  • Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.

    That is putting it very mildly.

    "There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

    He said that in *checks notes* 1971.

    Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn’t so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old “you’re anti-Israel, so you’re anti-semitic” nonsense, he decided to go, “hell yeah I am!”









  • I do not need to read your writeup to know that this information comes from sources other than Wikipedia. It doesn’t matter what it acknowledges about “the vast majority of articles,” because any one article, this one included, can be an exception.

    I unfortunately can’t read Russian so I can’t really tell what it says.

    How do you not know about Google Translate at this point? Or is that full of “Western bias” too?

    What source would you even trust?


  • Is your writeup about that specific article? Because if not, it’s irrelevant. You can judge whether the source is reliable by going there, which you are apparently unwilling to do because you’ve already decided it’s too biased.

    Also, there are Wikipedia editors from all over the world. I think you know that too.

    Seems like your real problem is they’re being big meanies to Russia which only has the best intentions for Ukrainians and would never commit any war crimes.
