Yad Natan: what Wikipedia removed
Yad Natan is an Israeli moshav named for Ottó Komoly, a Zionist leader in Hungary. Through 2015 the opening said he “was murdered in 1945, apparently for anti-Semitic reasons.” Today the word antisemitism is nowhere in the article; the opening gives only the moshav’s location and population. A reader today does not learn that the man the settlement is named for was murdered for antisemitic reasons.
The word “antisemitism” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
