== Hasbara ==
Wikipedia articles are biased towards Israel (often outrageously so) because Wikipedia is the target of a great deal of Hasbara activity. Most people give up trying to remedy this because the Hasbara activity is so well funded. However the pinkwashing section of this article (as just one example) has so many sneaky biases that I cannot possibly let it pass without comment. Where shall I start. First off why is "Pinkwashing" in quotation marks. Any section on wikipedia could be portrayed as opinion so why are all sections on all articles not also in quotation marks.
Statements criticising Israeli pinkwashing are qualified with words such as "claims" and "negative stereotypes". Criticisms of Israel are interspersed with pro-Israel narratives which are not qualified as "claims" or "stereotypes". Worse still, Alan Dershowitz - whose pro-Israel advocacy is hypocritical and rife with logical fallacies and double standards - is allowed to condemn critics of Israel's pinkwashing as anti-semites and bigots and claim that only a gay radicals consider Israel to be engaged in pinkwashing.
As usual these biases occur mostly within the rules of wikipedia as Israeli govt employees are sophisticated at doing this. Furthermore they're paid to edit Wikipedia as their job, so normal people who can't spend all day countering this activity tend to just give up.
