Talk:Palestinian diaspora

message: Can you please find an alternate location for the doc at  reporting some of the statistics, it seems a broken link. Besides A) questioning the numbers that 3.9 million Palestinians live in Gaza and West Bank/Judea and Samaria, as well as the three million that live in Jordan, B) not confirmed by the numbers in this article: Demographics_of_the_Palestinian_territories C) why are they all considered in the diaspora? Are all Palestinians in the diaspora? Even if they were displaced by the wars (I'm not questioning that that happenned), they are still located in 'historic Palestine'. OK, going to the P. territories article I see that Jordan is not part of historic Palestine (and I'll stay away from questioning that claim), it's not possible to accurately claim that all Palestinians are in the diaspora For instance, the millions of Americans displaced by Hurricane Katarina were not in the dispora as long as they were still in the US. Nonetheless, if there are 3.5 million residents of Gaza, or even 2.5 million as researched here: Demographics_of_the_Palestinian_territories#Recent_Developments, then all are not counted as in the diaspora. --Shuki 05:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article does not claim that all Palestinians are in the diaspora. In order to avoid confusion, I've changes the name of the chart with the breakdown of populations to clarify that it includes all Palestinians everywhere. It's not necessary to remove Palestinians in Israel or Palestinians in the Palestinian territories from the chart. The text makes it clear that the diaspora generally refers to those outside  historic Palestine. Tiamut 11:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that's wrong and quite misleading. I just went through a few articles here :Category:Diasporas and none include people still living in the 'homeland'. This article should follow a similar template to the rest. Arabs and Palestinians living on the western side of the Jordan River are not in the diaspora and do not belong in this article at all. The scope of this article is the specific issue of diaspora, not refugees or people misplaced from original homes still living in the same country or specified region like 'historical Palestine'. The article is legitimate, thanks for beginning it. --Shuki 19:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your slightly backhanded acknowledgment. The scope of the article is outlined in the definition provided in the first two paragraphs: Palestinian diaspora (Arabic: الشتات, al-shatat) is a term used to describe Palestinians living outside of historic Palestine - an area today known as Israel and the Palestinian territories or the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.[1] Of the total Palestinian population worldwide, estimated at between 9 to 11 million people, roughly half live outside of their homeland. Since the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Palestinians have experienced several waves of exile and lived in different host countries around the world.[2] In addition to the Palestinian refugees of 1948, hundreds of thousands were also displaced in the 1967 war. Together, these refugees make up the majority of the Palestinian diaspora.[2] Besides the people who were displaced by war, others have emigrated overseas for various reasons such as work opportunity, education, and/or persecution from Israeli or Palestinian authorities.[citation needed]
I appreciate your correction of the table to bring it into line with other diaspora templates. Tiamut 00:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

text: There was certainly no backhanded comment and if I was American, I'd be insulted for the lack of AGF. This article is very important.--Shuki 21:48, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think people can read and see why I said what I did. I don't understand what your being or not being American has to do with anything. But I agree, the article is very important. Tiamut 21:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Many of the figures given in the article are of very dubious origins. Eg., the Egyptian one is straight made-up, see the discussion in on the Project site. -- 95.90.221.102 (talk) 11:31, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsourced population figures 

message: The sentence marked as [citation needed] already has a reference, which is reference [15]. If the editor who added the mark meant to say that citations are needed for the population figures, the citation needed template should be added to those individual bullet points, not the rest of the paragraph. In the history there are plenty of edits that insert population figures as bullet points yet fail to cite any sources, those figures from individual bullet points should have the template. Putting it at the end of the section is confusing when there is a clear citation for that sentence. Christian.Galo (talk) 00:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
