Hadassah (organization): what Wikipedia removed
Hadassah, the American Jewish women’s organization that funds hospitals in Jerusalem through the Hadassah Medical Organization. The 2015 opening said the new Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower included “5 below-ground floors for protection from terrorist attacks.” Today the word appears 0 times in the opening, though it survives once in the body. A reader today does not learn that the hospital’s underground floors were built specifically to protect patients from terrorist attacks.
The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2015. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
