The UN unanimously found and declared that the IDF of the state of Israel committed genocide in Gaza and is accountable for it. This important info needs to be added in the article. Gopro786 (talk) 15:02, 16 September 2025 (UTC)
- It is just another report. The UN has not conducted a vote. Also, until you achieve EC status, you may only make specific edit requests on protected pages, but you may not participate in discussions like this. Nehushtani (talk) 06:05, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
Israel is committing a genocide

According to a UN inquiry, Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza. Why is it so hard to mention here? Can you not handle the truth? Please add it in the article. Kashpatelrules (talk) 19:25, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
- If a UN body has formally accused Israel of genocide, it can be included — but only with reliable sources and neutral wording. Wikipedia requires verifiable citations and balanced coverage, especially for serious claims. Feel free to share the source so editors can review it. EddyTheKing123 (talk) 19:36, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
- We can attribute the fact that the UN inquiry said that, assuming it has decent secondary coverage, but UN inquiries don't automagically establish uncontested source such that we can say it in the article voice. To state it as uncontested fact in the article voice we'd need broad agreement between high-quality reliable sources that themselves treat it as uncontested truth in their article voices. --Aquillion (talk) 19:57, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
