In June 2024, the Wikipedia community declared the [[Anti-Defamation League]] (ADL) a generally unreliable source about the conflict. Arguments centered around the ADL's definition of antisemitism, which some editors saw as overly politicized, as well as their treatment of [[anti-Zionism]].<ref name="Independent ADL">{{cite web|last=Marcus|first=Josh|date=19 June 2024|title=Why Wikipedia just labeled a top Jewish rights organization 'unreliable' on the Israel-Palestine crisis|website=The Independent|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/wikipedia-adl-report-jewish-israel-palestine-b2565058.html?callback=in&code=NWIWY2UWYJMTMDDMOS0ZOWIWLWIYNTYTMWUWODU4YTJIZDEW&state=c0c4cd87289b4d09b1b1bd8ac1429217|access-date=19 June 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Elia-Shalev|first=Asaf|date=19 June 2024|title=Wikipedia moves to bar ADL, claiming reliability concerns on Israel and antisemitim[sic]|website=[[The Times of Israel]]|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/wikipedia-moves-to-bar-adl-claiming-reliability-concerns-on-israel-and-antisemitim/|access-date=19 June 2024}}</ref> ADL criticized the decision, saying that it was part of a "campaign to delegitimize the ADL."<ref name="Independent ADL"/>
