Anti-Israel bias and skewed representations of the Israel–Hamas conflict have permeated much of the English Wikipedia. This trend became especially pronounced after the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7, 2023, when significant revisions were made across most related entries. Given the vast number of affected articles, selecting the ones to feature was a complex task.  

Ultimately, seven entries were chosen that reflect a range of editorial distortions, from selective terminology to framing tactics and blurring of facts. These articles demonstrate the breadth and depth of bias regarding Israel and the conflict.

As the comparison of dates indicates, most of the narrative shifts occurred within the past two years, though some began much earlier:

  • “Zionism”: July 9, 2023 vs. March 28, 2025
  • “Jerusalem”: September 28, 2008 vs. March 28, 2025
  • “History of Israel”: September 29, 2022 vs. March 28, 2025
  • “Israeli–Palestinian conflict”: July 9, 2023 vs. March 28, 2025
  • “Israeli–Palestinian peace process”: January 8, 2023 vs. March 28, 2025
  • “1948 Palestine war”: October 14, 2022 vs. March 28, 2025
  • “Mujahideen Brigades”: September 4, 2024 vs. March 28, 2025

Each image in the exhibition presents the first few paragraphs of the article, capturing the immediate tone, emphasis, and perspective that frame the article and set the chosen narrative.

To emphasize the deliberate and biased changes made to these articles over time and to expose how key aspects of history have been manipulated, green highlights indicatecontent removed from earlier versions, while red highlights mark content added in recent revisions.

This catalog presents a brief analysis of each of the seven articles featured in the exhibition. In some instances, it also includes insights from the articles’ “Talk” pages and relevant statistical data. Full transcriptions of the quoted excerpts, along with exact references, are available through the articles’ revision histories.
