"Warnings" subsection
editSomeone with authority to edit this article certainly needs to fix the link to "Palestine Post" in this subsection as it links not to the predecessor paper to The Jerusalem Post but rather to the current postal organisation servicing The Territories. This is a fairly egregious error. 72.105.77.191 (talk) 03:14, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

"Terrorist attack"?
edit"The King David Hotel bombing was a terrorist attack"? From past discussions in Wikipedia I was told that the official policy of Wikipedia is not to take sides and identify an attack or organization as terroristic, which is why Hamas and Second Intifada are not classified as such. Is there an explanation for these double standards? 2A00:A040:197:1220:9095:D57C:54E5:D02F (talk) 12:32, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- All of those pages make reference to terrorism, so I'm not sure where this double standard claim is coming from. However, in this particular instances, the terroristic nature of the act is particularly well attested in reliable sources, our go-to, including tertiary ones such as the Encyclopedia of terrorism. This page also has a section that explains at length why the act was considered terroristic, alongside Irgun itself, which was condemned by all the authorities involved.
"Irgun was branded a terrorist organisation by Britain, the 1946 Zionist Congress and the Jewish Agency."
Iskandar323 (talk) 13:57, 15 September 2022 (UTC) - Lots of attacks are called terrorist attacks on WP, so you are mistaken (just for example, Afula mall bombing, but lots more). The Second Intifada wasnt a terrorist attack, and the views on Hamas are wider than "terroristic". nableezy - 14:20, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
