message: The entire description of Father Chacour, about the houses being exploded by the forces of the IDF, Relates to the village of Bir'am - not Iqrit. The village Gish, is across the hill from Bir'am - while Iqrit is more then 10 miles to the west.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.65.71.9 (talk) 11:08, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I can confirm this comment, although it must further be noted that the story as related by Chacour does not seem to be true. Bir'am was destroyed in September by airstrike, not on Christmas by tank fire. Possibly he appropriated Iqrit's story for his book to help make it more compelling, and the cited source is using his story in its original context. However, that cited source does not declare this, and I cannot find concrete confirmation in English sources that Iqrit was destroyed by tanks before its residents' eyes. The story should be removed from this page until a more direct and transparent source can be provided. ThoughtJot (talk) 03:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:   I have Chacour's book, and in there it is explicit that he is referring to Bir'am. So I'll remove this passage. I'm not sure about the sequence of events; the article of Ryan seems to suggest there were two rounds of destruction of Bir'am. Zerotalk 04:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The correct thing to do in this case would have been to move this passage to the page on Kafr Bir'im, which is what I will be doing. Brusquedandelion (talk) 22:55, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
thread_title: Father Chacour - not from Iqrit!

message: The article says that the village was Greek Catholic with over 400 Greek Catholics out of some 400+ citizens, but then says it had a Greek Orthodox school and big Greek orthodox church. Wikipedia's article on "Arab Orthodox" says Iqrit was Orthodox. Is it confusing Greek Orthodox and Greek Catholic????? Rakovsky (talk) 22:30, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Greek Orthodox or Catholic?

message: The 1931 census operates with two places, in addition to Iqrit (with its 339  inhabitants), it  has an "Arab Iqrit", with about 120 Muslim inhabitants. Anyone has any ideas as to what that is? Both PalRem and Khalidi gives the population as 339 in 1931; it seems as if the people of  "Arab Iqrit" is not counted anywhere??

replies: text: Good question.  I don't see it on a map or find any other mention.  The only thing I can think of it is that it refers to a bedouin group near Iqrit.  Usually names 'Arab X refer to tribes.  But that's just a guess.  I'll have further places to look next week. Zerotalk 23:04, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Possibly,  note that they count 26 houses, is that tents, then?  Btw, the same is the case for Tarshiha, p. 103 in Mills. There is an "Tarshiha, Arab", 154 Muslims in 39 houses, which the Pal.Rem-site does not mention. Huldra (talk) 22:05, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
