message: The 19 West Bank camps built under Jordan's illegal occupation should be described as illegal. Let's have some consistency here. Chesdovi (talk) 20:14, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  West Bank camps are illegal settlements 

message: The topic of this page is camps designated as those populations centers administered by UNRWA on behalf of the Palesintian people, not within a geographic area known as Palestine.  By including locaitons in Lebanon and Syria, especially, it seems to imply the those locaitons are locations in an area called Palestine, and not peopled by those called Palestinians.  For example, during WWII the US interned many people of Japanese descent within the United States.  These were Japanese internment camps, not Japan internment camps.  The issue is both one of grammatical and geographic error.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.252.4.21 (talk) 11:28, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Hello! I would potentially like to make some additions to this page.  I think this page could benefit from adding a section on what life is like inside of the camps, so I would mainly discuss issues such as health, education, and living conditions.  If you would like to see my sources, feel free to check out my page! Courtwang (talk) 02:11, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Media reflects these camps as concentration. Perhaps a change of name is needed. There are claims of forced labour to mention by the way.Kafkasmurat (talk) 19:43, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Per WP:COMMONNAME, the name of this article is the one commonly used by independent, reliable English-language sources. I checked the New York Times, the BBC, and Fox News, and they all use "refugee".  Looking at List of concentration and internment camps, Wikipedia distinguishes between detention in a concentration camp where leaving is not permitted, prisoner-of-war camp which is also involuntary, and a refugee camp where leaving is possible and the camp is an alternative to integrating into local settlements (which may or may not be allowed) or returning to the area of origin (which refugees left for security or economic reasons). The cited article appeared in Al Akhbar (Lebanon), and upon close reading is actually not referring to any of the camps listed in this article, but a set of 5 camps that only existed from 1948 to 1955. Those camps might make an interesting subject for a separate article.  -- Beland (talk) 17:28, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Palestinian Gatherings 

message: I think Abu Shukheidim should be removed from the list, or put in its own category:
* The source given shows its population as N/A
* The Arabic version of the Abu Shukheidim article :ar:أبو شخيدم describes it as a village in which many refugees came to live, not as a camp
* The OCHA OpT map (see right) does not call it a camp, but other unofficial camps like Qaddura are called a camp
