grammar edit

Hello everyone,

Under the topic "violence", it says:

In 2003, according to Stephen Atkins, Hamas resumed suicide bombings in Israel as a retaliatory measure after the failure of peace talks and an Israeli campaign targeting members of the upper echelon of the Hamas leadership.[i] but they are considered as crimes against humanity under international law.


Im not an english native speaker, but the bold marked part sounds weird, doesnt it?

I would change it to "These acts are considered..."

Kind regards,

 Done - it looks like this was a half-complete edit - we already reference that report immediately after this odd sentence fragment. I've de-duplicated the ref and removed the awkward phrasing. Smallangryplanet (talk) 17:00, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Hamas

you forgot to write hamas in a teror organitation that killed jewish without reason and a lot of countries are think that hamas is teror organitation Garrymendelboum1233 (talk) 09:46, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Can you copy/paste the text you read that caused you to write 'you forgot to write...'. Was it an AI summary or something else? I ask because the article does include information about terrorist organization designations. Sean.hoyland (talk) 10:02, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
I also don't know why Hamas isn't referred to as a terrorist organization in the first line. There should at least be an FAQ about this above. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 19:15, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
This is mentioned in the lead multiple times. Please see MOS:TERRORIST for more on how we apply terms like "terrorist" or "terror organization." Smallangryplanet (talk) 16:53, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
Also, we already do have a FAQ about this above. Maybe it was added after this request? Smallangryplanet (talk) 17:01, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
I'll give you a draft, which will be in a hidden message (you'll have to see the source code):

You can make edits you see fit. The page should be called Talk:Hamas/FAQ. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 17:10, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
We have this already. On this page. It was added a while ago I think because this question comes up often. Smallangryplanet (talk) 17:59, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Political position of Hamas

Hamas cannot be left-wing nor right-wing. It actually belongs in the "Third Position" which makes it far-right. ~2026-34603-15 (talk) 09:26, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

“Israeli occupied Gaza strip”

The Gaza strip has been under blockade, not occupation, since 2007. ~2026-34988-38 (talk) 04:07, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
