I've reverted edits by Al Ameer son ( talk) that are not only POV but also dubious historically. These include, but are not limited to: (1) attribution of Egyptian motivation for attacking state of Israel, (2) use of term "occupation" to refer to Israeli administration of territories and "administration" to refer to Israeli period, (3) unsourced statements about political freedom in Gaza after suez crisis.-- Sjsilverman ( talk) 01:36, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
The source Trudy Ring p. 289 states "... when Muslim armies descended on the city to battle Christian Byzantine forces in 635, Gaza was spared destruction. At that time there were already Muslim converts living among the Christian inhabitants, who were largely Greek-speaking. The coming of Islam to Gaza brought radical changes in its wake: churches were converted into mosques, the population in and around Gaza, swiftly abandoned its Christian faith for Islam, and in time, Arabic became the language of Palestine." -- Al Ameer son ( talk) 23:15, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Gaza City and the Gaza Strip are two different things. Shouldn't they have two different history articles? Emmette Hernandez Coleman ( talk) 10:02, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
[1] is cited in our article and closely resembles our text. It doesn't look like a top-notch source. Someone who is feeling energetic ought to figure out if this is merely a plagiarized source, which we can rewrite and use with ... some ... confidence, or if it's an actual circular reference in which case it doesn't prove anything but that's what we used to have. Or find new sources for it. I mean, the text is interesting and I don't want the data lost, but needs a fix. Wnt ( talk) 17:22, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
The description under " Hamas administration" regarding the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict is unbalanced. It was added around two months ago. It was not clear as this says that it was Hamas who escalated with rocket attacks and then Israel responded with an operation. As can be seen in the main article, there had been an escalation of rockets attacks but Israel had also before that attacked Hamas in a tunnel, according to several sources stated there.-- IRISZOOM ( talk) 06:10, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
I have changed it to a better description now, one that resembles the main article. -- IRISZOOM ( talk) 09:20, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
So Tuylrnicracker666 have now reverted me. First of all, it only says they were killed and not more (though it could be added) and secondly, it's not Hamas' version but rather several sources stating that, as described many times in the main article. Any way, reverting to the version which says Hamas escalated it and Israel just responded is what is NPOV. Your own assertion that Israel usually takes responsibility if they are behind an attack is irrelevant. Furthermore, there was a crackdown on Hamas in the West Bank before that, which also could be added but this current version is extremely one-sided. So we have several sources stating something which Israel refutes and again, just presenting the Israeli view is unacceptable. -- IRISZOOM ( talk) 23:15, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

The “Israeli-Hamas” war is an Israeli-Palestinian war that began in 1948 with Israeli occupation of the Palestinian state. Hamas did not create the occupation, Israel did. Hamas is a terrible organization born out of the need for Israel to establish a two-state country where Israel does not have more power & resources than the Palestinian people. I wish you Wikipedia editors weren’t racist pieces of shit, because we all see you trying to rewrite history but WE’RE NOT FALLING FOR IT. 100.37.244.216 ( talk) 19:14, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
I think it is misleading to say that Gaza is under “Palestinian control” in the last paragraph without mentioning the siege and other constraints on effective control set by Israel. The graph also is similarly misleading in suggesting that Hamas has sovereignty over Gaza. Catofminerva ( talk) 00:54, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
There is no source for the claimed note that Israel attacked Gaza in response to rocket attacks.
I feel this is inflammatory gossip unless substantiated with a source. 74.3.141.153 ( talk) 18:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Several important figures in Gazan history have been left out of this quickly-politicized page, including ones that have existing wikipedia entries that can be linked to: - Nathan of Gaza (chief disciple of Shabbetai Tzvi, moved to Gaza from Jerusalem in 1663) - Israel ben Moses Najara (16th century rabbi of Gaza) - His son, Moses Najara, who succeeded him as rabbi of Gaza Also, the entry on the disengagement has no context, since Gush Katif isn't mentioned at all. The wikipedia entry for Gush Katif can also be linked to. Onkelus Translations ( talk) 19:05, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
In the lead paragraph, Gaza is described as having first been controlled by Canaanites, then Ancient Egyptians, then Philistines, then Assyrians (around 730 BC). But the actual body of the article says it was controlled by the Kingdom of Israel for several hundred years prior to the Assyrians claiming it. That seems like a pretty serious omission. Can it be corrected? 98.123.38.211 ( talk) 03:19, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
