Protected class

[edit]

@Remsense I see you reverted my edit. The reason "Protected class" is ambiguous, is because it can be interpreted as something positive (e.g. royalty can also be considered a "protected class"). It clearly isn't.

No further context is provided about what this "protected class" actually entailed (i.e. second-class citizenship). It is therefore more appropriate to use the term second-class citizens + wiki hyperlink. Alternatively, one could directly use the term dhimmi status in the introduction.

I agree that the best solution is further elaboration—as it stands, the dynamic in many periods and locales where dhimmi were essentially cultivated as a necessary source of state income is too important to avoid mention entirely, and I would consider the present wording to be less misleading.

Thank you for your quick reply.
Would you then agree that the following phrasing is more accurate: "in that Jews had dhimmi status."
While I think it is more accurate and appropriate, I'm not sure if it is proper English. Roffaduft (talk) 08:28, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
where Jews had dhimmi status would be perfectly fine by me. Remsense ‥  08:40, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ref Idea

[edit]

Moved down from the template so that it does not sit there forever and editors have a place to discuss, should they wish to do so —

The following references may be useful when improving this article in the future:

Bloch, René (2016-11-28). "Ancient Anti-Semitism". Oxford Bibliographies. doi:10.1093/obo/9780199840731-0140. Patrick (talk) 21:01, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cease coverage at the end of the 20th century?

[edit]

The section here, History_of_antisemitism#Twenty-first_century, is very weak, and the material is already covered much better at Antisemitism#Contemporary_antisemitism. We could alert readers to this with a hatnote at the top of the article. Thoughts?

Final section?

[edit]

History_of_antisemitism#Antisemitism_in_the_English-speaking_world is a long description of a single essay. Aside from being WP:UNDUE, it breaks with the structure of our TOC. Eliminating this would also help with length of the article body, which at 12,460 words, is at odds with WP:TOOBIG.

But does anyone have any ideas of what to do with it? Doesn't appear to be notable enough to be its own article, but this much material is probably also undue at William Rubinstein.

Bias

[edit]

this a very biased and terroristic way of viewing the Occupied Palestine Conflict. the Zionist terrorist regime have been slaughtering Semite babies and women for almost a 100 years yet you ignore that in your description. in 1948 Nazi Israeli terrorist stole the homes of over 750,000 Palestinians (Semites) and forced them into refugee camps. and even up to this day, the Zionist terrorist group destroys the refugee camps while kidnapping 1000s of Semitic children with no charges, no legal representation. and no visitation from their parents.. October 7th 2023 was a justified retaliation towards an apartheid Occupying terrorist group in which 100s of the 1200 killed, were in fact killed by the Nazi IDF terrorist.. 70.61.20.126 (talk) 17:50, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please take some time to familiarize yourself with the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia, in particular, WP:NPOV. I will also leave a note about edit warring on your talk page. Thanks, Patrick (talk) 18:00, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
