Wikipedia's editors are said to have conspired in a long-standing scheme to inject anti-Israel language on topics related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
According to a report by ADL's Tech and Society Center, Rogue editors have at least 30 Rogue editors flooded with “anti-Semitism stories, anti-Israel bias and misleading information” on one of the world's most popular sites.
The alleged bias has also been extended to “pro-hama perspectives” across Arabic Wikipedia content, the report alleges.
Wikipedia did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the post.
The fight between major U.S. human rights groups and nonprofits got heated last year when Wiki editors declared ADL a “unreliable source” about the Israel-Gaza War. According to the Washington Post.
In January, Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee issued disciplinary action against six “suspecting editors” and banned editing of certain topics in order to bully or intimidate other volunteer editors and attempt to make certain page changes, ADL said.
The latest report from the nonprofit claims that anti-Israel editors have removed references to anti-Semitism, cleaned up Hamas pages in their longtime campaigns, and strengthened their fraudulent editing since the October 7 massacre of terrorist groups in Israel.
In one instance, the NPR report that young Palestinians wearing swastikas were flying kites wearing kites was removed from Wikipedia's page about the Gaza protest, according to the report.
The conspiring editor removed reports of Hamas' sexual violence from Wikipedia content, while others systematically removed references to terrorist violence from Hamas' pages, the report says.
In another example, an edited Wikipedia page of Samir Kuntar, a member of the Lebanon-Palestinian Liberation Front, who was a fatal participant in Israel's Nahari in 1979, removed the murder conviction against accusations of terrorism.
Media reports of terrorists calling for the destruction of Israel have been removed from the Wiki page on Palestine political violence, ADL added.
According to the report, Hamas' main Wikipedia entry is a statement indicating that many governments, including the United States, have designated it as a terrorist group.
Instead, the main section of the page focuses on Hamas' role as a political, social and military organization that promotes “Palestinian nationalism in the Islamic context.”
Meanwhile, the ADL alleged that editing of the Main Zionism page from 2022 onwards has negatively reconstructed the establishment of Israel.
“The Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine, a Jewish state with as many Jews as possible, and as many Palestinian Arabs as possible,” Wikipedia Page said.
According to the ADL, the first data from the site that “editors of bad faith” joined the site in 2002, with over a million edits recorded in about 10,000 articles related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
ADL has taken Wikipedia pages into search engines such as Google and Bing into results.
The report also requires Wikipedia to create a program with Israeli experts and review its policies on harassment, bias and procurement standards.
Bloomberg previously reported that tensions were being brewed on Wikipedia in the war in Gaza as volunteer editors launched an “editorial war” to manipulate the page tilt.
