It's Not Just Israel

This blog is devoted to Wikipedia's war against Israel, but Israel is not the only victim of rampant "POV-pushing" that is theoretically outlawed by Wiki rules, but which runs rampant. Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger addressed the issue in 2021 in an interview on Lockdown entitled "Wikipedia co-founder: I no longer trust the website I created."

On Wikipedia’s Left-wing bias:

You can’t cite the Daily Mail at all. You can’t cite Fox News on socio-political issues either. It’s banned. So what does that mean? It means that if a controversy does not appear in the mainstream centre-Left media, then it’s not going to appear on Wikipedia.

Exactly. Sources! That's what it's all about. Al Jazeera is used copiously throughout Wikipedia even though it is Qatari state media and a Hamas mouthpiece.

How Wikipedia entries are distorted: 

There are companies like Wiki PR, where paid writers and editors will go in and change articles. Maybe there’s some way to make such a system work, but not if the players who are involved and who are being paid are not identified by name — they actually are supposed to be identified by name and say ‘we represent this firm’ if they are officially registered with some sort of Wikipedia editing firm. But they don’t have to do that.

There's a similar but worse problem with Israel. Paid anti-Israel hacks are supplemented by an army of anti-Israel volunteers and a hostile "administration." Due to anonymity, it is impossible to distinguish between dedicated amateurs and professional propagandists. All we can do is surmise.
