Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales has entered the Talk page for the Gaza genocide article and says in his opinion calling it genocide is a violation of NPOV (Wikipedia's "neutral point of view" policy) (en.wikipedia.org)

For those unfamiliar with wikipedia processes, tldr talk pages are where discussion about articles happens. See Help:Talk pages for details.

Link goes to the talk page as of the currently-latest edit by Jimbo; here is the diff showing other edits to it since then.

It is clearly defined, but deciding what fits that definition and what doesn't is not at all objective, it totally depends on which side you're on. And since accusing somebody of something implies you're yourself innocent, accusing of genocide is saying "they bad we good", thus dehumanizing "them" as irrational "bad" and rejecting the attempt to understand the conflict in its entirety and in its controversial nature.

Genocide is bad, genocide denialism and apologia is bad. Fuck off

Apart from the fact that virtually every genocide expert has declared this a genocide. Including those from Israel.
