This week in Jerusalem, two Israeli groups hoping to smite their online enemies, both domestic and foreign, began a course in the “Zionist editing” of Wikipedia entries.

At the opening seminar, attended by about 80 activists, one of the organizers, Naftali Bennett, said that the aim of the course is to make sure that information in the online encyclopedia reflects the worldview of Zionist groups. For example, he said, “if someone searches [for] ‘the Gaza flotilla,’ we want to be there; to influence what is written there, how it’s written and to ensure that it is balanced and Zionist in nature.”

Readers Discuss Wikipedia Editing Course That Aims for ‘Balanced and Zionist’ Entries

Since it touched on two subjects of great interest to readers of The Lede, Wikipedia and Israel, it is not surprising that Friday’s post, “Wikipedia Editing for Zionists” — about an initiative to edit entries in the online encyclopedia to make them “balanced and Zionist in nature” — has generated an impassioned debate in one of our comment threads.

While several Israeli readers argued that the initiative was necessary in a part of the world where even the term “facts on the ground” is used as a euphemism — for the dispute over Israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian land — some readers who take part in the editing of Wikipedia entries objected to the effort to make the encyclopedia conform to an ideological point of view.

Miriam Schwab, a Canadian-Israeli blogger who participated in a seminar last week in Jerusalem teaching supporters of Israel to edit Wikipedia, wrote on Twitter on Monday that the Lede post on the initiative, which included a video interview she had given to an Israeli broadcaster, was “a horrible report” that made the editing course “look like some Zionist conspiracy to take over Wikipedia.”
