Rafael Medoff, of the David Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies: Wikipedia is publishing “malicious Holocaust inversion”
It takes Wikipedia nearly 7,500 words into its main entry on China to mention the word “genocide,” tucked in a section on “sociopolitical issues and human rights,” and even then, the crowdsourced online encyclopedia hedges.
“Since 2017, the Chinese government has been engaged in a harsh crackdown in Xinjiang, with around one million Uyghurs and other ethnic and religion minorities being detained in internment camps aimed at changing the political thinking of detainees, their identities and their religious beliefs, in what some described as a genocide or crimes against humanity,” Wikipedia states.
As of Dec. 11, Wikipedia states as a matter of fact, just some 425 words into its main page on Israel, that “following the Oct. 7 attacks in 2023, Israel began committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.”
