Talk:Gaza genocide/FAQ
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Q1: Why does this article state that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, even though this is heavily contested and neither the ICJ nor the ICC have issued a final judgment?
A1: A September 2025 request for comment (RfC), a large-scale decision-making process, decided to state, in Wikipedia's own voice, that it is a genocide. Participants cited Wikipedia's policies on false balance and using high-quality sources, both part of the neutrality policy, as well as precedents from other articles, such as the Armenian genocide. The current lead is the result of later discussion and editing that determined the specific wording.
