Wars according to whom?

As best as I can tell, these "14 wars" are defined by the gaps between them when there was relative calm in Israel. In some cases, these gaps were still violence-filled on the Gaza side of the conflict zone, yes? For example, the violence during the 2018–2019 Gaza border protests is not judged to be a war by this article's standards. Similarly the Blockade of the Gaza Strip is considered an act of war by many in opposition to Israel. If this article is to be from Israel's point of view (or however else you might want to name that perspective) shouldn't we be up front about that in the lede? — $Q$ uantling (talk | contribs) 15:35, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Whole article is biased

this whole article is written/modified with anti Israrl bias. It fails to mention whom started the wars really and fails to mention that 1948 war was started by arab nations and it was those nations which caused refugee problem. And so on. This is NOT objective article and smells a lot just like other Hamas propaganda articles in the Wikipedia. Which are proved. This article should be removed or at least stringly edited. 2001:999:504:AF20:18C4:F824:58BD:E683 (talk) 12:59, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Any list of events will be sure to elicit descriptions of bias because there have been so many very significant things that have happened over the decades ... and any omission can be thought of as a bias in favor of one side or another. I think the solution in this article is to be as comprehensive as possible. So, yes indicate who started the war in year YYYY, if there are sources to back that and it is not already in the article, but also include the opposing point of view ... usually that some earlier event is the cause of what happened in YYYY. (And recursively for what caused that; though I'd write it all in forward chronological order.) Only by including all of this do we have a good chance of minimizing the number of accusations of bias. At least that's how I see it. —

well when one side is doing an ethnic cleansing it sure will seem biased if you can't accept the facts. 2601:18C:4200:42B0:B516:E894:E552:74F2 (talk) 22:40, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
