This is very true! Maybe the fact that there ARE two sides to the story,
neither
completely right or wrong, is the point ?
It is admittedly very difficult to write a completely unbiased paragraph
about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but the initial article-- [sorry, I'm
not up to snuff on semantics here with wikipedia]-- reached by an outsider
doing a casual search could be a statement that the conflict exists between
whom, where, when...etc. ...and certain factual info re treaties, etc. then
a link to the individual sides' position?

We're trying. It's very difficult, because each side insists that their
version is
unbiased, and there's little agreement even on the facts, let alone the
meanings.
But since this is an encyclopedia I would expect
to find an unbiased
account of the background of the Palestinian/Israeli
situation--"encyclopedia" suggests definition...if I want opinions I will
turn to monographs or other sources clearly identifiable as opinion.
