the overwhelming bias in favor of Jews versus Muslims in most articles makes me just want to give up wikipedia

Given the title of this article, that's it.

I can't take it anymore. I've been a wikipedian for a while (check my join-date) and I've been watching many articles closely related to Zionism, Judaism, and Palestine to keep creeping bias from setting in. From being forced to quote Simon Wiesenthal's biography as a "valid cited source" to having any edit of mine reverted that brings to light, to having to remove most of the weasel words from the "Press TV" article that frame it in the context of "Pro-Palestinian/Pro-Israeli" there is no doubt a heavy favorable bias towards Jews on Wikipedia.

I personally think this is not part of some "Jewish conspiracy" nonsense, but rather the fact that at least 80% of wiki's edits are from white college-educated western males, so they have the biases of that particular social class.

Anyway, as soon as I seen the title "Islamic terrorism" for an article, then "Jewish religious terrorism", I've come under the assumption that this encyclopedia will never fully reflect reality, or at least, accurately and report it in a non-biased fashion.

I'm going to step-up my patrol of "Israel-Palestine/Muslim-Jew" articles to be vigilant against the biases that often get ignored (or in fact, are there on purpose to portray a certain opinion) But if wikipedia becomes any more pro-Israeli or pro-Jewish (rather than non-biased) when it comes to dealing with Muslims or Israel, I may just throw in my towel.

1. Jewish and Zionist are not the same thing.
2. There is already an article Jewish religious terrorism that uses the word "Jewish" with "terrorism".
3. This article follows the naming convention of the Palestinian political violence article. Have you tried to get that article renamed? Plot Spoiler (talk) 23:44, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Problem with POV: Ashurbanippal, this article has an ancient perspective and does not include up-to-date info such as the opposing reaction to the anniversary of Bombing of King David Hotel. The article only includes negative views of the terrorism, and there is nothing to show that there were and still are, people, leaders, politicians ---like Netanyahu---who still support it. It is un-Wikipedian to take out a whole section added by someone else if it is not vandalism, is current and is referenced. You do not own this page.

No, it's not necessary. This detailed section is for a specific commemoration in 2006 regarding a specific attack. You have it in the article about the bombing. It's POV to put it here per WP:Weight. And your distortion of Netanyahu's statement is pathetic. He has never supported terrorism. In any case, he said that the King David Hotel bombing WAS NOT an act of terrorism, but a legitimate attack with a military target, distinguishing it from an act of terror intended to harm civilians. He said: ""Imagine that Hamas or Hizbullah would call the military headquarters in Tel Aviv and say, 'We have placed a bomb and we are asking you to evacuate the area.' They don't do that. That is the difference."" [because Irgun sent warnings to evacuate the building]--Ashurbanippal (talk) 02:13, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

I think that information certainly should be in the article. The way the Israeli establishment and the Israeli public see those events is a very important part of the topic. When Netanyahu attends an event to commemorate the King David bombings and regards to those actions as heroism, it shows that the modern Israeli establishment does not see those acts as terrorism and embraces them. It is a huge shift from the 1950's and 1960's when the Israeli government made sure to condemn those acts and in fact Mapai used that as a card against the Herut party, regarding them as terrorists.

I don't see any reason why those links and information should not be included in the article. Mr. Sort It Out2 (talk) 02:59, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Period to be covered by "Zionist terrorism": The period covered should not be limited by the formation of Israel. Zionism existed long before the nation of Israel and still does, independently of Israel. Zionists can be Israelis or not. Zionists live all around the world. Israelis can be Zionists or not. Zionists can commit terrorism not sanctioned by Israel or any other government.

So the period covered should include the time from the creation from the Zionist Movement till whenever it ends. That hasn't happened yet. VanEman (talk) 01:38, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

CAN SOMEONE PROTECT THIS PAGE in the past day or two, I have seen this come up with vandalism multiple times and im sick of it. Thanks The Editor of All Things Wikipedia (talk) 20:43, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

I totally agree. It's total unfair bias. This article should be entitled "Jewish Terrorism" in keeping with the naming convention of "Islamic Terrorism" Sorry, i don't know how to tag my comment, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wimp35 (talk • contribs) 18:34, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Internal political violence

The article lacks information about internal political violence. The Haganah, Irgun and Lehi executed a number of Jews (44 according to Yehuda Lapidot, who quotes Political Assassination by Jews by Ben Yehuda) over the years. --ארינמל (talk) 02:40, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Context

Parallel to Palestinian political violence there should be a Context section at the head of the article providing a background: 1920, 1921 and 1929 massacres, split between Hagganah and the Irgun, mounting distrust towards the Brits and so on. --ארינמל (talk) 09:40, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Change "political violence to terrorism" for all headings and text 115.134.249.239 (talk) 14:19, 11 March 2018 (UTC) Political violence is a phrase that is deceptive and it tones down the acts of violence for an ideology which effectively comes under the definition of terrorism.

 Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit extended-protected}} template. Also, please present reliable sources to demonstrate that terrorism is used more often to describe the specific events of the article and other terms. Please also ensure you have read the warnings at the top of this page. Thank you. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 14:58, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

• Totally agree. Zionizm is a pure terrorism and nazism. Actually, it's colonialism through terrorism. This header just another hasbara nonsense. 93.85.139.110 (talk) 16:10, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
