Electronic Intifada: A Pro-Israel Group's Plan to Rewrite History on Wikipedia (4/21/08)
Captured emails from workers and supporters of the anti-Palestinian media organization CAMERA show thepressure group is orchestrating a secret, long-term campaign to infiltrate the popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia to rewrite Palestinian history, pass off crude propaganda as fact, and take over Wikipedia administrative structures to ensure these changes go either undetected or unchallenged.
Though hardly the first time the populist media site has come under attack, CAMERA's emails are particularly insidious in that "stealth and misrepresentation are presented as the keys to success."
