Comment on Wikipedia co-founder joins editing conflict over the Gaza genocide page

“Israel is committing a genocide.” Is a factually neutral statement. I don"t see the problem. It’s no different thannsaying “The Earth is round.” Is that statement somehow taking a non-neutral stance on the flat earth topic?

The discussion on the talk page was basically nuh uh, loads of reputable sources like the Israeli and German governments say there’s no evidence of genocide, and even if they’re biased, anti-genocide NGOs are more biased because they have to accuse nations of genocide to justify their existence, with people responding to point out that’s not how Wikipedia’s rules work, and if it were, they’d have to rename the pages on various other genocides because there are very few that no nations deny.
