[Banned wiki Islamofascist] 'Iskandar323' picked the wrong jurisdiction in which to become one of the world’s leading pro-Hamas propagandists

Edmund Fitton-Brown @EFittonBrown Oh dear. Iskandar323 picked the wrong jurisdiction in which to become one of the world’s leading pro-Hamas propagandists. The #UAE takes a dim view of foreigners who abuse their hospitality by supporting terrorist groups. It would be a pity if the Emiratis learned his identity. Quote WikiBias @WikiBias · Mar 23 Investigations have revealed that Iskandar323, the recently banned editor, who worked to rewrite Jewish history and whitewash the Iranian regime and Hamas, is an English journalist based in the United Arab Emirates.

Wow 50k edits!!!!

In early January, Wikipedia’s Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) unanimously voted to ban Iskandar323, a prominent member with 49,413 documented edits, of what investigators have termed the “Gang of 40,” a coordinated network of editors accused of systematically manipulating content related to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Wikipedia Editors are Rewriting Reality - MERCAZ.
Wikipedia and AI Alter Reality.
April 7, 2026.

Wikipedia is one of the most trusted sources of information in the world – and it is consistently manipulated. What appears to be neutral, crowdsourced knowledge often is shaped by a small number of highly active, anonymous editors who control narratives on controversial topics. This editorial influence does not stay on Wikipedia – it spreads through search engines, media coverage and almost all AI systems, forming a pipeline of disinformation that quietly shapes what billions of people believe.
The Gang of 40 Controls What Billions Read
A small group of very active and biased Wikipedia editors has spent years shaping how billions of people understand global events, Israel and Jewish identity. Known as the “Gang of 40,” they dominate important pages, control which news sources are accepted and remove views that challenge their ideological framing.
The hundreds of thousands of Wikipedia editors are supposed to be volunteers who create new encyclopedia entries and make edits, additions or changes to existing articles in their fields of expertise. However, many editors are actually activists – not neutral contributors – and even paid by foreign governments, non-profit organizations and specialized PR firms.
Some editors openly display ideological positions on their user profiles. Prominent editor Abo Yemen “wants Israel to be kicked out of the UN” and replaced by a Palestinian state – but yet remains an active Wikipedia editor on the Middle East.
The Gang of 40 has collectively made millions of false or malicious changes to pages and often rewrites entire sections related to Judaism, Israel and the Middle East, according to investigative reporting by Ashley Rindsberg. These highly coordinated editors dominate many important and contested pages – including high-traffic pages with millions of annual views – a stark contrast to Wikipedia’s portrayal as a welcoming, democratic community.
Some of the G40 have been involved in discussions on the topic entry about last year’s terror attack on a Hanukkah event in Australia – the terrorists murdered 15 innocent people at Bondi Beach. Wikipedia editors have pushed back against calling it a terror attack and directly linking it to radical Islam – even though the perpetrators had an Islamic State flag in their car.
Disciplinary action has been very limited. Wikipedia’s Arbitration Committee – its highest-ranking authority – banned G40 kingpin Iskandar323 in January. This editor led the charge to successfully downgrade the Anti-Defamation League – a leading Jewish American civil rights organization – as a source. Even before Oct. 7 attacks, Iskandar edited pages on Iran, Hamas, Islamic terrorism, antisemitism and Jewish history – including rewriting Jewish history as Palestinian history.
Iskandar deleted a long list of proven facts, including:
* A list of persecutions of Coptic Christians by Egyptian Muslims.
* Iranian human rights abuses.
* Documentation of Hamas’s genocidal intentions.
* Language about antisemitism in the UK’s Labour party.
