Wikipedia Is Coming To Jerusalem #BDSFail

Wikipedia, the “user generated” encyclopaedia has a lot of troubling content when it comes to Israel. There’s also been some good stuff and Jimmy Wale, the founder, has appeared at the President’s Conference in Israel before and taken a stand against anti-Israel hate.

Wikipedia exists because of the unique software that was created for it: a program called “Mediawiki” which anyone is free to download and use for their own project. It’s a massive open source project where, just like the content in Wikipedia, anyone with programming skills can join in and make the code better.

Currently on Wikipedia this advertising banner is being shown:

Which is a great place to bring an international team of software developers to join the many who live and work here already.
