In the letter, Comer and Mace referenced a report from the Anti-Defamation League, in which they allege that Wikipedia coordinated a campaign to manipulate entries related to the War in Gaza, which they allege advanced “antisemitic and anti-Israel information.”

“As our research showed earlier this year, antisemitism and anti-Israel bias on Wikipedia are a significant problem. We welcome the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform opening an investigation into this issue and thank Rep. James Comer for his leadership effort to address this hate,” in a statement released by ADL on Wednesday, Aug. 27.

The lawmakers also referenced a report from the think tank, Atlantic Council, which alleged that pro-Russia actors used Wikipedia to push pro-Kremlin messaging on its platform.

      Don’t forget that the Christian Right are also zionists who want this too. And they run this fucking place.

        The Christian right and Israel have a relationship based on mutual disdain of Muslims, economic ties, and a stream of PAC money. Deep down though, the right has a long antisemitic history that will eventually overtake that marriage of convenience. Based on history, I don’t think the right is truly zionist and when that relationship becomes less advantageous, they will turn on Israel.

          The ones that believe the apocalypse and rapture are dependent on shit going down in Jerusalem will always support it.

          That’s what Huckabee was giving tours about. Before he became the fucking ambassador.

    Reactionaries will never stop crying about how everyone is unfair to them. Even when they get everything they want, they’re still livid that people disagree with them about anything.
