Not exactly sure what you're arguing about the six-day war, but if you mean that it should be an unjustified invasion instead of "pre-emptive"... My first impression of "pre-emptive" is unjustified and at best marginally better than an invasion, and the UN seems to agree in Article 2 (4) of the UN charter. That "entirely different page" is also summarized in the six-day war–page's "Controversies" section, but I assume you're talking about the lede. "On 5 June 1967, as the UNEF was in the process of leaving the zone, Israel launched a series of preemptive airstrikes against Egyptian airfields and other facilities, launching its war effort.[28] Egyptian forces were caught by surprise, and nearly all of Egypt's military aerial assets were destroyed, giving Israel air supremacy" does not give me an impression that Egypt planned to invade.
Even if that were true, "there is consensus that the labelling of organisations and individuals by the ADL (particularly as antisemitic) should be attributed." That converts it into an opinion. Nowhere have you demonstrated that the ADL has a track record of falsifying facts, not opinions such as labeling people.
Pre-emptive means that an imminent threat is coming and they struck it first. Aka that "israel had the right to defend itself" before even being attacked. Which was a straight up lie.
If you're not informed about the ADL here's a decent article on it. The more you read up on the ADL the worse it gets.
Again, Wikipedia's reliable source listings are only concerned about the quality of the source's factual reporting. Having a horrible bias in judgement does not preclude factual reporting.
And many people think that's wrong. Just saying that that's the reason Israel and most publications claim Israel did that is not claiming that it was justified.
Calling anti Palestine protests pro Hamas or anti Semitism is not factual.
Having a "antisemitic incident counter" which increases every time someone says "free Palestine" is not factual.
Again, labels, especially of antisemitism, are considered opinions and attributed.
The ADL is used as a source for "anti Semitism statistics" which are per definition rigged. An organisation that claims to be anti racism and prejudice which raison d'etre is to smear anyone including Jews which are against israel is not just "opinions". The ADL is a piece of filth that enables Genocide by using anti-Semitism as a shield for israel.
The ADL defies its entire point of existence. Classifying pro palestine protests as anti Semitic and hate speech is per definition a lie.
The ADL is used as a source for hate groups' backgrounds and way more than labeling their antisemitism, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity_(religion).
Which they also have no authority for becuase one of their other main goals is spread anti-Arab propganda.
And one of their source articles where it becomes rather apparent that the ADL heavily pushes for islamophobic legislation
I won't reply further if you can't separate bias from objective facts, especially those that are tangential to the bias, such as the history and key persons of a white supremacist group that doesn't involve Arabs.
Pretend Arabs don't exist as a minority and falsifying antisemitism claims isn't real!
Just seperate the lies from the truth, ignore the lies and then they don't lie anymore!
You have been linked plenty of evidence. There's far more out there and you're welcome to go look it up for yourself.
