Concern for biased articles as a basis for new edits

As this topic has just become media popular, thanks to an article posted on social media, its worth touching on the matter of biased articles used as a pretext to insert biased text into this article.

The article in question is found at https://www.ynetnews.com/article/b164zldap . ynetnews is an Israeli media outlet that claims to have no overt political agenda. However Im concerned that the article uses inflammatory rhetoric, and has clear pro-Israel bias that I feel makes it unfit for sourcing a completely new section that attempts to establish a Jewish connection to the place after widespread article proliferation, which could be used in an attempt to establish authenticity of such claims in a feedback loop.

In the new section titled "Pre-British Mandate era", there is novel rhetoric referencing Jewish periods and introducing new information sourced solely from the article in question, where the rest of the article references Roman periods and ruins.

I think that an un-biased corroborating source should be found if this passage is to remain in this article. Vrrtigo (talk) 20:10, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
