Israel vs. Palestine on Wikipedia
This article discusses biases on wikipedia, particularly an anti-Israeli bias. The article goes on to discuss the issues of Wikipedia as a democracy, and the idea of Wikipedia's neutral point of view. Two organizations, a Palestinian organization called EI and an Israeli one called CAMERA, essentially took their battle of idealogical differences to the internet and used Wikipedia ans their front. A different perspective on the incident can be found here.

This is great. Thanks!
That is very interesting. Since Wiki is open to anyone an individual can write and contribute with a side in mind. Good article.
Thats cool. I actually found a site called Conservapedia, which feels that Wikipedia is too liberal in its views, so it would be interesting t see how they cover the Israel vs. Palestine conflict.
