Is there any reason why this terrorist bombing isn't mentioned in the article? TarnishedPathtalk 09:42, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is my understanding from the introduction of this article that it concerns religious-motivated terrorism,and the bombing of the King David Hotel is more of a nationalist character than a religious one. עמית לונן (talk) 19:10, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The articles name is "Jewish extremist terrorism" and the lead states "Jewish extremist terrorism is terrorism, including religious terrorism, committed by extremists within Judaism". The lead only states that religious terrorism is included, not that other forms of terrorism are excluded. TarnishedPathtalk 23:31, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That what appears from the categories and templates in which this article is included.
A separate article concerning the more national or ethnic character of Jewish political violence/terrorism is in existence,in which the incident is addressed.

Jewish extremist terrorismJewish terrorism – This current page title is at odds with the literature on the subject, which in no uncertain terms and without caveats uses the phrase "Jewish terrorism". This is not a controversial or even contested phrase; far from it, it is the only phrase with substantial usage on the subject – see Ngrams and also the wide array of scholarly literature on the topic - most of the titles of which speak for themselves. The term is used both as an academic term in the context of history, and as a very present-day term to refer to certain groups within modern Jewish society, as exemplified by the warning about Jewish terrorism issued in August 2024 by the Israeli intelligence chief. So this language is neither novel, nor non-current. More broadly, terrorism is extremism by default, so the insertion of "extremist" here (by wiki community invention and intervention) is grossly redundant and tautologous – hence why it finds so little currency among subject-matter experts.

  • Comment I’ve generally felt that Islamic terrorism as an article title isn’t right, but I would note that this article links to Jewish fundamentalism when describing Jewish extremism. This isn’t right, as this is simply a religious movement (fundamentalism isn’t the same thing as extremism) and many acts which have been described as Jewish terrorism were committed by secular nationalist groups, for example.

  • Move. "Extremist" is not a precisely defined term. Either all terrorism is extremist, or there is terrorism that is not extremist but we would want to include it anyway. The terrorism is what defines it. Zerotalk 05:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
