If a page is vandalized, follow regular procedure (see WP:VANDAL, WP:AIV). Please be vigilant to keep Israel fairly represented. There is a large anti-Israel sentiment in the world. Do not be biased towards Israel, simply state facts. However, protect pages against other biases.
Advice from GHcool in this regard
I find that Wikipedians are a largely moderate bunch trying to find and publicize truth. However, there are some bad apples in every bunch who are trying to disseminate disinformation about Israel on talk pages and within articles. Rather than stand idlely by or commit the same straw man or ad hominemlogical fallacies committed by the people who are abusing this website, I prefer systematically debunking disinformation inspired by Alan M. Dershowitz's book, The Case for Israel.
One way that fair-minded Wikipedians could help is by not getting emotionally involved in an argument with an anti-Semitic or anti-truth Wikipedian. Remember that most of these people are just ignorant beyond reason and that you must not stoop to their level. As calmly as you can, disect their accusations without resorting to their straw man and ad hominem tactics. Remember that the truth is its own defense. Lastly, remember that not all criticisms of Israeli policy are anti-Semetic or necessarily wrong. Have enough courage to treat a true claim with respect, even if you do not agree with the claimer's conclusion. And keep informed on Israel and read about her history. --GHcool04:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
