcing. |

::I agree that there are wider issues with the article. It doesn't have a clear idea of what it wants to be, and that should be sorted out one way or the other. It might be modified to create a more cohesive but inclusive article, or it might be split into two or more articles. The answer shouldn't, though, be to delete encylopaedic material. In any case, the current discussion isn't about that. It's something that should be decided by careful consideration of the options, not because a few editors don't like Jesus being in the list. ] (]) 23:36, 31 May 2014 (UTC) |

The vast majority of people in the pre-mandate section are Jews or Byzantine Greeks and '''should be removed.''' This article is an obvious attempt by the Arabs to ] Jewish history. This racist and ] propaganda should be deleted per ] and ]. |

Request to add Feda Almaliti Misplaced Pages to the notable Palestinians as an activist as she is of Palestinian descent.
