I am an administrator of Wikipedia and have been an editor for four years now. Mr. Kurtzman interviewed me, among a few others, for this article. The Wikipedia he describes is one alien to my experience, and to the others I spoke to who were interviewed by Kurtzman. In fact, WP's open format and "neutral point of view" requirements ensure that on controversial topics such as Israel, the outrageous propaganda and outright fabrications of Islamist and Arabist interests are given equal place as "valid alternative discourses". At the same time, Islamic and Arab atrocities against Jews and others are habitually downplayed and whitewashed.

The road to solution in the Arab-Israeli lies in Israel and its allies pursuing a policy of victory, not in creating "shared narratives" with those who openly advocate the genocide of the Jewish people.
