Author Accuses Wikipedia and Others of Fabricating History of Israel-Hamas Conflict

Summarized from Israel National News by baba

RightInflammatory tone

English · Sole source

Rabbi Yaakov Mencken criticizes Wikipedia's portrayal of the October 7 Hamas attacks and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, arguing it omits atrocities and misrepresents Gaza's situation. He claims the term "Palestine" and the Palestinian identity were created to erase Jewish ties to the land. Mencken asserts that labeling Israelis as occupiers and Gazans as refugees are falsehoods built upon this foundation. He concludes that accusing Israel of "genocide" is the ultimate lie, used to shield Hamas.
