After a rightist group opened the first-ever Zionist editing group aimed at defending "Israel" on Wikipedia, a Palestinian organization plans to create its own Wikipedia editing program.

According to head of Palestinian Journalists Syndicate organization, the organization is setting up editing groups to ensure Palestinian view is presented online, highlighting that the next regional war will be a "media war". 


Abdul Nasser An-Najar, Head of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, told the Bethlehem-based Maan news agency that his organization plans to set up editing groups to counter attempts to present "Israel's" view on Wikipedia. He urged the Palestinian Authority to take part in the initiative.
An-Najar warned that the next regional war would be a "media war," adding that online information on the "Israeli"-Arab conflict shapes world opinion. 


The Yesha Council of Settlements and Yisrael Sheli, two organizations that are mainly responsible for constructing "Israeli" enemy settlements on Palestinian occupied territories in the West Bank, organized the course in Al Quds (Jerusalem).

From all over the ‘Israeli" settlements, came settlers including media professionals, in order to participate in the course, so they would learn how to manipulate the online information to serve their political agenda, and most importantly, without being detected.

Director of the Yesha Council, Naftali Bennett, said, "The Internet is not managed well enough, and "Israel's" position there is appalling. Take for example the Turkish flotilla to Gaza. During the first hours we were nowhere to be found. In those first hours millions of people typed the words Gaza-bound flotilla and read what was written on Wikipedia".
In a one-day seminar, lecturers taught dozens of participants how to ensure that "Israel's" view is presented on the online encyclopedia.

The Zionist enemy aims at misleading the whole world, driving it to its political, dangerous agenda. The individual, who would be able to make the most Zionist changes in the online encyclopedia, will be receiving an award entitled "Best Zionist Editor".
