Allegation falsely stated as fact
[edit]This section falsely presents as fact the allegation that IDF snipers killed the two Catholic women: "Since the start of the ongoing Israel–Hamas war in October 2023, there have been several incidents involving Palestinian Christians in the Gaza Strip, most notably the Church of Saint Porphyrius airstrike and the killing of two Catholic women by an Israeli sniper in the Holy Family Parish in northern Gaza."
In reality this is contested, which is notable since the IDF frequently admits when it mistakenly kills civilians. See https://www.foxnews.com/world/idf-rebuffs-accusations-killed-two-women-church-gaza-investigation-continues.

Change the word nationalistically; incorrect usage of this adverb. This is actually a disparaging word meant 'with too much pride in ones country.' If the author meant to use it as nationalism or nationalistic still erroneous for the usage; Palestinian Christians or Christian Arabs. Arab is not a nationality it's an ethnicity. Possibly could use identity of Palestinian Christians as ethno-religious or ethno-national. 47.149.190.252 (talk) 18:29, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I've removed "nationalistically" from that sentence. I also think we could use more sources for that section. Much of it is based on a book source that I'm unable to access and verify. Here is the revision where the text was introduced. – Anne drew 03:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Adding map depciting 1945 census results
[edit]Hello, I have uploaded a map depicting the share of Christians in Mandatory Palestine according to the 1945 census (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Christians.png) . I was wondering whether it be possible to add the image to the article.

Denominations
[edit]In the denominations section, it says 50% are Orthodox (without a source) but on the page Arab Citizens of Israel, it doesn’t even have Orthodox listed in the infobox. How can that be? Thepharoah17 (talk) 06:45, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
Lacking information about Christian persecution by islamists in gaza
[edit]There have been fire store bombings that have killed people, hamas has desecrated Christian bodies they don’t believe are deserving to be buried on their land, and Christian’s are treated as second class citizens, with the women needing to adopt Islamic dress or face violent/sexual crimes against them. 2600:100E:B21A:7BF8:F179:9445:F04B:BB2C (talk) 23:03, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

In "Christians of Gaza", change
While some reports claim that Christians in Gaza freely practice their religion and may observe all the religious holidays in accordance with the Christian calendars followed by their churches. other reports claim forceful conversion to Islam, public insults, kidnapping, fear of radical Islamist groups, and vandalism.
