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."

Did you know.... that Wikipedia Lies About the 1948 Arab Assault on Israel?

The Arab armies did not aim to crush the new State of Israel in 1948

Inaugurating a new feature! 

Just as Wikipedia has a "Did you know?" feature on its main page, this blog will occasionally feature brief items on the work of the many anti-Israel editors, the "Wikipedia Flood," that have turned much of Wikipedia into pro-Hamas propaganda.

Today: 

Did you know that Wikipedia lies about the 1948 Arab-Israel War? That its article on the war says the Arab armies invaded not to crush the new Jewish state and commit genocide, but rather to delicately claim what Arab Palestinians were entitled to under the 1947 U.N. partition plan that they rejected?  

This one I've taken off Twitter/X and a post by @ReinceNiebuhr.

it really awful what an antisemitic cesspit Wikipedia has become when it comes to israel articles

Here they claim that the Arab states were only invading territories allocated to Arab state (before acknowledging Tel Aviv was the target)

And then tops it off w “Jewish Bribes”
