Calls for the destruction of Israel
US and Israel flags burned in Iran in support of the October 7 Hamas attack
- ... that Hamas leaders have consistently called for the destruction of Israel, with Ghazi Hamad recently stating that Hamas intends to repeat the October 7 attacks until Israel is annihilated?

Created by Eladkarmel (talk). Self-nominated at 08:55, 9 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Calls for the destruction of Israel; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Given the ongoing situation, a more balanced hook would be appropriate. The sentence "... that Israeli leaders have consistently called for the destruction of Gaza (and Palestine)" would be equally valid and equally unbalanced. The only difference between the two statements is that one country is actively being destroyed right now. Onceinawhile (talk) 12:49, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Eladkarmel: I would recommend making an attempt to find more neutral sourcing and possibly other hooks, as you will face opposition from many editors. It’s best to bypass this opposition altogether by creating a hook based on the most neutral source you can find, and given the sources you are using right now, I would like to suggest you can do better.

- @Eladkarmel: Do you have any additional hooks to propose? If not, should this nomination be closed as withdrawn? Z1720 (talk) 19:02, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Z1720: The nomination should be failed (or closed) not because of the hooks, but because it has a neutrality maintenance tag which prevents a reviewer from passing it. This tag is highly unlikely to be removed before the DYK window closes. I think we need to be more proactive about failing disputed topics that are unlikely to be resolved during the DYK process.
