Disrupts Apartheid article

edit

Apartheid: Adds reference to South Africa being settled by Jews[1], and insists they must be mentioned as a group separate from all other Europeans[2]. Reverts the information into the article over 50 times, using various IPs, sockpuppets with attack names and/or "Jewish" names, and insists his version must stay until discussion is "resolved" to his satisfaction.[3] Is reverted in turn multiple times by 10 different editors [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13], and is opposed in Talk: by still others. Refers to those reverting him as "Jewish supremacists" (e.g.[14] [15]). Attempts to insert this information into the South Africa article as well (e.g. [16] [17]) where his edits are reverted by still more editors (e.g. [18] [19] ). Apartheid article is eventually re-directed to History of South Africa in the apartheid era, a far more thorough and complete article; while the anon is on "vacation", an anonymous editor blanks the page,[20] and then an hour later a related IP inserts the old Apartheid article (in the version preferred by the Disruptive Editor) in its place.[21] Because it looks like vandalism repair, this goes undetected for 2 days.[22] Four days later the Disruptive Apartheid editor returns, and defends the deletion and replacement of the article, insisting the real issue is "crazy Jewish bias" and "Jewish-biased editors".[23]

Disrupts Daniel Pipes article

edit

Daniel Pipes: Insists that Pipes must be described as a "Jew" or "Jewish" in the intro. In 2 days, starting on August 7 reverts this into the article 16 times, including 10 times in one 19 hour period using 5 different IP addresses and one sockuppet, until he is stopped from editing for a week via range blocks.[24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] Returns on August 25 and reverts the information in twice more. [40] [41] Spends time building up a sockpuppet army, then returns on September 15 and re-inserts information about Pipes being Jewish 8 more times.[42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49]

Disrupts White (people) article

edit

White (people): Edit wars on the article with four primary editors for several months, using multiple sockpuppets and IPs, starting in June 2005. Adds a long section listing "Famous White People" who have made "The Greatest Inventions of All Times".[50] Edit wars out references to "anti-White" author Noel Ignatiev's book How the Irish Became White (e.g.[51] [52] [53] [54]), while revert-warring in links to White Supremacist sites that, for example, blame Anti-Semitism on "the propensity of their (the Jews) financial dealings" (e.g. [55] [56] [57] [58] [59] [60] [61] [62] [63] [64] [65] [66]). In general, tries to remove all references to White Nationalism and White Supremacy from the article, or anything he deems to be "anti-White" (e.g. [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72] [73] [74] [75] - note edit summaries). In total reverts the article over 50 times.

Other Jew related article edits

edit
  • Carlo Levi: Re-writes article to point out that Levi was a Jew, that his father was wealthy, insists the organizations he founded or was associated with were all "Communist" not "social reform" or "anti-fascist", notes he founded one group with a "Russian Jew", insists Levi worked as a doctor while "he himsself admitted that he had never been a practising doctor beforehand", and that rather than improving his painting skills, "with much idle time, he tried his hand at painting".[76] Subsequently edit wars insisting that Levi was "Jewish-Italian", rather than "Italian-Jewish", and that communist must be capitalized (e.g. [77]).
  • Alan Dershowitz: Edits article to add that Dershowitz "supports the Jewish agenda" and that the Anti-Defamation League is a "Jewish advocacy group", and that Dershowitz has expressed "his disregard for the human rights claims of Palestinian refugees."[78]
  • David Irving, Anti-Defamation League, and Abraham Foxman: Edit wars for weeks trying to remove links from the David Irving article which are critical of this Holocaust denier, insisting the ADL is an "extremist group" which cannot be quoted in an encyclopedia (e.g.[79]). Then insists on adding anti-ADL links from the Irving website to the page, using several sockpuppets to assist in his efforts (e.g. [80], [81]). Later sockpuppets have pseudo-"Jewish" names (e.g. [82]). While this is going on, inserts David Irving links critical of the ADL into the Anti-Defamation League article.[83], again referring to those who revert him as "jewish supremacists"[84]. Continues to add non-encyclopedic criticism links to the ADL article, including an article which lists Abraham Foxman (head of the ADL) as one of the "50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers".[85] On January 26, 2006 returns to David Irving article to describe him as a "Successful Historian"[86], to insist that Abraham Foxman's family simply "died" in the Holocaust (and were not murdered) and that Foxman is "controversial" in "the USA" [87], and to describe the ADL as "philo-semitic".[88] Returned on February 26 to make same edits.[89]
  • Philip Rabinowitz: Removes this Guinness Book of World Records record holder from Category:Jews.[90]
  • Mitch Albom: Adds a section stating that this Jewish writer had faced disciplinary action for writing a column with fabricated material in it,[91] information already in the article. Later returns to link the word "fabricated" to Lie.[92]
  • Hate Crime: Uploads a CopyVio picture of Baruch Goldstein, and adds it to the article with the caption "Baruch Goldstein, a fanatic Israeli settler from New York etc."[93] (note the use of pseudo-"Jewish" name for sockuppet, a common feature).
  • Natan Sharansky: Adds information to the article implying there is an "incompatibility" between Zionism and "the struggle for universal human rights and democracy", and that Sharansky takes a "contradictory position against Palestinian freedom and nationhood."[94] Later edits it to re-insert same POV[95], and to remove other positive information (e.g. that he was listed as number 11 on the List of TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2005 in the "Scientists and thinkers" category.)[96]
  • List of Jews: Adds names of two Jews convicted of crimes, (Mark Swartz and Alfred Taubman), into section for Jewish criminals.[97] and later Andrew Fastow and Sam Waksal.[98] Retitles the article "List of controversial Jews" "List of Jews in Crime. Later adds himself and a number of Wikipedians to the list[99], describing himself as "gets attacked by Jews, top self-hating Jew". Still later re-adds Taubman to List of controversial Jews, [100] (now at [101]) and makes this edit to the article on Fastow.[102]
  • Kahanism: Describes movement as "Jewish Supremacist" and adds a link to Supremacism.[103]
  • David Duke: Insists the term "White Supremacist" is "pejorative" (note edit at Kahanism above), that only "Jewish groups" view Duke as anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi, and on describing the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center as a "Jewish groups".[104] Later returns and removes links to Ukranian group critical of the anti-Semitic university that gave Duke his doctorate, and then insists on describing the rest of the critical groups as "Jewish".[105]
  • Rachel Corrie: Insists on January 26 2006 that Corrie was a "Peace" activist (not just an activist), that the article must actively state that the IDF killed her, and tries to double the size of the picture of the bulldozer that killed Corrie,[106] reverting in various versions of his changes 8 times in one hour.[107] [108] [109] [110] [111] [112] [113] [114] While insisting on enlarging the picture of the bulldozer to 500px, simultaneously insists on reducing a pretty picture of Haifa to 250px.[115] Returns on April 16 2006 to revert in his changes again: [116] [117] [118]
  • Holocaust denial: Edits article to "clarify" the views of Holocaust deniers.[119] [120] [121] Interestingly, while edit-warring on Rachel Corrie (above) insisted that it was important to "remove the passive tense" [122], had no problem simultaneously using the passive tense to describe the killings of various Jews (e.g. [123] [124] [125]).
  • Kevin Alfred Strom - edits page of this racist anti-Semitic and white supremacist to remove links to sources describing him as "racist", "anti-Semitic" and "neo-Nazi", on the grounds that the sources are "non-encyclopedic".[126] The sources include the The Telegraph (Britain's largest circulation broadsheet and one of its most respected newspapers), Creative Loafing Atlanta (an alternative newsweekly with a circulation of 130,000 that has existed since 1972), The Forward (a newspaper that has been publishing since 1897), the ADL, the Southern Poverty Law Center, j. (a newsweekly published since 1895), The Jewish Exponent (a newsweekly published since 1887), Tel Aviv University, the testimony at David Irving's trial, and The Prejudice Institute. Also insists on describing the ADL as "the Jewish ADL".[127]

  • Charles Lindbergh: Re-writes articles several times (using various IPs and sockpuppets), inserting apologetics in an attempt to minimize Lindbergh's Nazi ties and statements about Jews. (e.g. [135] [136]) and removing "obvious anti-Nazi POV" and insisting Lindbergh was a "patriot".[137] [138]

Vandalism

edit

Amusing

edit

On August 5, 2005, 1/2 hour after User:Jayjg edits the Talk:Nablus page, Disruptive Apartheid editor shows up at the article for the first time and edits it, (redundantly pointing out that a church is Christian[168]), and amusingly accuses Jayjg of wikistalking![169]

In late October 2006, returns as Kyosaki (talk · contribs)/Kiyosaki (talk · contribs). In the span of a month, edit-wars relentlessly on the Allegations of Israeli apartheid article, editing the article itself over 220 times, its sandbox a dozen times, and the Talk: page over 300 times (or an edit every 1.5 hours for 34 straight days), trying to prove that Jews also practice "apartheid". Also adds various claims to other articles about Judaism "practising apartheid",[170], that Jews are a "racial" group,[171], removing claims that the term "Jewish lobby" is antisemitic and adding allegations that such a lobby exists, [172] adding claims that Zionists were terrorists[173] while removing claims that Palestinians have committed terrorist acts.[174] Also starts describing various individuals (primarily Jewish) as "neo-conservatives".[175] Again becomes abusive, describing editors as ""Jewish editors that are liars", and describing edits as "Hebrew POV".[176] [177] [178] Is eventually warned by User:Jimbo Wales that he will be blocked if he continues his edit-warring and "Attacking people personally and using... very strange and borderline racist terminology".

In early January 2007 returns to Wikipedia as Siortega (talk · contribs). Again focuses on the Allegations of Israeli apartheid article, devoting 50% of his edits to the article and its Talk: page. Also starts describing various Jews and/or Jewish groups as "terrorist", [179] [180] but insists the Munich massacre of Jewish Israeli Olympics athletes was not a "terrorist" act.[181] Again starts labeling various writers (mostly of Jewish ancestry) as "neo-conservative".[182] [183] [184] Adds a lengthy section to the Neoconservatism article claiming that neoconservatism is essentially a Jewish movement.[185]

In late March 2007 returns to Wikipedia as Kritt (talk · contribs). Again focuses on the Allegations of Israeli apartheid article; for the next month almost 100% of his edits are devoted to this and related articles (over 150 edits), though he does take time out to describe Nicolas Sarkozy's mother as "Hebrew".[186] The Allegations of Israeli apartheid article is eventually locked, which leaves him at loose ends, so he doesn't edit for almost two weeks, then decides to get busy elsewhere, adding the Jewish Defense League to the Hate groups article[187], then making sure it comes at the top of the "Violent" groups section.[188] He then moves on to article on the anti-immigration website VDARE, insisting that one of his favorite targets, the Southern Poverty Law Center, publishes "screeds", and, as usual, describing it as "controversial".[189] Next up, he targets Mark Steyn again, as he did as User:Siortega; Steyn's statement that he attends a Baptist church cannot be taken at face value, one must skeptically qualify it.[190] Then it's on to Michael Medved; as he did as User:Siortega, he's focussed on describing this Jew as "neoconservative".[191] Then it's on to White nationalism, where he removes the designation "antiracist" from a description of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and removes all "See also" links to Nazi or Xenophobia articles, but add a "Compare" link to Zionism, which, of course, he places at the top of the list.[192]

He returns on June 5 2007 as Dogbart (talk · contribs). First edits are to add a link to Allegations of Israeli apartheid in the "See also" section of History of South Africa in the apartheid era, and to revert-war back in a disputed Timeline in the Allegations of Israeli apartheid article.

H returns on January 15, 2008 as Soledad22 (talk · contribs). First edits are to insist that "Jewish science" is not a Nazi notion,[193][194][195] to increase sales figures for a book by "scientific racist" Madison Grant,[196][197] to insist that Jamaican-British people not be considered British American,[198] to create an article about a book that "maintains that Scots-Irish attitudes form the bedrock of American society",[199] and to add material to articles about Jews accused of crimes.[200][201] After a month's break, he returns to make multiple edits to Ashkenazi intelligence, insisting that the theory that Ashkenazi Jews have higher intelligence is "racist" and adding OR claiming "Ashkenazi Jewish scientists" disagree with the thesis.[202] He adds "See also" Supremacism to the article, and removes claims supporting the thesis.[203] He returns in the following months to insist the theory is "racist"[204] and re-add the OR about "Ashkenazi Jewish scientists".[205]

He edits intermittently over the next two years, but always with the same traits. He insists that Adolf Hitler did not make "International Jewry" and communism "scapegoats", but rather "topics of discussion",[206] and at Adolf Hitler's vegetarianism that Richard Wagner's historical theories were not antisemitic.[207] Removes information about Jack Kerouac's antisemitic upbringing,[208] and insists that the Jews Julius and Ethel Rosenberg did not "receive international attention" but were simply "communists".[209] He removes statements that neo-Nazi and convicted Holocaust denier Léon Degrelle was a Holocaust denier,[210] and removes statements that the victims of the Holocaust died in gas chambers, instead saying they "died as musulmen".[211] He claims that Tel Aviv delayed naming a street after Heinrich Heine "because of bigotry"[212] and insists that Russian Jews in Argentina were not "falsely" accused of masterminding a communist conspiracy.[213] He de-emphasizes the antisemitism of The Jew of Malta, claiming instead that it is Islamophobic, and that the antisemitism is significant only "to Jewish intepreters".[214] Is concerned with labeling as or emphasizing that various individuals are Jews (e.g.[215][216][217][218][219]) describing the Jewish Michael Milken as a "swindler",[220] and again adding details to articles on Jews accused of crimes.[221][222] He begins white-washing neo-fascism,[223] Italian fascism,[224] and the British National Party.[225] He also makes an odd edit linking a Mishnaic rabbi to a town in the Galilee.[226]

He eventually begins to edit-war extensively at the Muhammad al-Durrah incident article, in particular trying to remove the view of some that it was a "blood libel".[227][228][229][230][231][232][233][234] He is blocked for disruptive behavior, returns in March, 2010 as RHusaini (talk · contribs), and continues his campaign on the Muhammad al-Durrah incident article, before being blocked again.

He returns in July 2010 as Unitrin (talk · contribs). Immediately returns to the topic of Adolf Hitler's vegetarianism at Association fallacy, replacing examples relating to Adolf Hitler's vegetarianism with Bernie Madoff and Jewish swindlers, and examples about neo-Nazis with examples about Zionists.[235] Starts labeling people as Jews again[236], and adding Israeli Jewish groups to the Far-right politics article.[237] Though he edits intermittently, and attempts to broaden the articles he edits, he still can't stay away from his usual topics. He returns the "Jews are swindlers" example to the Association fallacy article,[238], removes Category:Anti-Judaism from the Supersessionism article,[239], downplays the influence of Luther on Hitler.[240], and softens a description of the Nazi party's views.[241] He adds to an article about a Jewish TV host the unsourced claim that "during the apartheid-era" in South Africa her family "employed a black nanny" but "does not live in post-apartheid South Africa".[242] He also makes an odd edit linking a Mishnaic rabbi to a town in the Galilee.[243]

In January 2011 he returns to al-Durrah, insisting that a German who made two documentaries on the incident be labeled as a Jew[244][245][246][247][248] and edit-warring at Muhammad al-Durrah incident. He also labels other people as Jews,[249] and removes from a description of David Duke the fact that his is a "former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard".[250][251] In March he switches "murdered" to a passively tensed phrase for Jews killed in the Holocaust[252] (compare [253][254]).
