Wikipedia bans eight editors, six of them anti-Israel

Wikipedia banned eight volunteer editors from making changes to articles on the Arab-Israeli conflict, following a ruling on Thursday by the online encyclopedia’s Arbitration Committee.

Six of the banned editors are from the pro-Palestinian camp.

Their online editing names are: “Selfstudier,” “Nableezy,” “Nishidani,” “Levivich,” “Iskandar323” and “Makeandtoss.”

Two other banned editors are from the pro-Israel side. Their online names are: “BilledMammal” and “AndreJustAndre.”
