Did you know.... that Wikipedia calls Yahya Sinwar a 'humble' 'politician'?

The Wikipedia article on the 'politician' Yahya Sinwar

Here is the Yahya Sinwar article as it appears at this writing, prior to official confirmation of Sinwar's death. Note that the lead section, which is supposed to summarize all of an article's most important points, buries that he was architect of the Oct. 7 massacres.

The "politician" description was added in this edit on Nov. 1, 2023, and has remained the description of the terrorist mastermind, on the highest-visibility website in the world, ever since.

As far as I can tell, it has never been seriously challenged.

Sinwar was "humble," says Wikipedia

An editor did object to Sinwar being referred to as "humble," but that description of the butcher of Oct. 7 remains in the article.

The article still contains the following text, which reads as if it came from a Hamas dispatch: "Despite his leadership among prisoners, Sinwar remained humble, sharing cooking duties and other chores with junior inmates as well as making knafeh for fellow prisoners, fostering camaraderie."
