Antisemitism on Wikipedia

However, the fallout from the 2022 increase in biased editing identified by the [[Anti-Defamation League]] and subsequent questionable activity during the [[Gaza War]] has not been fully addressed. The [[World Jewish Congress]] accused Wikipedia of antisemitic bias in its coverage of Israel-related topics, particularly following the [[October 7th attacks]] in 2023.{{Cite web |title=Wikipedia entries show anti-Israel bias says WJC |url=https://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/news/wikipedia-entries-show-anti-israel-bias-says-wjc |website=[[World Jewish Congress]] |date=19 March 2024 |access-date=1 October 2024 |archive-date=5 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241005022424/https://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/news/wikipedia-entries-show-anti-israel-bias-says-wjc |url-status=live }} In 2024, the English Wikipedia was criticized for [[Perennial sources list#Anti-Defamation League|deciding]] the [[Anti-Defamation League]] (ADL), a [[non-governmental organization]] founded to address antisemitism and [[prejudice]], was a "generally unreliable" source on the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]].
