The Exodus Movement: what Wikipedia removed
The Exodus Movement, formerly Jexodus, is a right-wing group urging Jews to leave the Democratic Party. Through 2020 the opening quoted the group’s mission statement, “the simple, formerly non-controversial idea that Anti-Semitism must never be mainstreamed by the media or by any political party,” and explained that the name change followed ridicule of “Jexodus.” Today’s opening carries neither passage, though antisemitism survives three times in the body. A reader today does not learn the organization’s own stated reason for existing or why it changed its name.
The word “antisemitism” appeared 3 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2020. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 3. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
