Fix wrong links
In the article it says "Christians are called Nasrani (the Arabic word Nazarene) or Masihi (a derivative of Arabic word Masih, meaning "Messiah")."
First, Nazarene is not the Arabic word as the article seems to claim. Second, it should be linked to
Nazarene (sect). If someone can volunteer to check the offline source for clarification on this. For a better spelling of Nasrani I suggest it should be "Naṣrani" with a dot below the "s".

Opening
The first line defines Palestinian Christians as Christian citizens of the State of Palestine, but I would have thought they were, and the article elsewhere seems to treat them as,
Palestinians who are
Christians. The lead sentence is certainly recentist, but I don't know enough about citizenship of the State of Palestine to touch it.

The line for Issa Al-Issa, founder of Filastin newspaper, cites its founding as in "Jaffa, Palestine" in 1909. In 1909 Jaffa was part of the Ottoman Empire, and it was part of the Sanjak of Jerusalem, also called the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem. There was no "Palestine" region, administratively or legally, at that time. This is analogous to citing "Charleston, Appalachia" rather than "Charleston, West Virginia" or "Charleston, WV, USA". It should be edited to reflect this: "Jaffa, Ottoman Empire", or "Jaffa, Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem" to be accurate.

Palestine was not the name of a formal political division, but it was the informal name of the region. In English writing of the time, it is hard to find anything else.

Errors in article
considering the IDF being more lenient with the Christians, I would say it isn't true. My village fully Christian and in the Galilee was massacred and expelled. Massacre of Ilabun

Is there any evidence of this? I don’t mean to be rude, but it’s Wikipedia in the time of sustained information warfare.. anyone can say anything, so without additional context your comment looks like propaganda.

See
Eilabun massacre. Both of you need to read
WP:ARBECR. There is a difference between these comments. 185.53.41.59 has made what amounts to an edit request presumably referring to the statement "More lenience was applied to the Christians of the Galilee" in this Palestinian Christians article. You, 49.185.179.55, have commented on it. This is not allowed by the remedies. You can make a different edit request but you can't join this one. Only extendedconfirmed editors can respond.

The percentage and population
This
edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
change the percentage (6%) to (25%-30%) because it’s completely inaccurate and biased for us Palestinian Christians to be only “6%” 6% is only 800,000 of the Palestinian population but Chile alone has around 500,000 Palestinian Christians, and most countries in South America has at least 100,000 Palestinian Christians also I’m not sure how to type my source in because I’m new to Wikipedia

Alright but before that, may I please see your source for Palestinians being 6% (with all respect) ❤️

but it’s inaccurate, we need to use logic in this case it literally says they’re roughly 400k but chile alone has over 500,000 Palestinian Christians and the Palestinian Christians are over 4 million world wide in which the majority of them are residing in southern America and other Latin countries. Palestinian Christians have been immigrating there since the times of the Ottoman Empire until now. day by day many of us immigrate due to the conditions of the conflict between us and israel. Cities in the north and coast of israel had a Christian Palestinian majority in which they were driven out, murdered and expelled to lebanon mostly, during the Cammile Chamoun era he gave Lebanese citizenships to almost every Palestinian Christian refugee.

Unfortunately, logic like that probably constitutes
original research, and even if we accept this logic, then we can at most conclude that the actual percentage might not be 6% without actually proving your claim of 25%-30%. What we need is a direct statement from a
reliable source along the lines of "25%-30% of Palestinians are Christians", or at least a set of values from which we can calculate the percentage using simple division (per
WP:CALC). You also need to provide a source for the claim that Chile has over 500,000 Palestinian Christians.

translate the second source if you’re not a arabic speaker.
Jajajasss (

The first source is a personal website without an identifiable publisher, which falls under
WP:UGC and hence is considered generally unacceptable. The second source is another Wikipedia article, which again falls under
WP:UGC. Besides, the article uses the same source mentioned above to support the statement "...constitutes 6%-30% of Palestinians worldwide", even though the source only mentions"...roughly 6.5% of all Palestinians".

Edward Said should be added to the list of notable Palestinian Christians
(1935-2003) Edward Wadie Said was a Palestinian American academic of Christian Palestinian descent. He was a founder of post-colonial studies and a professor of literature at Columbia University. Born in Jerusalem, Said’s memoir ‘Out of Place’ reveals how his early life influenced his books ‘Orientalism’ and ‘Culture and Imperialism’.
