Greece

Greece did not support Israel in the 1973 war, it declared neutrality and didn't allow the U.S. to use its bases for the airlift, it should be removed from the infobox. -- 2804:29B8:5183:100C:D1BA:C8A:C094:DF5B (talk) 22:36, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Update info in the Template

In the Israeli side,

There are over 5,000 Israeli civilian victims. Only in 1947-2022 over 4,200 Israeli civilians were killed, not including over 800 Israeli civilians were killed in 2023. Showing less than 1,800 Israeli civilians were killed is misleading. IdanST (talk) 16:27, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

In the Arab side, the most recent estimate of Arab deaths in the Israel–Hamas war is 186,000. Source: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.129.246.100 (talk) 23:57, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

The 186,000 number is not 'the most recent estimate of Arab deaths in the Israel–Hamas war'. It is a projection based on a various assumptions. Sean.hoyland (talk) 08:05, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Subset

@Parham wiki: What argument are you basing this claim on? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict dates back to early 1900s, meanwhile first instance of the Arab-Israeli conflict came later around 1920. Also, Jordan and Egypt making peace with Israel clearly hasn't solved the IP conflict. Makeandtoss (talk) 13:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Palestinians are Arabs, not Arabs are Palestinians. Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the core of this conflict. Parham wiki (talk) 04:11, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Portugal involvement?

can anyone let me know what was Portugal's involvement in the conflict? 93.102.33.60 (talk) 10:28, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Double check death toll source?

Not too harsh on me if this is an obvious non-issue.

Citation 18 leads to a (ridiculously biased, but that's besides the point) website that has uncited death tolls for its totals.

The figures they give aren't too wild, save for a couple thousand inflated up or down but I do want to know where it actually sources its figures from. MagiTagi (talk) 15:05, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

The source has been removed here. See the JVL entry at Misplaced Pages:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources. JVL is designated as 'generally unreliable' in Misplaced Pages. Sean.hoyland (talk) 01:20, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
That JVL article is a fine example of why JVL should not be used as a source. Zero 01:21, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
