The only conclusion from the phenomenon of ORGANIZED clubs working in cahoots on Wikipedia is MONEY.
Just like Palestine Tech and Euro-Med...
Just as the encampment are paid.
ISGAP found the central donors to be Westchester Peopleâs Action Coalition (WESPAC); Tides Foundation; American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), its parent organization Americans for Justice in Palestine (AJP); and JVP.
Hatem Bazian is also a co-founder of AMP.

How Hamas supporters are influencing Wikipedia.
Politics.
Introduction.
Since 7/10 there have been cadres of ultra-pro-Palestine editors on Wikipedia who have been singularly focused on painting Israel as the evil aggressor. Certain prominent editors with more than 100,000 edits to Wikipedia openly support Hamas.
Euro-Med Monitorâs disinformation campaign.
These pro-Palestine Wikipedia editors know that if they go too far towards the pro-Palestine side in one instance, then there may be sanctions against them. Instead, what they do is they delegitimize reliable sources and promote pro-Palestine opinion sources. For example, in the page for the Israel-Hamas war, they cite the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor (Euro-Med) to falsely claim that 90% of casualties were civilians. On the surface, the Euro-Med Monitor looks like a generic human rights organization however, the Euro-Med Monitor has actually been a significant source of pro-Hamas propaganda on social media. In fact, it is owned by a man named Ramy Abdu, who is a literal Hamas lobbyist. His Wikipedia page seems awfully one-sided. Why is that? Well, a prominent contributor to both his article and the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor article is Wikipedia user Anassjerjawi. Guess who is also named Anass Jerjawi? The Chief Operating Officer of Euro-Med. Other prominent contributors to Euro-Medâs Wikipedia page are Maha Hussaini and Nesma Jaber, both contributors at the Qatari-funded Middle East Eye newspaper. There are also 8 other unknown Wikipedia editors who have edited Euro-Medâs page with pro-Palestine edits, some of whom have edited other pro-Palestine and human rights-related Wikipedia articles. Why is this so pervasive? The answer is that Euro-Med actually has a program in which they get 40 Palestinian university students to edit English and Italian Wikipedia every year.
How Palestine supporters influence Wikipedia.
The situation with Euro-Med is just one particularly egregious example, but the ways in which Palestine supporters influence Wikipedia are generally much more subtle. For example, Elie Wieselâs article previously claimed that âFollowing his death, Wiesel was criticized by some for his perceived silence on certain Israeli government policies with regards to the Palestinians.â The source for this is an OPINION article from Mondoweiss, an explicitly pro-Hamas website. The only people criticizing Wiesel here is the author of the opinion piece. Using this same logic, I could cite a Stormfront Forum post and say âWiesel was criticized by some for being a Jew.â Another example is the article for Ramy Abdu, the founder of Euro-Med and a Hamas lobbyist, it says that he is a âhuman rights advocate.â The citation for this is an article that Abdu himself wrote. This clearly violates Wikipediaâs guidelines about self-published sources. By this logic, I could make a Wikipedia article and cite a website I just made that says that I am human rights advocate.
Double standards.
In 2013, the pro-Israel website âNGO Monitorâ was banned from being used as a source on Wikipedia. Although I agree with NGO Monitor, it is clearly a biased source, and is not suitable for use on Wikipedia, an unbiased website. NGO Monitorâs Wikipedia page clearly states at the beginning that it is âpro-Israel.â When an organization such as the ADL is cited on a Wikipedia article related to Israel-Hamas, it is very frequently referred to as a âpro-Israelâ group whenever it is cited in an article. On the other hand, when Euro-Med is cited in an article, it is simply listed as the âEuro-Med Human Rights Monitor.â This is despite Euro-Medâs clear pro-Palestine bias.
Most people donât go past the headline. When people hover over the page for Euro-Med, they see: âEuro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor is an independent, nonprofit organization for the protection of human rights.â Their immediate reaction is that Euro-Med is similar to an organization like Amnesty International. On the other hand, when people hover over the page for NGO Monitor, they see: âNGO Monitor (Non-governmental Organization Monitor) is a right-wing non-governmental organization based in Jerusalem that reports on international NGO activity from a pro-Israel perspective.â Their immediate reaction is that anything NGO Monitor says is unreliable.
The two organizations are equally biased, but only one of them, NGO Monitor is clearly depicted as being biased. The other one, Euro-Med, is cited all across Wikipedia despite having never been cited by any credible mainstream news organization.
How can this be fixed?
Therein lies the problem with Wikipedia. If 4 out of every 5 users editing an Israel-Palestine Wikipedia article is pro-Palestine, of course the articles will have a pro-Palestine slant. Wikipedia operates based on a consensus decision-making process, and pro-Palestine editors dominate the consensus. The only body that regulates the conduct of these users is the Wikipedia Arbitration Committee, a largely unbiased group of editors that makes sure that editors stay within the consensus decision-making process. But when the consensus decision-making process is fundamentally corrupted, then the power of pro-Palestine editors can go unchecked. Simply put: there need to be more pro-Israel English Wikipedia editors.
Real-world impacts.
The impact of this is that an entire generation of internet users becomes subtly brainwashed by pro-Palestine propaganda. The situation is analogous to when Holocaust Deniers took over the Croatian Wikipedia, and controlled it from 2011 to 2020. This canât not have had an effect on Croatian society. In 2020, the far-right ultranationalist Homeland Party won 11 seats in the Croatian parliament, and 2 days ago they won 14 seats. The rise of the Homeland Party canât be directly attributed to the fascist takeover of Croatian Wikipedia - other far-right parties in Europe arose around the same time for a variety of factors. However, the fascist takeover almost certainly did poison the thinking of hundreds of thousands of young Croats who used Croatian Wikipedia every day.
..worried that a cabal of pro-Palestine Wikipedia editors will irreversibly and irreparably harm the publicâs image of Israel. That is all.

Inside the war over Israel at Wikipedia
Behind the scenes, ideologically motivated actors are working to shape the knowledge shared on the worldâs largest encyclopedia
By Gabby Deutch, June 26, 2024
After Wikipediaâs editors voted earlier this month to rate the Anti-Defamation League as an unreliable source on matters related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a group of online activists celebrated the news in a pro-Palestine channel on the messaging app Discord.
âA win for us,â wrote a user named Ivana. âHopefully the Times of Israel comes next.â
âGreat news. Well done you and others who have been working hard on this front,â a user named Samer_BHH wrote about the ban, which was first reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Their exchange, which took place in an online community dedicated to editing Wikipedia articles to better reflect a pro-Palestinian narrative, offers a glimpse at how ideologically motivated actors operate behind the scenes to shape the knowledge shared on Wikipedia, one of the most visited websites in the world.

Wikipedia's Anti-Israel Editors Unmasked
Group launches effort to combat anti-Israel bias on internet's largest encyclopedia.
Adam Kredo, November 20, 2019.
...Already, the Israel Group has listed the details of the top five editors it deems leaders of the anti-Israel effort.
The number one anti-Israel leader, according to the Israel Group, is an Australian computer scientist named Brendan McKay.
"Brendan McKay, who goes by the Wikipedia username 'Zero0000,' is the Godfather, the unofficial leader of the entire cabal of anti-Israel Wikipedia editors," the Israel Group wrote in a post about McKay. "Although he is not the most prolific or skilled editor among them, one thing separates him from the others: he's a Wikipedia administrator. This means that he has vast powers that regular editors don't have, such as the ability to block and ban regular editors and to delete edits and articles from the historical record. Moreover, administrators are greatly respected, so when they accuse general editors of editing with a pro-Israel point of viewâas McKay repeatedly doesâother administrators side with him, often blocking or banning pro-Israel editors."
The Israel Group goes on to list as its second leading anti-Israel editor another Australian named Peter Nicholas Dale.
Dale "is undoubtedly the most prolific and proficient of the bunch," according to the Israel Group. "He is an erudite, skilled blowhard who employs his expert Wikipedia editing proficiency to derail and obfuscate discussions."...

The Israel Group Launches Battle to Expose Anti-Israel Wikipedia Editors
By David Israel. November 21, 2019.
The Israel Group, a nonprofit whose mission is âto cripple the boycott (BDS) movement against at Israel,â is waging war against Wikipedia, or, rather, against Wikipedia editors with a clear bias against the Jewish State.
Founded by Jack Saltzberg, an old war-horse in the fight to defend Israelâs reputation (he also served in an IDF anti-terrorist unit), The Israel Group has warned that âa cabal of virulently anti-Israel anonymous editors is responsible for decimating virtually the entire pro-Israel editing community. Volunteer âadministratorsâ (with lifetime positions), responsible for overseeing the editing process of Wikipedia, have not only allowed anti-Israel editors freedom to take over Wikipedia, they have participated by blocking and banning predominantly Jewish and pro-Israel editors.â
Saltzberg said on his groupâs website that they have been working for many years, âunder the radar,â on âWiki-Israel,â which will be launched in January 2020, and fight against âWikipediaâs anti-Semitic bias against Israel.â
The initiative features a website that shows âhow anti-Israel editors smear Israelâboth subtly and overtlyâacross hundreds of articles, and how the pro-Israel community can stop it.â
As part of its initiative, The Israel Group outed the five worst anti-Israel Wikipedia editors, who have been âactive for more than a decade totaling more than 325,000 Wikipedia edits, with the majority targeting Israel.â Here they are:
1. An anti-Israel Wikipedia editor who goes by the username Zero0000. His real name, according to TIG, is Brendan McKay, a math scientist at the Australian National University. McKay is the unofficial leader of the entire cabal of anti-Israel Wikipedia editors, TIG claims. A Wikipedia administrator, he has the ability to block and ban regular editors and to delete edits and articles from the record.
2. Nishidani is âundoubtedly the most prolific and proficient of the bunch,â according to TIG, which claims âhe is an erudite, skilled blowhard who employs his expert Wikipedia editing proficiency to derail and obfuscate discussions, limiting most ability to add even miniscule factual content positive toward Israel.â Out of Nishidaniâs more than 60,000 Wikipedia edits, not one is even slightly pro-Israel, NIG says.
3. Nableezy is the Hamas faction of Wikipedia. According to TIG, Nableezy is the most vile, dedicated, and ruthless anti-Israel editor, who is almost singularly responsible for getting nearly 60 Jewish and pro-Israel editors blocked or banned from editing Wikipedia, usually through subversive methods and working in collusion with Wikipediaâs administrators.
4. Huldra, believed to be a woman, keeps a low profile as she assists the cadre of anti-Israel editors, says TIG, however, she is slowly and dangerously undermining the factual history of Israel on Wikipedia. Huldra is responsible for enacting the 30/500 policy, limiting visitors from editing anywhere in the Arab-Israeli topic area unless they have gained 30 days and 500 edits on Wikipedia.
5. Mshabazz, a.k.a. Malik Shabazz, has written on Wikipedia that he is Jewish, but as a former administrator has joined the anti-Israel side in every major (and minor) discussion regarding the Arab-Israel conflict, TIG says. He was removed from his administratorâs position for using racist and anti-Semitic trope....

VILIFICATION OF ISRAEL VIA INTIMIDATION AND OBSESSION
How an Arab Muslim propagandist has contributed to anti-Israel bias on Wikipedia.
For some 14 years user ( User:Nableezy - Wikipedia ) Nableezy has been roaming on wiki in his anti Israel vilification campaign, with help of one or two other Muslims.
Tactics include:
* Putting a warning on wikipedians [ARBPIA] esoecially for any newcomers....
Carrying out "edit wars." .
"Deciding" what is a 'reliable source' .
Deleting any criticism of any anti Israel hot -headed pieces.
Difference from usual wikipedians, is, the record of obsession in constant fighting. Showing in the past his investing his major time in it.
HELPING IN ANTI-JEWISH HATRED
Over a decade ago, some anti-Jewish wikipedian, who posted much against Judaism and to brand racism on Israel as part of his overall goal, has pushed for a disproportionate page about little Israel (vs the globe) by quoting exaggerated "racism" terminology from Israeli far left (who gave an agenda, esoecially by using this term as a tool to shock Jewish conscious and) who as known have been used this terminolog arbitrary as a routine, including on coltural and religious differences.
Of course this vilification osge was much defended and ousged also by Arab anti Israel wikipedian Nableezy and a Farrakhan guy, at the time.

A woman preparing to endorse U.S. President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday was abruptly booted from the lineup after posting about a Jewish conspiracy to control the world, U.S. media reported.
Mary Ann Mendoza, a so-called "Angel Mom," was scheduled to speak Tuesday night about her son Brandon, a police officer killed in 2014 by a drunk driver who was in the country illegally.
But her appearance was scrapped when she highlighted a theory earlier Tuesday peddled by far-right conspiracy movement QAnon that highlights an anti-Semitic trope about a global Jewish cabal bent on terrorizing non-Jewish "goyim[sic]."

His edit in November 2015:
As he is so excited to find a "cherry" that can put Himmler in a nice light. He quotes Mufti's writing from the 1970s that Himmler "told" him in the early 1940s he was "shocked" to see Jews abused... But does not quote it the verbatim nor in context of how M. Sells writes it. His purported source.
The Mufti al-Husayni who in 1920 incited to attack non-Zionist pious old men, women & children under cries of "idbach..." ; who in 1941 called upon all Muslims to "Kill the Js wherever they are..this pleases Allah", and has escaped Nurnberg trial, decades later tried to rewrite details in his memoirs. Naturally. And he was bitter after six-day war too, as Sells writes. Though the hatred is still there on display even on those notes, including believing J. are evil, (choosing to) believe in blood libel, etc.
Yet, even in choosing so enthusiastically to quote this specific line, the user changes, intentionally omits the already beginning fictional part in line, the sheer absurdity that supposedly Himmler was "shocked" (at all) seeing Jews abused. Instead, he maliciously edited it, to fit his intended goal to blame the Jews. The people who were all boxed together hungry and under strict orders of brutal Nazi guards.

'Mary Ann Mendoza' VS 'Nishidani on Wikipedia': anti-Jewish bigotry, racism, hatred, old conspiracy theories garbage
M.A. MENDOZA:
US. Republicans drop speaker for retweeting anti-Semitic tirade.
Hours before her planned speech at RNC, Mary Ann Mendoza retweets a thread posted by member of QAnon movement, which promotes an age-old conspiracy about a global Jewish cabal bent on terrorizing non-Jews
AFP | Published: 08.26.20 , 11:54
A woman preparing to endorse U.S. President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday was abruptly booted from the lineup after posting about a Jewish conspiracy to control the world, U.S. media reported.
Mary Ann Mendoza, a so-called "Angel Mom," was scheduled to speak Tuesday night about her son Brandon, a police officer killed in 2014 by a drunk driver who was in the country illegally.
But her appearance was scrapped when she highlighted a theory earlier Tuesday peddled by far-right conspiracy movement QAnon that highlights an anti-Semitic trope about a global Jewish cabal bent on terrorizing non-Jewish "goyim[sic]."

NISHIDANI = BIGOT:
From email, August 12, 2020:
'A HATER, HAS BEEN EDITING WIKIPEDIA SINCE AROUND 2006
By editing so much, since around 2006, this means: the occupation on wikipedia as a routine putting in data and sources and pulling out and claiming what is a RS or not.
But revelations reveal this person's [user name: Nishidani] motives.
Manipulating intellectuality for a hateful agenda. Nishidani masks his work under "politics."
PROMOTING MUFTI PROPAGANDA AGAINST JEWS WHILE HUMANIZING HIMMLER
On the page of Grand Mufti of Jerusalem
His edit in November 2015:
As he is so excited to find a "cherry" that can put Himmler in a nice light. He quotes Mufti's writing from the 1970s that Himmler "told" him in the early 1940s he was "shocked" to see Jews abused... But does not quote it the verbatim nor in context of how M. Sells writes it. His purported source.
The Mufti al-Husayni who in 1920 incited to attack non-Zionist pious old men, women & children under cries of "idbach..." ; who in 1941 called upon all Muslims to "Kill the Js wherever they are..this pleases Allah", and has escaped Nurnberg trial, decades later tried to rewrite details in his memoirs. Naturally. And he was bitter after six-day war too, as Sells writes. Though the hatred is still there on display even on those notes, including believing J. are evil, (choosing to) believe in blood libel, etc.
Yet, even in choosing so enthusiastically to quote this specific line, the user changes, intentionally omits the already beginning fictional part in line, the sheer absurdity that supposedly Himmler was "shocked" (at all) seeing Jews abused. Instead, he maliciously edited it, to fit his intended goal to blame the Jews. The people who were all boxed together hungry and under strict orders of brutal Nazi guards.

HELPING FARRAKHAN'S HATRED
Pushing for Khazar myth especially on the days it was used (again) for hatred
[Khazars: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia]
It was at a time of publicized Farrakhan's influenced "material" in hate in July 13, 2020. When the poison was in the air. Two days before Nick Cannon who pushed for it from Farrakhan, has finally retracted and apologized.

HOUTHIS
Upset, objects that the infamous anti-Jewish Houthis are being cited for its use of own people as Human Shields on the human shields page. (As usual, masking it under "politics").
[*]
[Houthis' flag: officially called Ansar Allah), a political and religious movement and rebel group in Yemen, reads "Allah is Greater, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam 'Death to America! Death to Israel!' say Houthis in Yemen . Armed Conflict Survey 2019 . âCurse the Jews,â Yemenâs Houthi rebel slogan handed out at university .

TWISTED VIEW: JEWS "VS"...?
Nishidani, edits, work on wikipedia come from seeing the world as non-Jews vs Jews.
His words in August 11 2020: "to win the minds and hearts of goys..." in the Human Shields page of wikipedia.

Besides the context, it is also the fact of using this form (with added S) not used by anyone else besides neo nazis , up to the time of that Aug.2020 edit. Example: (Fascists forge... January 15, 2019
link.. .
Later on, when asked, Nishidani took first the time to browse online, to come up with a weird "reply" trying to blame Jews. To make it clear. It's not about any use of the word as a whole, but about the context; this person's view of the world, and this particular form of use.
It all "explains" Nishidani's obsession on editing about Jewish history, Jewish early sages, personalities, Judaism. And "deciding" what is a reliable source anything that can diminish, or and turn anything Jewish into negative light.'
