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.”
I looked at the stuff shared in the article, which showcases people previously shot or otherwise hurt, which isn’t the same thing as a video showcasing the government shooting into a crowd or prosecuting peaceful protestors. The narrative you’re promoting isn’t corroborated by the evidence you’re sharing. The only thing I can verify with that is that people indeed got hurt, which even the Iranian government acknowledges.
The organizations that “independently verified” these claims are western backed NGOs, regardless of the intentions of those working there they serve their donors, who have itched to plunder Iran for decades.
