How Left-Wing Anti-Semitism Expresses ItselfMay 4, 2009 at 10:18 am · Filed under Palestinian Terrorism, Hamas, Liberal Nonsense, media bias, Iran, Aunt Agatha, Anti-Semitism, Israel In the wikipedia coverage of Israel, terror organizations, even the Holocaust Can you imagine if the editors of Wikipedia denied America’s history of slavery, and if every time someone posted a reference to slavery in the United States, the editors simply deleted it? Wikipedia editors: Coverage of Israel ‘problematic’ By Cnaan Liphshiz Tags: Israel News, Hamas, Iran Wikipedia’s coverage of Israel-related issues is “problematic,” leading Israeli internet researchers claimed Sunday at the Wikipedia Academy 2009 Conference dealing with the world’s largest encyclopedia. The conference was organized by Wikimedia’s volunteer-based Israel chapter and Tel Aviv University’s Netvision Institute for Internet Studies. However, the Web site’s leading manager said it merely reflected public discourse. In demonstrating what he defined as problems, Eli Hacohen, the Institute’s director, showed how Hamas is not defined as a terrorist organization in the first paragraph describing the organization on the English site of the reader-edited online encyclopedia, which is the world’s fourth most popular Web site. Hacohen also documented his attempts to define Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as a Holocaust-denier. Each time he included his remarks on Wikipedia, users and editors removed the reference - despite Ahmadinejad’s frequent and public Holocaust denials. On a related entry, Hacohen also noted that Wikipedia defines David Irving - a known Holocaust denier - as a historian, although his credentials are recognized by no one but himself. Furthermore, the Wikipedia entry on January’s Operation Cast Lead in Gaza describes it as an “intense bombardment” by Israel on a civilian population. Dror Kamir, a leading Israeli Wikipedia promoter, showed how Lod is not listed as a city in Israel in Wikipedia’s Arabic-language version. Also attending the conference, which discussed Wikipedia’s role in academia, was Sue Gardner, the executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, which runs Wikipedia. Gardner told Haaretz that she is “quite comfortable” with the mistakes on the Web site. “I know that more or less the same mistakes can be found in the New York Times,” she explained. Exactly. The New York Times did not tell its readers that Jews died in the concentration camps until 1950, five years after the liberation of Auschwitz. She is exactly right. That is the tradition that her organization adheres to. And here we have more evidence of how the Left abuses Jewish people, casually, the way they would order a latte. On her first visit to Israel, Gardner explained that her attitude stemmed from her framework of reference as a journalist in her native Canada, including a stint as director of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Web site. It is this crude: Winners write history. The editors of wikipedia apparently believe that Jews are losers. Easy to kill, easier to just ignore. I don’t know if there is a higher being or not, I really don’t. But, if there is, I hope that there is some sort of hell in the afterlife for those who can be so dismissive of Jewish history and current reality. - Aggie bloodthirstyliberal.com
