In the OP, the first example he used was of 'pro-palestinian propagandists', which made me think like you, but as I read more, most of his examples are actually of misdeeds by 'pro-Israel' propagandists.

I suspect he's actually partial to the Palestinian side, actually, although he tried to use examples from both partisan sides to paint a general picture of propaganda on wikipedia.

(Disclosure: I personally believe that Israeli policies and practices toward Palestinians constitute apartheid.)



Thanks, this might be a perfect example.

GP is not the only one in this thread to have this opinion.

Now that this has been brought to light, can everyone who was about to comment please take your own biases up for review?

Being on the "right" side doesn't mean you can skip careful reading and critical thought, does it?


Well, um, of course not, especially since you need that careful reading and critical thought to identify the propaganda the 'other' side is trying to embed in wikipedia. Naturally.
