Wikipedia bias: One side's crimes are facts; the other's are “allegations”
A documented pattern from the Wikipedia audit (checked 2026-06).
Oct 7 sexual violence
Section titled “Oct 7 sexual violence”Israeli victims were “reportedly subjected to sexual violence”; the perpetrators are “accused”; Hamas’s denial sits in the opening paragraph, though a UN team found “reasonable grounds to believe” rape and gang-rape occurred. Beside it, the Gaza genocide page states Israel’s guilt as flat fact.

Incitement to genocide
Section titled “Incitement to genocide”The article documents Israeli officials (Gallant, Smotrich) as cases of incitement, and cites no Hamas or Palestinian incitement at all, though the 1988 charter, “from the river to the sea” and “Khaybar” are all on the record. No Antisemitism in the State of Palestine article exists.

Human shields
Section titled “Human shields”Hamas firing from hospitals, schools and tunnels under civilians is reduced to a “contested” accusation that “independent investigations” found “no evidence” for, and recast as an Israeli “pre-emptive legal defence.” Israeli strikes, meanwhile, are war crimes.

War crimes in the Gaza war
Section titled “War crimes in the Gaza war”The lead says “both Hamas and the IDF”, then the body gives roughly 80% of its space to Israeli allegations, the “By Israel” section running long before the short “By Palestinian militants” one.
