Wikipedia deletes Benjamin Emanuel entry
Wikipedia has deleted Rahm Emanuel’s father’s page. Benjamin M. Emanuel’s entry was recommended for deletion shortly after Obama named the younger Emanuel as his Chief of Staff, and it looks like it had already been deleted (or recommended for deletion) once before in January of 2007.
“Benjamin M. Emanuel” is no longer searchable in Wikipedia, but the former-page can be accessed through the original URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_M._Emanuel
The old entry is no longer even in Google cache. The Progressive Mind was forward-thinking enough to save the original entry, including the original links. Here’s what is used say:

And here’s a screenshot (from Blog-Reporter):
Jazakallah khair… very interesting…
at least they are embarrassed
Down the memory hole.
wow, born in jerusalem in 1920? that makes him arab! or at least palestinian.
unless he was a settler’s baby. they started coming in droves at that time.
yup. he was of settler stock. his last name was “Auerbach”
wow, it’s nice to see what arab activism has become.. snapshots of deleted wikipedia pages
Umm.. it’s a satire blog, most definitely not a comprehensive representation of arab activism.. and it most definitely was not intended to be one.
Wikipedia is influenced by Israeli sentiment, whether you like it, believe it or not. For instance, the entry on John P. Oneill doesn't mention that he quit after his superiors stonewalled his investigation into several terrorist cells that he had concluded had ties to Mossad. You'll find similar whitewashing of Wikipedia articles across the board. It's a form of lying by omission.
