Talk:Hamastan

Source 📝

3387:" was the unofficial anthem of China for several years). "Red China" only becomes derogatory by implication when it's used with an intent to imply that the People's Republic of China is not the legitimate government of China. By contrast, the word Hamastan just by its form alone (Persian suffix, non-Arabic morphological pattern, strange inexplicable haplology) strongly indicates that it's outlandishly un-Arabic. I don't know if it was originally intended to be derogatory, but the Israeli coiner of the word was obviously a whole lot more concerned with coining a rough-and-ready catchphrase for use in political analysis than he was with respecting Arab cultural and linguistic traditions -- and it shows... 2466:
provided by Jaakobou above make it pretty clear that sometimes it is not pejorative. Yes, that's original research: based only on that we can't say in the article "sometimes it's not pejorative", but we can nevertheless consider that information while writing the article. Most words do not have sources stating that the word is not pejorative: it wouldn't be reasonable for us to require that. I suggest using prose attribution: that is, say something like "Source X states that the term is pejorative" (whatever statement can be reasonably based on the source). We don't present opinions as fact just because no source explicitly states the opposite opinion.
1228:"That pejorative use of the suffix -stan to describe a place largely populated by Muslims — in 1990, Islamistan — was applied by Time magazine to the city of London in 2001: “So many volunteers to the bin Laden cause use the British capital as a base between visits to Afghan camps that French antiterrorist officials now call the city ‘Londonistan.’ ” In 2006, The Weekly Standard wondered who, if our efforts in Iraq did not succeed, “would take the trouble to ensure that some portions of Iraqi territory do not become little al Qaeda-stans?” U.S. News & World Report discovered Hamastan at about the same time The New Yorker coined Hezbollistan." 3130:. Sources which are not hostile to the Palestinians have no qualms about using the term as a short descriptive for Hamas' control. The control itself, many believe is and, I feel that, finding the term offensive is a subjective matter rather than source based. I wouldn't mind a secondary review on sources but the ones I've picked up cannot (in my opinion at least) be viewed as an attempt to ridicule Hamas or Gaza. Anyways, another one-two uninvolved people sharing your perspective would be a quick end to this RfC :) 1215:"At the turn of the new millennium, attention was called to newly independent states on the fringe of the former Soviet Union — Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan — which the BBC identified as “collectively known as the Central Asian ‘stans.’ ” They were derogated by Stephen Kotkin in The New Republic in 2002 as “a dreadful checkerboard of parasitic states and statelets, government-led extortion rackets and gangs in power, mass refugee camps and shadow economies. Welcome to Trashcanistan.” 2838:
legitimate descriptor. I don't agree that the Haaretz piece uses the term in a neutral way; the thrust of the piece is that it is unfortunate and wrong that Gaza should be split at all, and both "Hamastan" and "Fatahstan" have negative connotations there. The Guardian piece uses quotation marks around the name to acknowledge that it is a politically charged, partisan term. And even al-Zahar's "positive" use of the word appears to be at least tongue in cheek. I think
102: 336: 81: 112: 1493:- I just read the entire discussion and don't see how an opinion piece by the columnist William Safire can be interpreted as set in stone. In fact, opinion pieces in general should not be used to source facts. It is clear that not everyone thinks that the term is pejorative, as proven by the link that Jaakobou provided. Hamastan is a term widely-used by the Israeli media, including the left-wing Haaretz ( 223: 202: 50: 233: 2348:- what is now being dubbed "Hamastan" will not only be physically cut off from their compatriots in the West Bank but will also be ruled by a movement that advocates armed resistance and is boycotted by Israel and the international community," says the paper's Middle East editor. "Neither side will be in a position to conduct negotiations with Israel or anyone else." 21: 3635:
country or region, and some Arabs would find it objectionable. The form حماستان is actually linguistically objectionable from several points of view, when considered in the light of standard traditional "correct" Arabic (not just the choice of the -stan suffix), and in any case "Hamastan" was not actually first created as an English neologism..
818:), but "Hamas" is of course originally an Arabic word, while the "-stan" suffix has an accepted standard spelling in Arabic script (as found in the Arabic names of countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan). Hamastan may have started out in Hebrew in 2004, but حماستان seems to be all over the Arabic media in the last week or so... 1947:
gave a proposed compromise. Consider that the relevant sources are one opinion column and one official spokesperson with opposing perspectives. Add to this the note about Haaretz using the term without and you come to the conclusion that there is no single perspective to consider the term and this is a good compromise.
2353:- As the dramatic news broke there was already excited talk of the Islamist movement "proving its credibility" and of the hope that with Johnston now finally free, the siege on Hamas could be lifted too. If Hamastan is seen to be functioning, this line of thinking goes, then Hamastan can break out of its isolation. 3494:
that it is used as a "quick and easy denominator" is OR. two sources which discuss the term refer to it as a pejorative and a "boo word." if you have a RS that states it is a ""quick and easy denominator," please cite it. otherwise this is your personal interpretation and not supported by sources.
3466:
No one said it was a neutral term so I'm not following the attack on fellow editors' intentions. The issue is whether it is first and foremost a pejorative (e.g. like Amerikkka) or that it is also used without pejorative intentions as a quick and easy denominator (see above samples). Well... it seems
3173:
The term is undoubtedly negative, but it is not a "pejorative" as it lacks an element of ridicule, mocking or belittling. The term is used to indicate that a Hamas regime would be radical and repressive, traits that are perceived by the speaker to characterize some of the "-stan" countries, primarily
3028:
Oh certainly Tim, no one was suggesting Hamas wanted to rename the region to Hamastan but only that they are not offended by it's use as a nickname for the area as it means, to them, that they are the organization in control. The use is "approvingly" as in - not offended by - but certainly not as the
1297:
The source is an opinion piece which explains that the term has been used in a pejorative manner outside of it's normative use. The opinion of said writer is no more important than that of Hamas co-founder (and it would be easy to argue the opposite). Elonka has recently explained to you how material
3549:
Ignoring the attacks on the "spades" (as this has been called), I'm not sure this is a case of original research and it seems far more basic English understanding of the text. The term is (a) used, and (b) explained immediately after. Two sources put it in the context of "boo" words and I agree that
3450:
I came here in response to the RfC. This is a no-brainer. Hamastan is clearly not a neutral term. It has no official status (a Hamas spokesman trying to dispute the prejudice behind the word in the middle of an interview does not count as adoption, for heaven's sake), and is clearly a "boo-word", as
3432:
Whatever, dude -- I'm getting really, really tired of being told that something which I know for a fact is important is somehow supposedly not important by people who seem to know a whole lot less than I do about the specfic subject matter in question. The best way I can explain it in non-technical
3279:
Like I said in my last comment, even if Hamas members are insulted by the etymology of "-stan", that has no bearing on the question at hand. In any case, the idea that they are is at present no more than your own opinion; we have zero evidence for it, and we have evidence (admittedly limited) to the
2807:
Hamas' position, as part of the Iran-Syrian-Muslim Brotherhood-al-Jazeera group is viewed poorly by most others who are involved in the Israeli-Arab conflict and this includes Egypt, Jordan and Morocco and not only Western countries. The Hamastan term itself was not the one being given a bad context
2556:
Ugh, the more I read this crap article, the worse I think it is. The vital claim of notability, "Since 2007, the term has been used to refer to its 2007 victory in Gaza over Fatah in the inter-Palestinian conflict," is cited to a source saying nothing of the kind. An offhand comment by one Hamas guy
2291:
Safire adds that other pejorative uses of -stan exist as well, like describing a place as being largely populated by Muslim when this is not the case (Islamistan/Londonistan — applied by Time magazine to the city of London -- came from French antiterrorist officials). Another mentioned use, which is
1724:
If this is about the chance that Hamas will call their territory Hamastan officially, then we have no quarrel as I think that will (almost certainly) never happen. The only issue here is if in their perspective, it is a pejorative - which it is not. Hamas co-founder said they see no problem with the
3634:
The suffix "-ia" actually has an accepted counterpart in Arabic (as in the Arabic names of "Libya" and "Syria"), so that's a non-issue. More importantly, if you had been reading above, you would have noticed that it's not at all usual to give the suffix "-stan" to an Arab-ruled and Arabic-speaking
2926:
If I'm not mistaken, both the sources you are mentioning in this comment are already linked in your rebuttal and you've already mentioned your points for disagreement with me. Please allow me to post questions/comments to others without jumping on my case with the same issues you've raised already.
2787:
um, yeah, i read them. how you can say that even those articles use the term "favorably" is beyond comprehension. your unique interpretation of sources does not trump the other ones that explicitly say "that pejorative use of the suffix -stan to describe a place largely populated by Muslims" and
2505:
I'm going to avoid directly opining on this RfC, but I must ask, why on earth do we have this article at all? The article doesn't have a single source that is actually about the term "Hamastan." The sources are simply articles about real subjects which contain brief mentions of the term. The Safire
2281:
The column by William Safire source is an interesting opinion piece which explains that the -stan suffix has been used in a pejorative manner outside of it's normative "place of" usage by Stephen Kotkin who commented that, areas in newly independent states on the fringe of the former Soviet Union —
1472:
Because his intended meaning was presumably mainly to indicate that the idea of a Hamas-ruled state was a good idea, and not to fully take as his own the particular word "Hamastan" (which sounds linguistically somewhat grotesque to many Arabic speakers, and which furthermore doesn't really fit with
1254:
The problem is that it's still a single op-ed and we have a more notable opinion by Hamas co-founder. I could agree to moving that text down but the neutral way of registering the nature of the term is 'controversial' as there's a disagreement towards the use. To be frank, I believe current version
3212:
Arabic and Persian may sound somewhat similar to you, but from the point of view of Arabic speakers, there can be a quite definite pejorative connotation resulting from just the use of a Persian suffix to name an Arab land by itself alone (quite independent of the specific associations attached to
2872:
Actually, I'm fairly certain that the quotation marks are used to show that it is not an official name and that people are unhappy to see the Palestinians splitting has no bearing on the name. I'd appreciate an explanation on how the Hamas co-founder's use of the word is viewed by you as "at least
2299:
Safire mentions the naming a place as "al Qaeda-stans" (if the movement takes over it) or mentioning that U.S. News & World Report discovered Hamastan at about the same time The New Yorker coined Hezbollistan but Safire does not actually make any statement if Hamastan has pejorative intentions
1946:
If there's better suggetsions, I'm open to consider them as long as they include Hamas' perspective on the matter. Please note that there's a crude consensus towards 'controversial' as it was suggested also by fellow wikipedia admin Ynhockey and was not objected to by Anonmoos once I explained and
1884:
Two editors, one of which is an admin, noted to you the value of op-ed articles and we're still calling it a pejorative in the very next paragraph. Can you accept this compromise or do you want to take this argument all the way to ARBCOM? Please stop repeating the same argument ignoring the points
1531:
The -stan suffix is not grotesque. It is a naming convention for Islamic territories under control of X group. i.e. if an Islamic group/tribe with the name X is in control of an area, it is sometimes referred to as X-stan. The term becomes a pejorative only when intended as one (e.g. 'Londonistan'
720:
I'm afraid it is kind of derogatory -- Mahmud al-Zahar can accept it as shorthand for "Islamist Palestinian state in which Hamas would predominate" in the context of a journalistic interview, but I seriously doubt whether it's a term that the Hamas leadership would ever use spontaneously to define
3294:
I think that how Arabic speakers perceive the word could have a lot of relevance to the issue at hand. Furthermore, you may consider all this to be purely subjective, but if you found that your own chosen political ideology / political party / religious denomination was known worldwide by a name
2837:
I am not deeply familiar with Israel/Palestine politics or with Hamas, so this opinion is based chiefly on the sources that have been cited in this talk page: it does seem to me that most of these sources use "Hamastan" as at least a dismissive term if not an epithet, so I think "pejorative" is a

The warmest of regards to you too. I have not removed it (except from the lead), and I think you agree that a sole off-the-cuff remark from an interview with a magazine reporter does not give anything official status. As for your request to explain William Safire's thinking when he deems the term
3582:
It is quite common to give oriental muslim countries a name with the suffix "-stan" (Pakistan, Afghanistan Turkmenistan and so on), as it usual to give european and other western countries names with the ending "-ia", even if it´s name in the native language is constructed in another way (slawic

Jakkobou, there is no evidence that it is not pejorative (I've pointed out the cynicism in interpreting that Hamas interview as evidence), and positive evidence that it is. Suggesting that those who go against the evidence in reliable sources in order to promote such terms in such a rhetorically
2989:
I think the quote is "tongue in cheek" because neither al-Zahar nor anyone else in Hamas has proposed or argued elsewhere that the region should actually change its name to "Hamastan". I think therefore that it is not a task that they are actually pursuing. I think that you are right that they

of the available sources. We have a reliable source that says the term is pejorative, and your position that it's not seems insufficiently sourced. You claim the term has been "approved" by Hamas, but I don't think there's support in policy for interpreting an offhand remark by a Hamas member as
2033:
Jaakaobou, please don't cite me as accepting your views; my actions are explained by the fact I don't care to get involved in any kind of edit war on this matter. Also, while Safire's column is often problematic in some respects (when he verges into the area covered by scholarly linguistics, as

It might be a pejorative among some American/British/etc. to be affiliated with Iran, but certainly a good number of people are quite happy to take that money and the ideology that follows. What makes you think Hamas considers the term a pejorative when it's clear that they have mutual goals and

I apologize if you felt I marked your 'acceptance', but I've only meant htat you've not shown a real sense of disagreement, which leaves MeteorMaker at a crude minority with the people who left their opinons on this thread. I'm not sure on how you'd like this article to account for if not as an

Sorry: where are the sources stating that it's pejorative? I see only a link by MeteorMaker to a source calling it a "boo" word; I don't know what that means. I don't see the link to the other source. Sources stating that a word is pejorative may be opinions, not universal fact. The sources

Again, we have an RS (and one who cannot reasonably be accused of anti-Israel bias at that) and that is all we need. In the other corner: Jaakobou's personal interpretation of an off-the-cuff remark by a Hamas member, in all likelihood intended as a joke. Even if al-Azhar had explicitly said

1508:"Hamastan is not a pejorative term" (which he did not), that would only be him speaking his personal opinion and not something that somehow nullifies what other sources say. But I can agree it would be helpful to add a note that the term is "widely used by Israeli media", as you point out. 1097:
Some selected Hamas figures or Hamas supporters may defiantly embrace the term on certain occasions, or provisionally accept it as a rough-and-ready useful term of political discourse, but overall and generally it's pretty clear that the term is in fact pejorative. Just in terms of Arabic
1066:
We have a reliable source that describes the term as pejorative, and your conclusion that it's not appears to be original research. If you want to add a note that one Hamas executive liked the sound of it in an interview with Newsweek, that's fine with me, but it doesn't make the term less
3255:
It's extremely dubious whether we know any such thing, merely based on one offhand remark in one interview, as explained above. And can you give me one good reason why Hamas members would view a bastardized pseudo-Persian word, which is not good Arabic and was invented by an Israeli, as
1905:
I see no consensus at all for your wording (that you keep repeating while ignoring fellow editors as well as WP policy), particularly not your OR claim that Hamas has somehow "approved" it. Could you find an RS that corroborates that claim? And while you're at it, one that characterizes

1279:
We have a reliable source that describes the term as "pejorative", and that's all we need. Your opinion that it is not pejorative, based on a creative interpretation of an off-the-cuff remark by a Hamas member, is mere original research and does not in any way outweigh William Safire.

I'm actually feeling, based on the inspection of sources, that citing only the Hamas co-founder for using the "place of" meaning is inaccurate as others have used it without malice as well. I'm open to rephrase suggestions but I'm thinking that 'pejorative' should not be the main
