Wikipedia’s War on Israel
This will show anti-Israel subversion of wikipedia.
Though the title sounds extreme, I will uncover anti-Israel bias in wikipedia and Electronic Intifada’s effort to keep the anti-Israel bias on wikipedia.
Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America [CAMERA] paid the price for fighting anti-Israel bias. Yet the same allegations Electronic Intifada [EI] makes about CAMERA is actually true for pro-Palestinian groups, which have a lot of control over the popular encyclopedia wikipedia. I’ll give a little bit of information on EI.
Anti-Israel Bias on Wikipedia
An example of anti-Israel bias on wikipedia is that the list of massacres in the 1948 war lists only those allegedly committed by Jews. The title that I, a long while ago, repeatedly attempted to get renamed to “Palestinian Terrorism,” is still named “Palestinian political violence,” even though it is an indisputable fact that it’s terrorism. Palestinian terrorists kill innocent men, women and children in cold-blood. To call Palestinian terrorism “political violence” is to whitewash the barbaric Palestinian killers, who have no respect for human life.
The wikipedia entry on list of attacks on Israeli civilians before 1967 said that “Palestinians crossing the border for a variety of reasons, primarily efforts to return to their homes from which they had been forcefully expelled by Zionist armed forces in the 1948 war.”
Notice the “Zionist armed forces” term. Even though Zionism is a wonderful movement that sought to reestablish Israel, Zionist is used as a derogatory term by the anti-Israel propaganda machine. The terrorism before 1967 was not “primarily efforts to return to their homes.” It was to destroy Israel [though the right of return demographically destroys Israel, but let that pass now].
Wikipedia also whitewashed the 1974 PLO ten-point program, which is also known as the step/stages program. That program calls for the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization] to accept any territory as a means to achieve Israel’s elimination [though there was a recent edit in wikipedia that admitted that the ten-point program calls for Israel’s destruction in the article Palestine Liberation Organization]. Though it is true that it says that the ten-point program calls for a secular democratic binational state, which is a euphemism for and a way of eliminating Israel.
However, the article on the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine [DFLP] was totally a pro-DFLP article. That article said:

What evidence? This article is totally accurate. Israel won land from defensive wars . Israel fought her existence since day one. You want evidence? Look at the 1948 war, look at what Nasser says and what the PLO tells their own people. This article is filled with evidence. It’s you who has no evidence Rohit.

There was a comment accusing Israel of crimes, saying that I’m not willing to accept those “facts” [something like that] i.e. anti-Israel propaganda. Apparently, it was deleted.

Benyamin is not a Muslim name. It’s a Jewish name. And defending the mosques? Please. Even if they were just defending mosques, they were still terrorists because they killed innocent men, women and children. But those Palestinian terrorists weren’t defensing mosques. They seek Israel’s destruction. In the 2008-2009 Israel-Hamas war, Hamas put their terrorist infrastructure in a mosque. As a result, Israel bombed it. So Palestinian terrorists seek Israel’s destruction, not to defend any mosque. By the way, Israel doesn’t seek to bomb any mosque for the heck of it. Israel seeks to protect her citizens from Palestinian terror. That’s all. The people killed in Palestinian terrorist attacks are people who go to school or relax in a cafe, not people who seek to attack any mosque.
