Wikipedia banned eight volunteer editors from making changes to articles on the Arab-Israeli conflict, following a ruling on Thursday by the online encyclopedia’s Arbitration Committee.
In June, Wikipedia editors targeted the Anti-Defamation League, declaring it an “unreliable source” whose data could not be relied upon when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
When Wikipedia first announced disciplinary action against the Wikipedia editors, the ADL issued a press release praising the decision “in the wake of a massive effort by anti-Israel editors to spread misinformation and hate across the platform.”
ADL listed all but one of the banned anti-Israel editors. It named “Iskandar323,” “Selfstudier,” “Nableezy,” “Levivich” and “Nishidani” as “being part of a bad-faith campaign in an attempt t o undermine the credibility of ADL.”
Yikes. It’s common knowledge the ADL has stopped actually fighting anti-semitism in favor of sucking as much Zionist cock as possible. Bad decision that lowers my trust in Wikipedia as a whole.
You haven’t read it. Guaranteed. I don’t mean that it’ll change your mind if you do; I mean I know you haven’t read it and don’t know anything about it. Why are you talking like you have?
In trying to read it and it’s got some abbreviation that is never clarified. What is an AE? This entire thread is formatted like bot info and it’s so fucking hard to parse on mobile. I wish Wikipedia used some of donations to update their UI.
Was it ever anything besides a pro-Zionist organization? Things are just more in the open and they’re acting more rashly now because the settler colony understands that, with the rise of a multinodal world and reduced comparative power, their days are counted. Kinda like the US empire, right?
