Being right isn't enough

Violations of Wikipedia's behavioral expectations are not excused on the grounds that the editor who violated those expectations has the correct position on an underlying substantive dispute or the interpretation of policies and guidelines within those disputes. Those expectations apply universally to all editors, and violations of those expectations are harmful to the functioning of the project, irrespective of the merits of an underlying substantive dispute.

(Part of the 2025 unanimous decision of the Arbitration Committee in WP:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5#Being right isn't enough)
