Hi folks. Can someone add this photo to the article which is in the Hebrew language article(https://he.wikipedia.org/%D7%98%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%A8_%D7%99%D7%94%D7%95%D7%93%D7%99_%D7%91%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%9C)?:
*'''Support:''' per the above and the first sentence of the which defines the subject as terrorism by "extremists within Judaism", and considering the important point that almost all terrorism is on some level partly political, so purely "religious terrorism" is a bit of a misnomer and practically non-existent in practice. The actual examples on this page are deeply entwined with politics. ] (]) 19:32, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
*'''Support''' I think arguments above and in ongoing discussions at ] have shown some consensus for these these sorts of changes. ]<sup>]</sup> 01:24, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
*'''Support''' --06:56, 5 September 2023 (UTC)--] (])
*'''Support''' Existing title is unusual/strange. There's many ways to interpret "religious terrorism" - does it mean motivated by religious belief or terrorising the religion of others? Unclear and fails CRIT Naturalness. Proposed title is clear and straightforward. ] (]) 10:31, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
::Actually, it's not clear and straightforward. Given that Jewishness is both a religion and an ancestry, we are removing clarity by removing religion from the title. Maybe religion is wrong, but that's another matter. ] (]) 00:07, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
*'''Move to ]''' per ] for consistency with ]. And per ], as all terrorists are, by definition, extremists. Which makes "extremist terrorism" redundant. ] (]) 04:16, 8 September 2023 (UTC) ] (]) 04:14, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
*:If a consensus supports this proposed move, I'll propose a similar move from ] to ] and from ] to ]. Per ] we should not associate terrorism generally with a religious group or ethnicity, but only with an extreme wing of it. NPOV is a core policy, whereas ] is not. ] (]) 05:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
*::Agreed. I think it would be premature to go on a spree of move requests when you don't know the outcome here. ]<sup>]</sup> 05:46, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
*:We need to consider this aspect also: Both religious terrorism and extremist terrorism involve the use of violence for ideological purposes, the key distinction lies in the primary motivation and targets. Religious terrorism is driven by religious beliefs and often targets those perceived as threats to those beliefs, while extremist terrorism can be rooted in various ideologies and may have a broader range of targets. It's important to note that not all religious individuals or extremist groups engage in terrorism, and the majority of religious and extremist movements are non-violent. --] (]) 06:28, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
*::The latter point is not a source of confusion; these articles ''are'' about terrorism, not about non-violent extremists. To the first point I would reiterate that "]" is itself a disputed term. The more NPOV synonym for terrorism is "political violence", and the reason for this is that the word terrorism contains the sense of violence for political ends. Political violence by groups with religious sympathies is still political violence; why they might be inspired by religious ideology (in the same way that domestic terrorism might be inspired by xenophobia), the end result is still violence with a political goal - making a political statement, changing the conversation or public opinion, intimidating political opponents or attempting to effect the structures of government themselves. In contrast, it is hard to think of an example of something that might be construed as ''pure'' "religious terrorism" without some sort of political end. On this page, the Zealots explicitly instigated a rebellion against Rome; it was political in the extreme. ] (]) 07:03, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
* '''Move to ]'''. I'm in agreement with the consistency and concision point sraised by Rreagan007. The status quo has the modifier "religious" which serves little purpose, unless there's more ethnically but non-religiously Jewish terrorism out there than I'm aware of. The proposed modifier "extremist" is redundant to "terrorism". I'm sympathetic to NightHeron's view on needing to associate terrorist acts with the extremists, not whole religions, but this is the job of the articles and leads, not the titles. I suppose we could have a discussion about moving all "X terrorism" to "X extremist terrorism", but I don't think it'll help. ] (] / ]) 13:26, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
*'''Comment''': Note that a move request to ] was discussed in the previous thread earlier this year and failed to get consensus. ] (]) 02:50, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
*'''Move to ]''' per ], there is already ] and ]. Or, potentially as pointed out in the lead of the ] article, that's not a good term and we could rename them all "X extremist terrorism". We should probably consider these three things and their associated list articles etc together. But for now I'd say ] takes precedence before that discussion takes place ] (]) 15:16, 13 September 2023 (UTC)


*'''Suggestion.''' I'm not sure I agree with the new name, but the current name definitely needs some work. I can see the merit behind specifying "religious", however, as some might make a distinction between their race/ethnonationalism and their religious practices which is somewhat unique to the demographic. However, this might only be necessary to prevent confusion with another potential "Jewish racial terrorism" page which I don't think exists. Maybe ]? not sure. However, it is interesting that this page is called "political violence". As you suggest, "terrorist" is not very neutral and probably should be replaced with "extremist" or something. ] (]) 17:10, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
*'''Move to "Jewish terrorism"''' per MarkiPoli. Either way, the current title is clearly not consistent with the other religious terrorism articles, nor is it neutral. ] ] 01:57, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

] → {{no redirect|Jewish terrorism}} – This current page title is at odds with the literature on the subject, which in no uncertain terms and without caveats uses the phrase "Jewish terrorism". This is not a controversial or even contested phrase; far from it, it is the only phrase with substantial usage on the subject – see and also the - most of the titles of which speak for themselves. The term is used both as an academic term in the context of history, and as a very present-day term to refer to certain groups within modern Jewish society, as exemplified by the issued in August 2024 by the Israeli intelligence chief. So this language is neither novel, nor non-current. More broadly, terrorism ''is'' extremism by default, so the insertion of "extremist" here (by wiki community invention and intervention) is grossly redundant and tautologous – hence why it finds so little currency among subject-matter experts. ] (]) 17:35, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

*'''Leaning support''': We seem to have {{-r|Christian terrorism}} and {{-r|Hindu terrorism}} and {{-r|Islamic terrorism}} as article titles, but this one has "extremist" inserted into it for no clear reason that I can see. The suggested title is more ] and ]. As far as I can guess, the extra word is just unnecessary ]. —⁠ ⁠] (]) 19:20, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

*::So yes, this has been pointed out before, but it isn't a reason to ignore the sourcing on the subject and come up with original, unconcise terminology. To look at it from the opposite direction, there is no Tamil, Basque or Uyghur religion, and those identities aren't religion-based, so there is also a reason for different treatment here from these other terms. ] (]) 03:52, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
:* '''Comment''' I’ve generally felt that ] as an article title isn’t right, but I would note that this article links to ] when describing Jewish extremism.

King David Hotel bombing

Is there any reason why this terrorist bombing isn't mentioned in the article? TarnishedPath 09:42, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

It is my understanding from the introduction of this article that it concerns religious-motivated terrorism,and the bombing of the King David Hotel is more of a nationalist character than a religious one. עמית לונן (talk) 19:10, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

The lead only states that religious terrorism is included, not that other forms of terrorism are excluded. TarnishedPath 23:31, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
That what appears from the categories and templates in which this article is included.
A separate article concerning the more national or ethnic character of Jewish political violence/terrorism is in existence,in which the incident is addressed.
