Under "Recent News," the author stated, "Palestinian militants responded quickly to [Iranian President] Ahmadinejad's remarks by launching an attack against civilians in Hadera."
This is neither a neutral statement nor a factual statement. It ascribes motivation to persons without using primary or reliable sources -- in fact, without using any sources at all -- and even without some basic fact-checking.
According to the AP and numerous other news organizations, Islamic Jihad, who claimed responsibilty for the attack, did not mention Ahmadinejad's remarks at all in their statements about their motivation for the suicide bombing of Hadera. In addition, Ahmadinejad made his remarks on 10/26/05. The suicide bombing in Hadera occurred on 10/26/05. If, according to military sources [1], three days are not enough time to prepare and coordinate a suicide bombing of this magnitude, one day certainly is not.
The Wikipedia community has built its reputation on the factual integrity of its work and in being as bias-free as possible. Checking facts is therefore a critical piece of writing or editing any article.
