Consider changing "Jews" here to "Israelites": "Modern scholars argue that Jews branched out of the Canaanite peoples and culture." The word "Jew" is generally used from the Second Temple period onwards. Before the Babylonian exile, the correct term is Israelites. This is discussed in From the Maccabees to the Mishnah by Shaye J.D. Cohen pages 8-9. Isaachier (talk) 01:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- which specific line or phrase were you referring to in the article, though? Andre🚐 01:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Isaachier gave the line in question - it's the second sentence in the third paragraph of the lead. What I'm uncertain of (or I would make the change myself) is whether this change should require a consensus first. PianoDan (talk) 18:13, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Since this has gone unchallenged, I've made the change. Anyone can revert and discuss it here if there are objections. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:01, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

In the History section: "It remained under Islamic control through the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods, until it became part of the Ottoman Empire in 1517. In the modern period, Jerusalem was divided between Israel and Jordan after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War."
There is a large part missing that can add valuable context and historical completeness for Wikipedia readers. After 1517 and before the modern era, I suggest adding:
"After centuries under Ottoman rule (1517–1917), Jerusalem underwent modernization and became a center of European and Jewish immigration in the 19th century. [1] Following World War I, the city came under British control during the Mandate for Palestine (1922–1948), a period marked by significant urban development and rising tensions between Jews, Arabs, and the British authorities.
