The article is clear that the attackers "made no distinction between the inhabitants". So the title of the article should not use a word which implies that one ethnic group was singled out. Oncenawhile ( talk) 20:45, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
The article deals specifically with the attack on the Jewish community of Hebron, therefore the title is warranted, as is the alternative title "Yagma el Gabireh". An article on the wider massacre that took place would include details of the non-Jewish victims. There is a distinction between the Jews of Hebron and the non-Jews in that the Jews were not subject to conscription and therefore were not at odds with the Egyptian forces. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.24.38.39 ( talk) 17:36, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
Al Ameer has some doubts about it. I am less conservative. The definition of pogrom on our article begins:' pogrom is a violent riot aimed at massacre or persecution of an ethnic or religious group, particularly one aimed at Jews.' Pogroms consist of local communities attacking an ethnoreligious minority, esp. Jews. The story is one of foreign forces, extraneous to Hebron, assaulting the city to suppress a peasant revolt, and then massacring the Muslim and Jewish populations of Hebron. This again does not fit the pogrom paradigm: for it to fit, the Arab Hebronite majority would have had to have murdered Jews in their midst. The Egyptian army seems to have been responsible. the 1929 massacre at Hebron was a pogrom, by all definitions (except the criterion, in the specialist literature, which requires that locals who carry out the attack are following a government or local authority directive, which in 1929 does not appear to be the case (it being a spontaneous riot by villagers in the district coming into Hebron, inflamed by a rumour). This was not. Nishidani ( talk) 18:51, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

This article should be renamed Battle of Hebron. It was the last battle of the peasants' revolt in Palestine where the rebels of Jabal Nablus and the Hebron Hills made a last stand. The battle ended in a decisive Egyptian victory and a massacre by Egyptian troops followed, however, it began as a fierce street-to-street battle between troops and rebels. If nobody objects, I'll move the article in a week. -- Al Ameer ( talk) 23:28, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
