There is no evidence to support that Jewish emigrants were expelled from the Arab world

The article incorrectly states that Jews emigrated to Israel as refugees from the Arab world. There is zero evidence to support this.

Relevant incorrect passage: ” 1,000,000 Jews left, fled, or were expelled from their homes…”

More evidence of child shootings emerge

Two girls shot in Gaza - BBC pieces together what happened and looks at dozens more child shootings.

I suggest including more info on such war crimes. 157.167.128.180 (talk) 07:28, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the right article. Check if it is already present in Gaza genocide and Children in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and if not suggest an explicit edit on the talk pages following WP:EDITXY. Zero^talk 08:00, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. Wrong article. Apologies. 157.167.128.180 (talk) 13:07, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
