Under "late antiquity", the phrase "a task fraught with peril" seems a bit dramatic and editorializing. Recommend replacing with "difficult" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.21.76.216 ( talk) 17:30, 31 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Change "Berber Jews" to "Amazigh" or "Mizrachi." " Berber Jews" is not accurate or appropriate. HorshJewCrab ( talk) 00:42, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Why is it not accurate or appropriate? Brusquedandelion ( talk) 04:40, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Not done for now: According to the corresponding Wikipedia page:

"Berber Jews are the Jewish communities of the Maghreb, in North Africa, who historically spoke Berber languages. Between 1950 and 1970 most emigrated to France, the United States, or Israel."

Please provide either explicit reasoning or supporting sources. Otherwise, consider establishing a consensus. Then, we can reopen the request if actionable.

The Law of Return and the Zionist Campaign to Subvert Science

"Despite Jewish historians and scholars acknowledging that a significant portion of the Jewish people living around the globe converted to Judaism during the last millennium (and therefore are not descendants of the people of Judea), controversy still exists as to which group comprises genuine descendants of Judea, and which group comprises converts to Judaism."
