Reference 15 mentions this:
Technically the reference doesn't provide evidence for it, but Wikipedia aren't the arbiters of evidence or truth. They cite reputable sources, and if they conflict then they either mention that there are conflicting sources or in extreme cases pass a judgement on which is considered the more reliable source.
The source says it's true, so that's what Wikipedia followed.
"Is understood" is not evidence. In fact when disproven the source can easily claim that they were not certain about the claim either but simply "understood" it. There is no reason this one random person writing a line in their book is evidence for it.
Also, look at the Wikipedia entry in its enitirety. It is very obviously written by a Zionist trying to smear MEMO for being critical of Israel and grasping at any straw it can find. Calling MEMO "Hamas" in the intro without evidence, and other false smears to discredit MEMO.
And somehow, the page is edit protected. It is one of the most blatant examples of how Wikipedia is a biased and racist source.
