    I like how that page sources one of the most prominent Israeli genocide deniers as an authority

    All definitions of genocide involve ethnicity, race, or religion as a motivational factor.[5] Genocide scholar Israel Charny has proposed a definition of genocide in the course of colonization.[7]

      Do you have an approved list of scholars that Wikipedia is allowed to reference on the subject?

      Seriously though the linked article seems pretty thoroughly referenced and it’s not like he’s the only source. He certainly has the academic background to be quoted and his Wikipedia page even calls out his views on Gaza.

        All references to his work should be scrubbed as he clearly holds no expertise on the matter. If anything the opposite.

        Him being quoted in articles like this shows how infested Wikipedia is with propaganda. Israelis raid Wikipedia to put their own propagandists in there as authorities.
