jewishvoiceforpeace We join cair_national and 42 other organizations to urge the Wikimedia Board of Trustees and Wikipedia editors to reject and block the efforts of Wikimedia co-founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger to deny the inescapable conclusion that the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza.
We also call on Wales, Sanger, and wikimediafoundation trustees to reveal all sources of external pressure to deny the Gaza genocide, including from Israeli government officials or pro-lsrael advocacy networks.
We live in a moment rife with misinformation, repression, and censorship. The Trump administration is taking aim at the freedom of the press and paving the way for mass media corporations to consolidate under far-right ownership. Sites like Wikipedia, which provide collectively sourced and rigorously edited public information are more crucial than ever.
We cannot allow Wikipedia to cover up the irrefutable truth that the Israeli government is committing a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. We call on Wikipedia's co-founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger to stop censoring the Gaza Genocide entry that clearly document it.
