Talk:Palestinian Americans

message: The last paragraph reads the following right now: 
Palestinians with American, British, and other Western Passports still suffer from Israeli suspicion on the grounds of security. They are sometimes turned away from Israeli border checkpoints because they were born in the Palestinian territories or have family living there
I find this very biased considering the fact that it mentions an Israeli bias towards ANY Palestinians as a matter of fact and an unneccessary generalization of the situation at the Israeli border checkpoints and the related procedures.

message: I changed the names of the conflicts to represent the perspective of Palestinians, from "1948 Arab israeli War" to "Nakba", from "six day war" to "june war", and from "yom kippur war" to "october war". These are accepted alternate names for these conflicts and direct to the same page, except in the case of nakba versus 1948 Arab-israeli war. In that case, I believe that it is much more accurate to say that Palestinian americans left as a result of the Nakba rather than the war, since the Nakba is the Palestinian name for the disaster of palestinian emigration of 1948. If you do not understand the Nakba, you do not understand what it is to be a Palestinian refugee.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.155.136.116 (talk) 08:56, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Hello User:Mythic Writerlord, Mandatory Palestine wasn't a Palestinian entity and doesn't indicate a Palestinian identity, just like many other Jews that were born during the British Mandate. No source refers to him as Palestinian. Infantom (talk) 17:21, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I've removed this section, which was based on a single source about Linda Sarsour, who is a well-known Palestinian-American activist. This fact alone does not imply (a) that she represents Palestinian-American "activism" at large, (b) that "many" such activists support a one-state solution, or (c) that political activism is a relevant concern for most Palestinian Americans, whether post-9/11 or otherwise.In fact, according to the first tertiary source cited in the article,  of the few studies of the Palestinian experience" found that "Palestinian Americans are typically not more politically active than the population at large", and a 2005 paper on "Arab-American Political Activism and Civil Liberties in the Post 9/11 Era" published by the Wilson Center doesn't directly mention Palestinian Americans at all. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 03:07, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

message: Hello all, I added some information about candidates like Ammar Campa-Najjar who is running for Congress in the 50th district of California to the government section, to expand on the examples of Palestinian Americans in government. I also added some information about important figures that those who come to this page may benefit by recieving information about; Such as Edward Said, who influenced American political philosophy in a big way. I also mentioned an activist by the name of Huwaida Arraf, and the hip hop star DJ Khaled. I do plan to add Rashida Tlaib and Linda Sarsour later. I noticed that one of the above comments mentions removing a section about Linda Sarsour, and I was thinking of bringing some of the content back under the newly created Notable Figures section.

message: Change the description to TransJordanian.  The claim of being a Palestinian is a POV as there was never such a nationality.108.176.66.234 (talk) 11:52, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

message: The Demographics -> US Cities section includes the claim, "There is an estimated population of 85,000 Palestinians in Chicago, and Palestinians form 60% of the community in the area." The linked websites do make this claim, but they are probably typos as they are off by a scale of 10. Official 2010 Census numbers (ACS) put the total US Palestinian count at 83,241 (https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/2013/acs/acsbr10-20.pdf) while more recent data accessible through Social Explorer puts the Chicago metro Palestinian count at 15,182 compared to 90,000 people of Arab ancestry (https://www.socialexplorer.com/tables/ACS2019_5yr/R13363373). 2600:1700:71D0:6310:CCED:5F56:A81F:B645 (talk) 18:05, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

message: As the source is depreciated per  RFC: Electronic Intifada , I would generally advocate for removal. However, if there isn’t a person with the same name, the author appears to be a subject matter expert. If this assessment is accurate, I would advocate for non-removal unless a better source is found, unless someone disagrees? FortunateSons (talk) 17:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
