From what I can see, none of the sources here use the word "massacre" except one fleeting mention in the Guardian of "Palestinians condemning the raid as a massacre". Fails WP:COMMONNAME and pretty egregious case of WP:NPOV. Longhornsg (talk) 02:04, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Just going by the sources I could read (I am paywalled): 1. Washington Post calls it a raid, and quotes Saeb Erekat as calling it a massacre. 2. Human rights group Al-Haq calls it an attack. 3. Guardian calls it a raid and assault, and quotes Palestinians who called it a massacre and a war. 4. The New York Times calls it a raid and a war zone, and again 6. calls it a storming. For what it's worth, the short description currently calls it an assault. As senseless and tragic as it was for those who were killed, reading this article leaves one with the impression that this event falls short of a bonafide massacre, which is a large number of civilians targeted for death by an armed group, such as in the Farhud or at Sabra and Shatila. If other convincing sources turn up, I would be willing to reconsider, but as of now it looks more like a reprisal raid with a 'shoot first, ask questions later' type of mentality, with the ultimate aim of rounding up suspects and instilling fear, in which a limited number of uniformed personnel and others were killed.

There is a need for consistency here across Israeli-Palestinian conflict articles. There are a number of articles, including this one (but also Nir Yitzhak massacre, Holit massacre etc) where the word "massacre" is used in the title. In each of these cases there are some RS who do indeed use the word "massacre" and some do not, and of course, the word "massacre" is indeed loaded.VRtalk01:09, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To get the name of this article right, I would try to avoid any partisan source, be it Israeli or Palestinian. I don't think the editorial boards of the above publications could be considered either one, but el-Kurd certainly is. It's not as if we can attribute him either, since this is a title. The majority of these sources are using less charged descriptions than massacre, and I think there's a good reason for that. Havradimleaf a message06:01, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
