As part of the Israeli entitys advancing levels of fear of Hezbollah, the official Twitter account of the Israeli military posted a call on Tuesday for Wikipedia in English to edit its article on the Lebanese resistance movement to reflect its identification by 26 countries as a terrorist organization.

The diagnosis, in the Zionist case, would better be onomatophobia, which is the fear of names, in our case it is Hezbollah.

The worth-mocking step exposes how the Zionist occupation entitys fear has switched from its main battlefield with the resistance group, in military, to the educational one, where it should be the least among the supposed undefeatable armys concerns.

In this regard, some experts claim that Wikipedia is a battleground for competing viewpoints, and the Hezbollah page is no exception.

The resistance groups English Wikipedia entry, which currently describes it as a Shia Islamist political party and militant group, didnt satisfy the Israeli military Spokespersons Unit, prompting it to to tweet on Tuesday that its time for an update, calling for the organizations definition to reflect its labeling as a terrorist group.

David Gerard is a veteran Wikipedia editor based in the UK. In a conversation with The Media Line, he explained the argumentative phrasing, as well as Wikipedias treatment of controversial subjects in general, saying that the sites political position is basically very centrist about things, and always gives both sides of every issue. Because of this, he said, you end up with these understated, overly polite descriptions that people may consider quite controversial.

With controversial issues, Gerard explains, there are editors pulling in different directions and the final product has to be acceptable for all parties. Therefore, the aim is to create readable entries, but better entries could be written.

The editor also points out that Hezbollahs entry contains all the information you need.

Added to its misfortune, the Israeli military Spokespersons Unit confessed their intrusion in a statement to The Media Line, stating that our office occasionally looks at Wikipedia entries when the subject matter is relevant to the messaging we want to get across. We do this in order to better understand what information is given to the average individual on the internet and to find misinformation that should be dispelled.

Further, the Zionist Spokespersons Unit claimed that, It is our hope that our tweet will inspire some of Wikipedias editors to update Hezbollah Wikipedia entry by highlighting the fact that Hezbollah has been recognized as a terrorist organization by some of the worlds most influential nations, such as the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and Canada.
