      I like how that page sources one of the most prominent Israeli genocide deniers as an authority

      All definitions of genocide involve ethnicity, race, or religion as a motivational factor.[5] Genocide scholar Israel Charny has proposed a definition of genocide in the course of colonization.[7]

          According to the “scholar” Israel, the settler colonial genocide enterprise, is not committing genocide. So his definition can be thrown into the trash.

              A definition of genocide which does not encompass the most obvious genocide in world history is a worthless definition of genocide.

              Plenty of other definitions exist of non genocide advocates.

        Do you have an approved list of scholars that Wikipedia is allowed to reference on the subject?

        Seriously though the linked article seems pretty thoroughly referenced and it’s not like he’s the only source. He certainly has the academic background to be quoted and his Wikipedia page even calls out his views on Gaza.

          All references to his work should be scrubbed as he clearly holds no expertise on the matter. If anything the opposite.

          Him being quoted in articles like this shows how infested Wikipedia is with propaganda. Israelis raid Wikipedia to put their own propagandists in there as authorities.

          Campists always do this. They find one source, reference, leader etc that is problematic, even if they have to stretch reality to do so, even if they are a minor participant, and use it to dismiss everything they disagree with

            It’s really telling that this got downvoted here. I’m amazed they didn’t remove it, ban it, then snark on hexbear.

            Facts are CIA propaganda, I guess?

              Zionist propaganda is “facts” now apparently, according to our resident “anarchists”

            If you see Zionists the same as Nazis this would be akin to putting a Goebbels quote in the article.

            But you do not see Zionists as Nazis clearly.

            Facts hurt their feelings and that’s why needed to make Conservapedia but in Red flavor.

              What facts hurt the feelings of socialists, and why is making an explicitly Marxist-Leninist wiki a bad thing if it’s all sourced properly?

                Facts, that’s why Prolewiki isn’t sourced properly. School essays are better sourced.

                    I mean it straight up asserts Tianamin square was a CIA backed riot that was justly put down by the authorities.
