Cities?

[edit]

Jaffa and Haifa were cities for example, should the title reflect that? Makeandtoss (talk) 08:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also I think the map should reflect that as well with a larger dot and a tag. Thoughts @Selfstudier: @Zero0000:? Makeandtoss (talk) 12:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The Palestinian villages were not just 'depopulated' they were evicted and more, here's an Israeli article to prove that:

Biased title

[edit]

Depopulated is the passive voice, i.e. "a place lost population." This does not reflect that it was done at gunpoint. Displaced, dispossessed, annexed, expropriated, etc. are all more accurate and less biased GalacticEncyclopedist (talk) 20:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Annexed" and "expropriated" are legal terms that don't necessarily apply to each place. "Displaced" and "dispossessed" apply to people, not places. I can agree that "depopulated" is not perfect but I don't think any of those are better. In this time period, the main events were expulsion by force, and evacuation out of fear, in both cases cemented by refusal to allow return. Zerotalk 01:07, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then forcibly depopulated. Stop this New York Times style passive. Lives Found Ended. 2001:4C4E:2493:9800:B68C:9272:5623:D586 (talk) 10:32, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
