the situation is terrible but #gaddafifeminismwin
Page 132 of Genocide in Libya: Shar, a Hidden Colonial History by Ali Abdullatif Ahmida "This policy alienated many of the young, who had to receive military education, but felt limited with no social clubs, libraries, cafes, or entertainment. The male students became alienated from the heavy state media culture of ideological mobilization, hero- worshiping, and the lack of specific scholarly study of the internment. The female students benefited from state policy and the opening of schools and universities for Libyan women, and thus took full advantage of it to the point that the majority of undergraduate students, especially in the humanities, were female. The female population dominated males by at least 70%."

very moral group you're trying to defend
The Kataeb party was established on November 5, 1936[11] as a Maronite paramilitary youth organization by Pierre Gemayel who modeled the party after the Nazi Party, the Spanish Falange, and Italian Fascist parties,[12][13][14] all of which he had encountered as an Olympic athlete during the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, then Nazi Germany.[15][16] The movement's uniforms originally included brown shirts, and its members used the Fascist salute.[14][17]

fantastic israeli wikipedian crashout
Dear @Jimbo Wales, unfortunately, after volunteering for about 15 years in Wikipedia I have stopped the majority of my contributions. I, as the majority of other Israelis, served in the IDF. I, as the majority of Israelis and Jews am a Zionist. Wikipedia unfortunately now decided that I genocide and attempt grabbing as much land with the least amount of Palestinians. It doesn't matter what or how my life has been, it doesn't matter what my opinions are. No matter how good I will do, how many Palestinian friends I'll have or how many Palestinian lives I've saved, Wikipedia decided I genocide (with intent). The reason I have stopped my contributions is because after 15 years Wikipedia had a net-negative effect on my life - from now on, the project I helped build, is actively defaming me and my friends for life. If Wikipedia will decide that I'm 50 years old, that's what everyone will know. The truth no longer matters and the consensus (which usually sums up to a numerical vote) is used far too often for political reasons. After fighting for years on neutrality of articles, things that are completely obvious for any other country need to be fought for in the case of Israel. Even unrelated things such as the list of inventions was completely removed with specific remarks and references of Wikipedia policies to a standard not held in articles of any other country. If Israel invented the plastic drippers, the first response is "irrigation existed since ancient China". In other countries a different taste of carbonated drink like Fanta counts as an invention. The extra scrutiny when it comes to anything is obviously in by itself a strong NPOV issue, but we in Israel are few and when it comes to a vote we will almost always lose. As for articles, I've got used to the fact that if a media outlet Wikipedia policies to a standard not held in articles of any other country. If Israel invented the plastic drippers, the first response is "irrigation existed since ancient China". In other countries a different taste of carbonated drink like Fanta counts as an invention. The extra scrutiny when it comes to anything is obviously in by itself a strong NPOV issue, but we in Israel are few and when it comes to a vote we will almost always lose. As for articles, I've got used to the fact that if a media outlet will be against this common consensus, it will be marked as unreliable, and after years of battles I couldn't stay any longer. The sentiment that was given here "to be in the high score of comments" is exactly what decides for the truth, and we are far fewer, even without the repeated cases of canvassing. As for solving the situation, the policies are the same yet the end result shows different - without some kind of drastic change, I don't think Wikipedia will be the same. As a side note, I'm used to scrolling to Wikipedia pre October 7th - whenever I enter an article, I just go straight to view it before 10.2023 and in many cases it is much more neutral and accurate. Bar Harel (talk) 01:38, 3 November 2025 (UTC) It is unfortunate that you feel this way, but, speaking as somebody with a jewish heritage myself, we do have available very reliable opinion poll statistics available which state an extremely strong support for extreme war crimes by the Israeli population, not just its government, which I find extremely depressing, especially given that I believe in "Never again means never again for anybody," and that people with a legacy of the Holocaust should know that better than anybody.

you love to see it
Today's featured Wikipedia article Tell es-Sakan Tell es-Sakan is an archaeological site about 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of Gaza City in Palestine. It was the site of two separate Early Bronze Age urban settlements. Ancient Egypt expanded its territory into southwestern Palestine in the latter half of the 4th millennium BCE and during this time Tell es-Sakan was founded as an administrative centre for the Egyptian colonies in the region. It was inhabited from about 3300 BCE to 3000 BCE. After a period of abandonment a Canaanite city was established around 2600 BCE and inhabited until about 2250 BCE, after which Tell es-Sakan was permanently abandoned. Tell es-Sakan functioned as a trading post and was positioned along what was probably a dried-up channel of the Wadi Ghazzeh – a watercourse that is dry most of the year but in the Bronze Age would have been navigable. The site covered around 8 to 9 hectares (20 to 22 acres), of which 0.14 hectares (0.35 acres) has undergone archaeological excavation. (Full article...)
