In June 2024, an edit war involving the articles for the [[2024 Nuseirat rescue operation]] and the [[Nuseirat refugee camp massacre]] occurred, resulting in editing access to the articles being restricted.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shamim |first=Sarah |last2=Oxford |first2=Dwayne |date=14 June 2024 |title=Wikipedia war: Fierce row erupts over Israel’s deadly Nuseirat assault |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/14/wikipedia-war-fierce-row-erupts-over-israels-deadly-nuseirat-assault |access-date=2024-06-19 |website=[[Al Jazeera English]] |language=en |archive-date=2024-06-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240617230750/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/14/wikipedia-war-fierce-row-erupts-over-israels-deadly-nuseirat-assault |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=15 June 2024 |title=Wikipedia article on Israeli army's Nuseirat massacre in Gaza sparks edit war, restrictions |url=https://www.newarab.com/news/wikipedia-article-nuseirat-massacre-sparks-edit-war |access-date=June 20, 2024 |website=[[The New Arab]] |archive-date=16 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240616033210/https://www.newarab.com/news/wikipedia-article-nuseirat-massacre-sparks-edit-war |url-status=live }}</ref>
In the same month, the English [[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 [[Weaponization of antisemitism|overly politicized]], as well as its 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 |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 |website=[[The Independent]] |archive-date=19 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240619231624/https://www.independent.co.uk/_build/init_register_wall.7a4ff50e71ffb5e9a1d9.js |url-status=live }}</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|archive-date=19 June 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240619045428/https://www.timesofisrael.com/wikipedia-moves-to-bar-adl-claiming-reliability-concerns-on-israel-and-antisemitim/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":6">{{Cite web |last=Goldman |first=David |date=2024-06-19 |title=Wikipedia now labels the top Jewish civil rights group as an unreliable source |url=https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/19/media/wikipedia-adl/index.html |access-date=2024-06-19 |website=[[CNN Business]] |language=en |archive-date=2024-06-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240619231736/https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/19/media/wikipedia-adl/index.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The ADL criticized the decision, saying that it was part of a "campaign to delegitimize the ADL."<ref name="Independent ADL" /><ref name=":6" /> AAn letterEnglish signedWikipedia byadministrator 40who Jewishevaluated organizationsthe statedcommunity's consensus for this discussion cited the existence of substantial evidence of the ADL acting as a "pro-Israeli advocacy group" that byhas extension,published unretracted misinformation "to the Wikipediapoint positionthat wouldit jeopardizetaints their reputation for accuracy and fact checking regarding the JewishIsraeli-Palestinian communityconflict", as well as a "habit on the ADL's capacitypart toof effectivelyconflating counteractcriticism of the Israeli government’s actions with antisemitism".<ref name="Haaretz 25 June 2024"Bandler>{{cite news |last1=NechinBandler |first1=EtanAaron |title=LeadingWikipedia JewishEditors GroupsLabel RebukeADL Wikipedia'sOnly 'Attack'Reliable onfor ADL'sAntisemitism CredibilityWhen on“Israel Antisemitismand Zionism Are Not Concerned” |url=https://www.haaretzjewishjournal.com/jewishnews/2024united-06-25states/ty-article/.premium372532/leadingwikipedia-jewisheditors-groupslabel-rebukeadl-wikipediasonly-attackreliable-onfor-adlsantisemitism-credibilitywhen-onisrael-antisemitism/00000190and-4f10zionism-da42are-a1banot-7f7a12ad0000concerned/ |access-date=2522 June 2024 |work=Haaretz[[Jewish Journal]] |date=2521 June 2024 |archive-date=June 22, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240622020506/https://jewishjournal.com/news/united-states/372532/wikipedia-editors-label-adl-only-reliable-for-antisemitism-when-israel-and-zionism-are-not-concerned/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Later that month, the English Wikipedia community concluded the ADL's lack of reliability extended to "the intersection of antisemitism and the [Israeli-Palestinian] conflict, such as labeling pro-Palestinian activists as antisemitic", but "the ADL can roughly be taken as reliable on the topic of antisemitism when Israel and Zionism are not concerned".<ref name=Bandler/> [[James Loeffler]] of [[Johns Hopkins University]], a professor of modern Jewish history, commented that the Wikipedia editors were "heavily influenced by the ADL leadership's comments", which took "a much more aggressive stance than most academic researchers in blurring the distinction between anti-Zionism and antisemitism".<ref name=":6"/>
