Worth noting that Jimmy Wales, one of the founders of Wikipedia who is (to my knowledge) still involved is (was?) a pretty obvious proponent for Israel

Wales has visited Israel over ten times. He has said that he is "a strong supporter of Israel". In 2015, he was awarded one of the Dan David Prizes, an international award of $1 million given yearly at Tel Aviv University (10 percent of the prize goes to doctoral students). Wales was chosen for spearheading what the prize committee called the "information revolution."

Be interesting to see if this sticks

iirc he's a libertarian dweeb, so no shock there. ~~i wanna say ayn rand was the first complete page or something~~ i looked it up, it was the home page and then atlas shrugged lol

Wales doesn't have editorial control over Wikipedia as far as I know. Regardless of his ayn rant objectivist beliefs, he's a bit too removed from those levers of power to just force the edit back.
