Why "killings and"?
editWhy does it need "killings and"? The smallest is 6 deaths, the definition is often 3 or more. MWQs (talk) 23:55, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Removed content for review

- It was added in 2022 by an editor who was later blocked indefinitely for edit-warring. Regarding Dore Gold, he is a professional propagandist (a major figure in the Likud establishment) and we shouldn't care what he writes about anything. I also can't find anything like this in his book and absent a page number it's gone regardless. As for Sivan, he says that 600 Jewish civilians died "during the bombing and siege of Jerusalem". The text in our article said "In contrast to Morris, the Jewish inhabitants of the Old City were expelled and 600 of them were killed". (1) "In contrast to Morris" is wrong as Morris does not disagree with Sivan, and Sivan does not mention Morris. (2) "the Jewish inhabitants of the Old City were expelled" is true but Sivan does not say it. (3) "600 of them were killed" in context seems to imply a massacre in the Old City, but Sivan does not say that. In fact, Sivan says nothing to imply anything except that they were war casualties.

Lydda death toll
editDoes anyone know where the range of deaths for the Lydda come from? What is the source of the given upper bound of 1700? IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 08:05, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
