Hamastan

As it reads on Wikipedia · 1 finding marked in the text · see twenty years of this article's openings

Hamastan (Hebrew: חמאסטן) is a pejorative neologism, blending Hamas, a Palestinian political party with a military wing, and -stan, a suffix of Persian origin meaning "home of/place of". The term generally refers to the Hamas administration of Gaza.

What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Hamastan, the pejorative term blending Hamas with the Persian suffix for a homeland, describing Hamas's governance of Gaza. Through October 6 2023 the opening described Hamas as "a Palestinian militant organization and political party." The word appears nowhere in the article today; the opening now calls Hamas "a Palestinian political party with a military wing." A reader today learns Hamas has a military wing and not that Wikipedia's own opening once called it a militant organization outright.
