I have no reason to doubt the material. I have good reason to doubt its appropriateness in a page on a major historical city. There is a very long article one could write on intercommunal frictions, with swathes of material on Christian antisemitism, Jewish intolerance, Muslim hostilities. Do we need this. If the Ottomans placed butcheries there strategically to annoy Christians and Muslims (one source) I suppose people are going to strive for balance by harvesting the literature for other material about butcheries and sectarian strife to achieve balance, when the simple thing to do is keep this subtle tilting of edits towards negative stereotypes, off the page. I happen to know a bit about butcheries there, and this immediately came to mind. Neither it nor Jayjg's piece from Gilbert is appropriate in my view. I.,e.

<blockquote>‘The Ashkenazim in Jerusalem form a kind of caste apart, so to speak, and have almost nothing in common with their fellow Jews of the Sephardi rite. Their community is entirely distinct from ours: they have their own revenues, their own tax on meat, their ''shohetim'', their temples, and their schools. They are much more intransigent than the Sephardim for a good number of the latter buy their meat from Ashkenazi butchers, but an Ashhkenazi would never buy meat from a Sephardi butcher: this meat is even considered ] (ritually unclean) according to the interpretation of the law of most Ashkenazi doctors. Concerning the question of instruction, they are absolutely inflexible. From the top to the bottom of the hierarchy, the teaching of any and all profane subjects is declared to be blasphemy against the Law of Moses.. instead of the Bible, it is the Talmud that they scour and scrutinize in all of its parts;. They are still and for a long time to come, the outstanding representatives of the spirit of obscurantism and conservatism.'

::::Actually I did. Is the art of reading so totally consigned to desuetude? 4 hundred years of Ottoman history 21 lines, 10% on the tannery and slaughter-houses as an insult to Jews and Christians. The tanneries of Jerusalem, like those in Hebron, have a long history (Jerusalem's goes back at least to Ge hinnom, and like all tanneries and slaughter houses were primarily located where spring water sources were abundant. The location here is not 'Ottoman' but goes back to a legend about Saladin's insult to the Crusaders' palace, pre-Ottoman. You'll find this vignette all over 19th century literature, written to rouse outrage among evangelizing Christians and Jews abroad. It was if anything aimed originally at the order of the Knights of St.John. By all means make a fork and write the history of butcheries and tanneries in Jerusalem. That in an article on a city boasting 4000 years of history, one finds room for one 'Turkish' insult to infidels is interesting, but creates a precedent for the numerous insults, structural and otherwise, hurled by all 3 communities at each other. You are opening up a can of worms.

In May/June 2013, there was a Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Jerusalem about the lead section of this article. This discussion was mandated by the Arbitration Committee, and its result remained binding for three years (until January 2016). While the binding results of this RfC have now expired, this page is subject to the following page-level sanction: As the results of Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Jerusalem regarding the article's lead represent the community's consensus at a well-attended discussion, a new request for comments must be undertaken and reach consensus prior to any changes being made to the article's lead section. Editors editing the lead without consensus from an RfC are subject to sanctions such as page or topic bans or being blocked from editing. Reverts of blatant and obvious vandalism or edits made in violation of this sanction are exempt from this restriction.
Warning: active arbitration remedies

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 13 September 2024

Consider changing "Jews" here to "Israelites": "Modern scholars argue that Jews branched out of the Canaanite peoples and culture." The word "Jew" is generally used from the Second Temple period onwards. Before the Babylonian exile, the correct term is Israelites. This is discussed in From the Maccabees to the Mishnah by Shaye J.D. Cohen pages 8-9. Isaachier (talk) 01:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

which specific line or phrase were you referring to in the article, though? Andre🚐 01:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
@Isaachier gave the line in question - it's the second sentence in the third paragraph of the lead. What I'm uncertain of (or I would make the change myself) is whether this change should require a consensus first. PianoDan (talk) 18:13, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Since this has gone unchallenged, I've made the change. Anyone can revert and discuss it here if there are objections. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:01, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Jerusalem as capital in Islamic era

In the History section: "It remained under Islamic control through the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods, until it became part of the Ottoman Empire in 1517. In the modern period, Jerusalem was divided between Israel and Jordan after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War."

There is a large part missing that can add valuable context and historical completeness for Misplaced Pages readers. After 1517 and before the modern era, I suggest adding:

"After centuries under Ottoman rule (1517–1917), Jerusalem underwent modernization and became a center of European and Jewish immigration in the 19th century. Following World War I, the city came under British control during the Mandate for Palestine (1922–1948), a period marked by significant urban development and rising tensions between Jews, Arabs, and the British authorities. " Niho rei (talk) 12:39, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Not done for now: I'm happy with the text. I would prefer better sources, Britannica is sometimes acceptable and I think it might be here but I'd be more comfortable with other sources. Ultraodan (talk) 11:37, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
