Menashiya is hardly used, maybe it's a conflation of the Arabic name with a Hebrew one (Menasheh), but for an Arab neighbourhood we have no reason to use a rare Hebrew variation. I wasn't at all familiar with "Menashiya" and so I googled for
"Menashiya" "Jaffa"
and then for
"Manshiya" "Jaffa"
and
"Menashiyya" "Jaffa"
Sure enough, (b)+(c) are more than 5 times as frequent as (a). This on top of what I knew, not as a starting point. I smell a post-mortem "hebrefication" of a long-gone city quarter. Prove me wrong, or please modify the name. Thanks, ArmindenArminden (talk) 23:03, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Manshiya. The tendency is to drop the final h and replace e with a. More so in Jordan than I/P, but if that's the tendency, let's go with it. That is what I know. I personally like Manshiyeh best, but that has no bearing. Now I googled for all combinations {"M..." "Jaffa"}, using quotation marks, and again, Manshiya leads (9k) vs. Manshiyya (4k) with none of the others even coming close. This "iyy" is clearly an exaggeration and is going out of fashion in other names, too. You can challenge both approaches, but together I think they give the answer.

This doesn't help with reaching a concerted decision. Either we move it all to one place, or at least we should interlink & be aware of the other 2 pages. Arminden (talk) 20:29, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Zero0000: I see that you know Bell's book. I only read what I could access online, and from that the starting pages of the relevant section are missing. We now have two paragraphs on the 1948 war. I cannot tell if the first paragraph is covered by Bell, or if it's totally unsourced. If you know the answer to that, please do add after that paragraph - either the proper reference, or a "citation needed" tag. I guess it must be Bell, but I can't tell, nor can I guess the page number. Thanks. Arminden (talk) 23:12, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bell's book was one of the first I ever read on the P/I conflict, but it was only after I read a lot of academic literature that I realised that Bell's book is not terribly reliable. There are quite a lot of better sources available on this topic. One of the best is Itamar Radai, Palestinians in Jerusalem and Jaffa, 1948. I'll try to do something but I'm fiendishly busy at the moment. Zerotalk03:59, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
