The foundation that owns Wikipedia said it respects the decisions of volunteer editors after receiving a letter from Jewish groups calling on the foundation to override a move by editors to declare the Anti-Defamation League an untrustworthy source on Israel & Zionism. www.jta.org/2024/06/25/u...
Wikipedia’s operator rebuffs Jewish groups’ call to override editors on ADL trustworthiness - Jewish Telegraphic Agencywww.jta.org More than 40 Jewish groups told the Wikimedia Foundation that the decision to label the Anti-Defamation League "unreliable" makes the Jewish community less safe.

Epistemic deference in action here (@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social): Greenblatt pretty much says here that if you aren't Jewish, you don't get to decide what kinds of statements about Israel are appropriate. (And the implication is, he decides who's 'really' Jewish and who's not.)
