About this wiki

This wiki is the reference companion to ilroot.com, a heritage site about the land and people of Israel. The main site tells the story editorially; this wiki atomizes the same research into one article per topic, organized for lookup rather than reading order.

  • Questions & answers: the conflict’s famous questions, split honestly into settled (documented answers) and genuinely open.
  • Who attacked first: every war’s opening, documented, including the wars where Israel fired the first shot and what preceded the shot.
  • Cities & places: each city’s names across Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Arabic, who founded it, and who lives there now.
  • Claims, checked: viral claims graded False, Misleading, or Contested against the evidence.
  • Myths & misconceptions and Holocaust denial, answered: the old libels and the new ones, each with the record.
  • Media & Wikipedia bias: documented editing patterns on Israel-related articles, with links so you can verify today’s version yourself.
  • Glossary: 170+ terms defined plainly.

Every article here is generated from the same research base as the main site, where each major claim carries its citations: UN documents, treaty texts, period records, scholarship. Follow any article’s link back to the main site for the full context and the claim-by-claim citation index.

Where a question is genuinely contested, the article says so. A reference that claims everything is settled is doing the same thing as one that claims nothing is.

This project is openly pro-Israel and pro-truth, in that order. It corrects propaganda with documents, concedes what honest history concedes, and treats readers as adults. If you find an error, check the sources page and write in; being correctable is the point.
