Protection edit
Why is this article extended and confirmed protected? no one would try to vandalize a geography related-article that is not a sensitive topic CityOfSails2 (talk) 09:33, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'd like an answer to this too. I think it might have something to do with geopolitics and the various Zionist WP farms[1] (like the guy below me). Elliott-AtomicInfinity (talk) 15:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- I too would like to understand why. I would like to make a contribution. Homerx007x (talk) 13:28, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
Because there's no country called "Palestine" and there never has been. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.46.151.135 (talk) 22:55, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Date notation not consistent edit
While reading through this article I noticed that at different points there are different notations in use for dates; it appears that both the BCE/CE notation and BC/AD notation are used at different points. It would be best to get this all switched to one notation (I would prefer the BCE/CE myself but I will leave that up to the discretion of someone with enough access to edit this).
