Emergency Committee for Israel: what Wikipedia removed

Published because it cuts against us as readily as for us: this pro-Israel advocacy group’s opening once recorded its video “portraying Occupy Wall Street as anti-Semitic”. Antisemitism ran at 4 mentions and is 0 today.

The word “antisemitism” appeared 4 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2015. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-02.
