Foreign states putting propaganda on Wikipedia

Obviously the CIA and MI6 largely control Wikipedia from behind the scene. 

You knew that. 

M16 took control of the British press in 1939 and has never let go.

The Russian government uses social media extensively for propaganda, as we are constantly told by the people who do so even more extensively. 

Are the IDF in Gaza heroes or cowards?

Mr. Dajani, the manager of the oldest hotel in Jerusalem the New Imperial, told me on my last visit some years ago  that he looks at young Israeli men and sees that they are softer than the ones  he vividly remembers conquering the old city of Jerusalem in 1967. I love that man and wish I knew his thoughts about what is happening now but they are not hard to guess. 

I think the tens of thousands or, according to an Israeli investigator working for the UN, hundreds of thousands of killings (mostly of civilians) in Gaza show the weakness not the strength of the IDF. 

The killings are not the actions of heroes.

I understand their reluctance to enter tunnels. 

Killing people on the surface is much safer but those people are not usually Hamas.
