Quick Grammar error/Typo
edit1. Could an authorised editor please make the following 2/1 character correction in the article lede? Sentence currently flips "direction" in its final third -- jarring for native English speakers. Thanks in advance.
NOW: "In total, of the 900,000 Jews who left Arab and other Muslim countries, 600,000 settled in the new state of Israel, and 300,000 immigrated to France and the United States."
BETTER AS: "~ 300,000 emigrated ~" Tom Segev's quote (footnote 300)
2. "if a man as well connected and powerful as Shafiq Ades could he eliminated by the state" - change "he" to "be"
Last paragraph in opening text
editI don't understand why this line is being removed
"sometimes positing a "malicious Zionist conspiracy" to explain the exodus."[1]
It was apparently removed for being POV but the main reference supporting it as an actual scholar and professor Philip Mendes, who has spent many years researching the Jewish expulsion from the MENA region. The main reference also has another 10 or so sources supporting it.

- What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):
− | In 1948, there were approximately | + | The 1932 national census put the country’s Jewish population at around 3,500. In 1948, there were approximately 5,200 - 20,000 Jews in Lebanon. |
- Why it should be changed:
- The current linked reference does not contain the number 24,000.
- The Jews Of Lebanon, Between Coexistence And Conflict, second edition in page 6 puts it at 5,200: "Thus, in 1948 the number of Jews had increased to 5,200 and by 1951 to 9,000, 6,961 of whom were Lebanese citizens."
- Sources close to the Near east report and AIPAC put it at 20,000, for example the jewish virtual library (JVL is WP:GUNREL though) or Myths and Facts 1976 A Concise Record of the Arab-Israeli Conflict (page 84)
- This jewcy opinion article says "the numbers seem to be closer to 10 – 14,000 than 24,000". It also mentions another now deleted opinion article which seems the source of the 24k claim.

- for the 1932 census numbers, it's in the Al Jazeera article here: Uncovering Lebanon’s Jewish past | Arts and Culture | Al Jazeera Bowad91017 (talk) 01:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- @M.Bitton Hi, since you replied to the other edit-request in this article. Could you please remove the 24k in the section for lebanon?
- Here is the reference used in the current version of the article: Beirut’s last Jews (ynetnews.com) It doesn't contain 24 at all. Bowad91017 (talk) 22:59, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Having reviewed the sources, I can confirm that the current source doesn't support the 24k figure. As for the proposed change, I'm not convinced that the 20k figure should be mentioned since the source is not strong, the jump from 3.5k to 20k in 16 years (without explanation) seems implausible and the claim is contradicted by two recent RS (Kirsten E. Schulze and Al-Jazeera). What is probably worth mentioning is the fact that the population increased in the 1950s due to the wave of immigration from Syria. Here's what I suggest:
The 1932 national census put the country’s Jewish population at around 3,500.[2] In 1948, there were approximately 5,200 Jews in Lebanon.[3] Their number increased after the first Arab-Israeli war to roughly 9,000 in 1951, including an estimated 2,000 Jewish asylum seekers.[3]
- I'll leave it here for you and others to review. M.Bitton (talk) 13:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
