| | + | Ilhan Omar’s father, Nur Omar Mohamed, served as a colonel in Somalia’s military under Islamo-socialist dictator Siad Barre. The regime’s military carried out mass killings, torture and other atrocities against the Isaaq people - genocide of 200,000. Mohamed remained loyal to the regime until its collapse and arrived in the United States as a refugee in 1995. Questions have been raised about his military background, refugee eligibility and naturalization records, as well as whether Omar qualified for derivative citizenship through him. Federal investigators are examining immigration issues involving Omar and her family. A separate investigation concerns her financial disclosures, campaign spending and payments to her husband’s firm. The commentary also links Somali officials and former military commanders to alleged abuses and argues that US immigration and refugee procedures failed to prevent individuals connected to the former regime from entering the country. |

The discussion portrays the Muslim Brotherhood as an Islamist movement opposed to Western principles, including individual rights, free speech and the separation of religion and state, and identifies Hamas as an offshoot. It warns that progressive political movements are enabling Islamists to gain influence through democratic institutions. |

| | + | |
| | + | A Canadian Arab led pro-Palestinian organization, Artists Against Artwashing, plans to hold a [[Wikipedia]] editing event to honor Palestinian artists it calls martyrs and highlight Canadian and Zionist supporters it accuses of backing genocide. The event will include Palestinian short films, an introductory Wikipedia session, and hands-on editing. The initiative has raised concerns about Wikipedia’s neutrality because it organizes contributors around a predetermined political objective. Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger said coordinated editing to advance a controversial viewpoint constitutes canvassing and should result in blocks. WikiBias also questioned the initiative’s stated goal of changing the narrative. |
| | + | |
| | + | Artists Against Artwashing campaigns for cultural institutions to divest from what it calls settler colonialism and genocide. Its main campaign targets the Azrieli Foundation, the charitable counterpart of the Israeli real estate company Azrieli Group. The organization previously held a Wikipedia editing workshop focused on articles associated with the foundation. Edits to the Azrieli Group article coincided with the workshop in April. One newly registered account made a single edit, while another edited the Azrieli Group and David Azrieli articles and later received a warning for edit warring. |
| | + | |
| | + | Arab led Pro-Palestinian organizations have also organized Wikipedia editing workshops related to the Israel-Hamas war. Hamas linked Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor operates a program called WikiRights that trains Palestinians in human rights research, documentation, and Wikipedia editing in Arabic and English. Its third edition began in Gaza in February, targeting 12 young Palestinian participants. |
| | + | |
| | + | The Anti-Defamation League’s Center for Technology and Society released a report finding that biased edits remain in major Wikipedia articles about Israel, Zionism, Hamas, and Jewish history. The report follows an investigation that documented a coordinated campaign involving approximately 30 editors who sought to influence articles about Israel, Jewish history, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. |
| | + | |
| | + | The ADL found that biased edits remain in Wikipedia articles despite bans against several editors. On six major articles, 91 percent of one banned editor’s contributions remain in the live text. Documentation of the October 7 attacks, including evidence of sexual violence, has not been restored to the Gaza war article. |
| | + | |
| | + | The report identified 19 active accounts editing Israel- and Palestine-related articles, including eight previously identified editors who had not been sanctioned and 11 newly identified editors. Their methods have become more subtle, allowing them to maintain preferred narratives through reversions, qualified factual statements, and gradual changes. Across 229 articles edited by multiple accounts, the 11 newly identified editors made the most recent edits to roughly 60 percent of the pages. |
| | + | |
| | + | The Hamas article was restructured shortly after October 7, 2023, moving material about antisemitism, human shields, child combatants, and human rights abuses to a less-read article. The main article’s introduction now identifies Hamas as a designated terrorist organization only near the end of the section. |
| | + | |
| | + | The Gaza war article lost approximately 17,000 characters of text and citations documenting October 7 atrocities, including evidence of sexual violence, victims bound with wire and burned, and video evidence of an attempted decapitation. Another 7,400 characters were removed two days later, leaving a brief reference to terrorists who “reportedly engaged” in such violence. |
| | + | |
| | + | The Zionism article defines Zionism through colonization and states that Zionists sought a state with as few[sic] Palestinian Arabs as possible. Wikipedia editors have flagged the wording as disputed. One account made 543 edits, adding approximately 193,000 characters and removing about 188,000, substantially changing the article despite a small net change in length. |
| | + | |
| | + | The report found that editors named in its investigation made 832 of 9,576 revisions across four pages and their discussion pages concerning sexual violence during the October 7 attacks. The article on sexual and gender-based violence continues to frame the violence against Israeli women and girls as something that was “reportedly” inflicted, despite multiple reports confirming it. |
| | + | |
| | + | After the Bibas family’s bodies were returned in February 2025, an editor who had not been sanctioned made 64 edits to the family’s article and discussion page, keeping the circumstances of their deaths open to dispute despite Israeli forensic authorities’ conclusion that they were murdered in captivity. |
| | + | |
| | + | The ADL renewed recommendations for private identity verification in contentious topic areas, ending anonymous IP editing on sensitive pages, resolving content disputes on merit, and creating a dedicated task force on antisemitic bias. It also called for a structured audit of articles heavily edited by banned contributors and urged search engines and AI developers to disclose when their answers rely on Wikipedia.

El-Sayed visibly angry first avoiding a straight reply, scuffing, then denied having any connection to the organization and rejected the questions as based on hearsay. The questions followed his half-sister’s social media statements that their mother had been involved with the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1970s. |
| | + | |
| | + | The discussion also focused on El-Sayed’s refusal to identify whether Israel or Iran posed the greater threat to the United States. [[Pete Buttigieg]] said Iran was an enemy and Israel was an ally, but confirmed he would vote for El-Sayed over Republican candidate [[Mike Rogers]]. Panelists slammed El-Sayed’s confrontational responses to journalists and questioned how he would handle pressure and national security responsibilities as a senator. |
| | + | |
| | + | The panel discussed the potential electoral consequences of the controversy in Michigan, including the state’s Jewish vote and the need for candidates to attract independents. Some panelists argued that El-Sayed’s response to questions about his family and his position on Israel and Iran could hurt his campaign. They also discussed his support for abolishing ICE, demonizing Israel, connections between his family and Islamist organizations, financing by Islamists and his adoration of Muslim Brotherhood founder's grandson Tariq Ramadan in jail for rape. and his backing Sharia law. |
| | + | |
| | + | The panel contrasted El-Sayed with Mike Rogers, a former U.S. Army official who served 14 years in Congress. Rogers’s Heritage Foundation score during his congressional tenure was 53 percent, placing him near the political center by the panel’s assessment. |

| | + | - Sinwar’s letter: He urged Hamas terrorists to document the October 7, 2023, massacre, including graphic footage of point-blank shootings and the killing of victims, to create “horrific images.” |
| | + | |
| | + | The IDF also released footage of the operation that eliminated him. |
| | + | |
| | + | - His son’s letter: Ibrahim Sinwar, then 10 years old, wrote to his father expressing a desire to hold a Kalashnikov rifle and “shoot the Jews.” The letter, decorated with drawings of tanks and missiles and a Spider-Man sticker, was recovered by Israeli soldiers in Gaza in 2024. |
