"Wikipedia’s editors declared that the Anti-Defamation League cannot be trusted to give reliable information on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and they overwhelmingly said the ADL is an unreliable source on antisemitism. It’s a stunning rebuke to one of the world’s preeminent authorities on anti-Jewish hate and a significant advocate for the rights and causes of American Jews."

@wdlindsy @martinvermeer Speaking as an American Jew, I don’t feel like the ADL has advocated for me for years. They are pro-Israel first, and interested in the welfare of American Jews and other Diaspora Jews as a distant second, if that.

@MisuseCase @martinvermeer Thank you for that good, clear statement, which echoes what I hear many Jewish people whom I esteem highly saying.

@wdlindsy @MisuseCase Wikipedia doesn't even go there. Their interest is building a trustworthy product built on factuality, a bit like the scientific community at its best - though, a different product. It has taken them decades to become as good as they are and build a model that resists the bad-faith actors, propagandists, agents of mendacity.

If folks like this call you unreliable, perhaps you're doing something wrong.

@martinvermeer @MisuseCase When you say, "Wikipedia doesn't even go there," I'm not really clear where "there" is. I'm not clear as to what you're saying, that is.

@wdlindsy @MisuseCase What @MisuseCase wrote about. That is also very real, but Wikipedia's problem is only with their factual trustworthiness.
