ADL Report Details Alleged Anti-Israel Bias by Wikipedia Editors

The Anti-Defamation League accuses over 30 Wikipedia editors of orchestrating a campaign to promote pro-Hamas narratives and remove references to antisemitism and Palestinian violence.

• The ADL's new report alleges that more than 30 Wikipedia editors coordinated to inject anti-Israel bias and pro-Hamas narratives into articles over two decades.
• The report claims these editors made over 1 million edits to 10,000 articles, with activity intensifying after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.
• Specific examples include edits downplaying Hamas's designation as a terrorist group and removing references to antisemitism, Palestinian violence, and terrorism.
• Arabic-language Wikipedia articles were found to contain widespread pro-Hamas bias, with minimal citations and glorification of the group, according to the ADL.
• The ADL is urging search engines to deprioritize Wikipedia content until reforms are made and the Wikimedia Foundation has disputed the report's findings, stating they are conducting a review.
