History

Jewish Colonization Association – let's link this

I am amazed that all of the "largest demonstrations" were reportedly 100,000 or near that in size. That be so, perhaps we could reword the sentence to something like: The largest demonstrations in the square included a May 2000 protest decrying the handover of Arab settlements adjacent to the Mount of Olives, a November 2000 protest against Ehud Barak's "policy of restraint" at the beginning of the Second Intifada, and a 2006 protest against the policies of acting prime minister Ehud Olmert, all of which drew around an estimated 100,000 people.
- Done Thanks, that's nice. Yoninah (talk)
Under "Terrorist attacks": consider linking incendiary device. I wouldn't quite call it a common term and the concept I found interesting.
- Done Yoninah (talk)
On July 4, 1975, ... killing 15 and wounding 77 – I found that the second provided reference (haaretz.com) supported all the claims in this sentence. The print source contains a broken link to Google Books. Up to you whether you want to ditch that source altogether, but if not you should remove or repair the link.
- Done I removed all the dead links here and elsewhere. Yoninah (talk)
Last sentence under "Terrorist attacks", The Jerusalem Post source link is dead. Again, the other two references seem to support the sentence, as far as I can tell.

Last sentence first paragraph: We should link "Old City"
