Talk:Settler colonialism: Difference between revisions

<blockquote>While Israeli settlements aren't widely regarded as being an effort to "colonise" the territories which they occupy, there are allegations of that practice, involving the contentious nature of such settlements. It is worth noting that a number of international bodies, including the United Nations Security Council, the International Court of Justice, the European Union, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch and many legal scholars have characterized the settlements as a violation of international law, but other legal scholars, Israel, and the Anti-Defamation League disagree with this assessment. Opponents to the policy of Israeli settlements have characterized said efforts as being colonialism <ref>http://www.jmcc.org/debate/06/nov/nasserqidwa.htm</ref> even though the validity of either Israeli or Palestinian claims is a matter of an ensuing controversy.</blockquote>

Not only is most of the paragraph not about "settler colonialism", but the sole source used, [[Nasser al-Qidwa]], is a former Palestinian Foreign Minister making a political speech - hardly a reliable source for this kind of claim. In addition, editorial comments like "it is worth noting" are un-encyclopedic. Please make sure your sources are [[WP:V|reliable]], and please ensure that your text matches those sources.
