Cleanup

This article needs a major cleanup. It appears someone just copy pasted a translated version from the Hebrew page. I'm going to do a little bit of work on it, and I'm not sure how much can be saved. mikeman67 (talk) 13:27, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Article should focus only on the October escalation. EkoGraf (talk) 14:20, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
EkoGrafI think the article should cover incidents across the entire year, as there hasn't been much prior to September hence that section wont be very big anyway. If unrest continues and develops into an internationally recognised uprising, or intifada, then another article should be set up: Third Intifada detailing the events onwards from September.Prohibited Area (talk) 16:15, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Its a matter of notability (per Misplaced Pages policy), and the October events are notable enough to warrant their own article. What happened before that earlier in the year can easily be placed in a Background section. EkoGraf (talk) 16:23, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
