ADL faces Wikipedia ban over reliability concerns on Israel and antisemitism.

Wikipedia editors now deem the Anti-Defamation League “generally unreliable” on Israel-Palestine and potentially on antisemitism, citing bias and factual concerns.
(JTA) - Wikipedia’s editors have voted to declare the Anti-Defamation League “generally unreliable” on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, adding it to a list of banned and partially banned sources...
“ADL no longer appears to adhere to a serious, mainstream and intellectually cogent definition of antisemitism, but has instead given into the shameless politicization of the very subject that it was originally esteemed for being reliable on,” wrote an editor known as Iskandar323, whose request for a discussion about the ADL ultimately led to the ban.
In a written statement, the ADL said the decision by Wikipedia was the result of a ”campaign to delegitimize the ADL” and that editors opposing the ban “provided point by point refutations, grounded in factual citations, to every claim made, but apparently facts no longer matter.”

I don’t like increasing Palestinian influence at Wikipedia, but it’s tough to defend the ADL generally being a left-wing pressure group.
When it comes to censorship, the Israelis are in a league of their own. I’m not sure what it’s like in Israel but their control of free speech in the U.S. is breathtaking to behold. Through AIPAC agents and cash Israel controls DC. Thomas Massie stated last week that each member has his own AIPAC “babysitter”. How do you think Congress passed that fascist anti free speech regarding Israel nonsense this spring? BTW, AIPAC launched a $300,000 campaign against Massie before these statements. Censorship regarding Israel is always being urged against me because I call the DC/Bibi narrative out.
Commies at the ADL can get bent. They deserve everything bad that happens to them.
Hard feel bad for ADL
ADL can go burn in hell, then go burn on hell again.
Don’t care who does the burning.
Let them destroy each other and wiki while they are at it
