How a handful of woke Wikipedia editors are trying to erase The Post and other outlets that don’t align with their worldview

A report by the Washington Free Beacon found that Duwaji created a post on blogging site Tumblr with the photo of PFLP terrorist Leila Khaled, with a caption echoing Khaled’s own words: “If it does good for my cause, I’ll be happy to accept death.” Duwaji also liked posts claiming that mass rapes committed by Hamas during the group’s genocidal rampage through Israel were........
