Abdullah Nimar Darwish: what Wikipedia removed
Sheikh Abdullah Nimar Darwish founded the Islamic Movement in Israel. The 2010 opening said that in 1979 he established “an underground organization called Usrat al-Jihad (‘The Family of Jihad’), whose goal was to establish ‘an Arab Islamic state in Palestine,’” and that he was later “convicted of membership in a terrorist organization.” Today’s opening says only that he founded the Islamic Movement in Israel, though jihad survives three times in the body. A reader today does not learn that Darwish founded a group called “The Family of Jihad” or that he was convicted of belonging to a terrorist organization.
The word “occupation” appeared 3 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 4. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
