Wikipedia’s War on Truth: How Anti-Israel Activists Hijacked the World’s Encyclopedia


Listen Later

In this hard-hitting episode of the Israeli-American Podcast, ICAN CEO Dillon Hosier and Chief Policy Officer John Mirisch sit down with Aaron Bandler, national correspondent for Jewish News Syndicate (JNS), to expose how Wikipedia—once heralded as a democratic source of knowledge—has become a digital front line in the war against Israel and the Jewish people.

Together they uncover how organized activist networks coordinate to rewrite entries on Israel, Hamas, and antisemitism—often erasing key facts, amplifying anti-Israel talking points, and punishing editors who dare to restore accuracy. The hosts lay bare how this manipulation shapes headlines, misinforms students, and poisons civic discourse.

Bandler describes his investigative reporting into these covert editorial campaigns, while Hosier and Mirisch connect the dots between online bias and real-world policy outcomes—from classrooms to legislatures. They call on listeners to recognize Wikipedia as a battleground for public perception, not a neutral reference, and to join ICAN’s mission to fight digital antisemitism with transparency, data, and truth.
