The [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]] has been covered extensively on [[Wikipedia]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-05-16 |title=Israeli-Palestinian conflict rages on Wikipedia |url=https://www.jpost.com/israel/israeli-palestinian-conflict-rages-on-wikipedia |access-date=2023-12-20 |website=The Jerusalem Post {{!}} JPost.com |language=en-US |archive-date=2023-12-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231220222105/https://www.jpost.com/israel/israeli-palestinian-conflict-rages-on-wikipedia |url-status=live }}</ref> External groups have initiated editing campaigns, and the [[Israel–Hamas war]] intensified editing in the topic-area. Wikipedia coverage on the conflict differs significantly between the encyclopedia's language-versions.
== History ==
In September 2006,
In 2008, after issues on the [[Second Intifada]] article and other articles related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict reached a fever pitch, Wikipedia's [[Arbitration Committee (Wikipedia)|Arbitration Committee]] decided on a set of rules of conduct for editors when editing articles related to the conflict. Editors are required to have made over 500 edits for at least 30 days to edit articles related to the conflict, can only make one revert per day across the entire field, and can be banned from editing related articles. The ruling was reaffirmed and expanded in 2009 and 2015.<ref name=":0" />

=== Israel–Hamas war ===
The [[Israel–Hamas war]] was extensively covered on Wikipedia and other related projects in various languages. This included articles about the [[2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel]] starting from October 7, 2023, as well as the subsequent [[2023 Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip|Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip]] and the [[Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip (2023–present)|Israeli invasion]] by the [[Israeli Defence Forces]] (IDF) in the following weeks.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |last=Harrison |first=Stephen |date=2023-10-26 |title=Wikipedia Is Covering the War in Israel and Gaza Better Than X |url=https://slate.com/technology/2023/10/wikipedia-elon-musk-gaza-hamas-israel-x-twitter-dispute.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231214194642/https://slate.com/technology/2023/10/wikipedia-elon-musk-gaza-hamas-israel-x-twitter-dispute.html |archive-date=2023-12-14 |access-date=2023-12-20 |work=Slate |language=en-US |issn=1091-2339}}</ref> Articles related to the war experienced [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit warring]] due to the diversity of narratives from both sides of the conflict.<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 25, 2023 |title="ويكيبيديا" وحرب غزة... حلبة صراع جديدة بين "كتائب" المحررين |url=https://www.independentarabia.com/node/521061/%D8%AA%D8%AD%D9%82%D9%8A%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D9%88%D9%85%D8%B7%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA/%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A7-%D9%88%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%A8-%D8%BA%D8%B2%D8%A9-%D8%AD%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%A9-%D8%B5%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B9-%D8%AC%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AF%D8%A9-%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%86-%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%A6%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231125131813/https://www.independentarabia.com/node/521061/%D8%AA%D8%AD%D9%82%D9%8A%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D9%88%D9%85%D8%B7%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA/%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A7-%D9%88%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%A8-%D8%BA%D8%B2%D8%A9-%D8%AD%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%A9-%D8%B5%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B9-%D8%AC%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AF%D8%A9-%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%86-%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%A6%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86 |archive-date=November 25, 2023 |access-date=December 30, 2023 |website=اندبندنت عربية}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Benjakob |first=Omer |date=November 17, 2023 |title=Netanyahu vs. Israeli Security Chiefs: Wikipedia Is New Front in Gaza War Blame Game |url=https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/security-aviation/2023-11-17/ty-article/.premium/blame-games-and-edit-wars-as-wikipedia-gets-pulled-into-the-israel-gaza-conflict/0000018b-dc57-d423-affb-fff77b460000 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20231117144248/https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/security-aviation/2023-11-17/ty-article/.premium/blame-games-and-edit-wars-as-wikipedia-gets-pulled-into-the-israel-gaza-conflict/0000018b-dc57-d423-affb-fff77b460000 |archive-date=17 November 2023 |access-date=2024-02-04 |work=[[Haaretz]] |language=en}}</ref>
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>
== Reliability of sources ==
The [[Wikipedia community]] has assessed the reliability of several Jewish sources. For instance, [[The Jewish Chronicle|''The Jewish Chronicle'']], a British newspaper, was declared a generally reliable source in 2021 despite concerns of bias. Editors debated the newspaper's coverage of [[left-wing]] and Muslim groups.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |last=Elia-Shalev |first=Asaf |date=2024-06-18 |title=ADL faces Wikipedia ban over reliability concerns on Israel, antisemitism |url=https://www.jta.org/2024/06/18/united-states/adl-faces-wikipedia-ban-over-reliability-concerns-on-israel-antisemitism |access-date=2024-07-04 |website=[[Jewish Telegraphic Agency]] |language=en-US |archive-date=2024-06-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240625033631/https://www.jta.org/2024/06/18/united-states/adl-faces-wikipedia-ban-over-reliability-concerns-on-israel-antisemitism |url-status=live }}</ref>
Also in 2021, a consensus was reached to prohibit the use of the [[Jewish Virtual Library]], an [[online encyclopedia]], as a source for most cases due to concern about its accuracy and bias towards Israel. In 2024, the pro-Israel advocacy group [[NGO Monitor]] was also prohibited as a source.<ref name=":8" />
=== Anti-Defamation League ===
In June 2024, the English Wikipedia community declared the [[Anti-Defamation League]] (ADL) a generally unreliable source about the conflict.<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 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240619231624/https://www.independent.co.uk/_build/init_register_wall.7a4ff50e71ffb5e9a1d9.js |archive-date=19 June 2024 |access-date=19 June 2024 |website=[[The Independent]]}}</ref><ref name=":8" /><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 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240619231736/https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/19/media/wikipedia-adl/index.html |archive-date=2024-06-19 |access-date=2024-06-19 |website=[[CNN Business]] |language=en}}</ref> An English Wikipedia administrator who evaluated the community's consensus for this discussion cited the existence of substantial evidence of the ADL acting as a "pro-Israeli advocacy group" that has published unretracted misinformation "to the point that it taints their reputation for accuracy and fact checking regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict", as well as a "habit on the ADL's part of conflating [[Criticism of Israel|criticism of the Israeli government's actions]] with antisemitism".<ref name="Bandler">{{cite news |last1=Bandler |first1=Aaron |date=21 June 2024 |title=Wikipedia Editors Label ADL Only Reliable for Antisemitism When "Israel and Zionism Are Not Concerned" |url=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 |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/ |archive-date=June 22, 2024 |access-date=22 June 2024 |work=[[Jewish Journal]]}}</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" />
The ADL criticized the decision, saying that it was part of a "campaign to delegitimize the ADL."<ref name="Independent ADL" /><ref name=":6" /> [[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" />
== Editing campaigns ==
Line 27 ⟶ 44:
In 2013, ''[[Haaretz]]'' reported the indefinite block of an editor who had concealed the fact that he was an employee of right-wing media group [[NGO Monitor]]. The editor was reported to have edited English Wikipedia articles on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict "in an allegedly biased manner".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.haaretz.com/news/features/aligning-text-to-the-right-is-a-political-organization-editing-wikipedia-to-suit-its-interests.premium-1.530285|title=Aligning Text to the Right: Is a Political Organization Editing Wikipedia to Suit Its Interests?|magazine=Haaretz|access-date=May 6, 2016|archive-date=July 13, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130713032949/http://www.haaretz.com/news/features/aligning-text-to-the-right-is-a-political-organization-editing-wikipedia-to-suit-its-interests.premium-1.530285|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>See also [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2013-06-19/In the media]]</ref>

=== Euro-Med Monitor's WikiRights project ===
According to [[Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor|Euro-Med Monitor]], there was a "dominance of the official government-issued narrative" in Wikipedia articles and "an almost complete absence of the narrative of victims of violations in different regions".

== Responses ==
''Haaretz'' journalist Omer Benjakob noted in 2021 that articles on the conflict are very different between the English, Hebrew and Arabic Wikipedias, and that the conflict is one of the three most regulated areas on English Wikipedia.<ref name="Haaretz 2021" /> In 2023, Stephen Harrison of ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'' wrote, "It shouldn't come as a surprise that Wikipedia is a better place to learn about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than [[Twitter|X]], [[TikTok]], and other social media platforms are."<ref name=":1" /
The [[World Jewish Congress]] (WJC) stated in a March 2024 report that "the state of the articles dealing with the conflict is alarming in its lack of neutrality." The WJC also stated that Wikipedia's [[comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany]] article "normalizes the unacceptable comparison" due to terms such as "occupation" and "military actions". The WJC also reported that "deletion attacks" occurred on Wikipedia, which resulted in the simultaneous deletion nominations of the articles for the [[Netiv HaAsara massacre|Netiv HaAsara]], [[Nir Yitzhak massacre|Nir Yitzhak]] and [[Holit massacre|Holit]] massacres, as well as
