Wikipedia in the Service of Terror: How the Encyclopedia Serves Hatred of Israel – and the Lie | Weekend Special
An i24NEWS investigation claims that Wikipedia has become an arena of consciousness engineering against Israel, with organized editors distorting facts about the Holocaust and Zionism. The article cites historical and recent examples, including changing the definition of Zionism to 'colonization' and an investigation by the U.S. Congress.
An i24NEWS investigative report claims that Wikipedia has become an arena of consciousness engineering against Israel, where organized editors distort facts about Jews, the Holocaust, and Zionism. The article cites examples: an entry on the Warsaw concentration camp that for 15 years included a false claim about gas chambers murdering 200,000 non-Jewish Poles; a 2023 study that revealed a network of editors whitewashing Polish collaboration with the Nazis; and after October 7, 2023, editors cleaned the opening paragraph of the Hamas entry of descriptions of its antisemitic charter. In June 2024, English Wikipedia editors voted that the Anti-Defamation League is an unreliable source on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In 2025-2026, a definition of 'colonization' was inserted into the 'Zionism' entry. The U.S. Congress launched an investigation in August 2025, and Wikipedia hired lobbying firms to fend it off. In October 2026, an ADL check found that over 90% of the text of a blocked biased editor remained in entries. The article warns that search engines and AI draw from Wikipedia and spread the bias.
