Quote from him:

I assume good faith of everyone who has worked on this Gaza “genocide” article. At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipedia’s voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested.

A neutral approach would begin with a formulation such as: “Multiple governments, NGOs, and legal bodies have described or rejected the characterization of Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.”

Respect for Jimmy Wales 📉📉

It is not at all contested per common definitions of genocide, which was the question.

Lawyers call it genocide. Historians call it genocide. International bodies that specialise in discussing genocide all call it genocide.

The only people who disagree are the Israeli government and their supporters. So, Jimmy Wales' position is partisan bullshit.
