==Some favorite techniques==
 
 
 
# Smearing/defaming critics of Israel, all criticism of Zionism is "the new antisemitism".
 
# Use of sources often so poor as to be completely discredited.
 
# Attacking credible sources and witnesses, inventing or distorting trivial incidents.
 
# Selective discussion of issues.
 
# Controlling the language, towns instead of settlements, "disputed" instead of occupied.
 
# Framing of issues, the siege of Gaza as a response to terror.
 
# Harassing media about its coverage.
 
# Challenging the portrayal of an alternative narrative, and attempting to keep the Zionist narrative as the dominant one.

'Feliks'“Wikipedia is not just what it appears to be. It is more than a lexicon. It is also a bogus encyclopedia, a small but effective opinion manipulation machine. In certain areas, the encyclopedia becomes a pseudo-encyclopedia and has for years been dominated by a small group consisting of approx. 200 people. The only thing remaining is something that looks like a reference book, but is in the hands of dogmatists and people who write in Wikipedia non-stop, but have no qualifications in the areas they write about.”'Feliks'
