Multiple users on a talk page referred to Jews “desecrating” the Temple Mount. Obviously claiming that Jews are desecrating the site is highly wrong and unacceptable. After I pointed out that this would be a bigoted statement, M.Bitton claimed that was an opinion. Here are the diffs, should this be brought to AN/I? Thank you

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1180555757 - “… Al-Aqsa, FYI, is also a Palestinian nationalist symbol to the Palestinian people as much as it a religious one, though yes, just two days prior, it was stormed once again by Israeli settlers - hence the desecration angle…”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1180560847 - “What Iskander wrote is obviously in reference to a previous comment by Francois Robere (which Hamas (falsely) claimed was being desecrated by Israel). The falsely (added to "claimed") on the other hand is clearly Robere's opinion.” Drsmoo (talk) 14:13, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

After I pointed out that saying Jews desecrated the site was wrong and would be bigoted, M.Bitton stated the following:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1180562435 - “That's just another opinion that we can add to the list.”

As an aside, it is also problematic to refer to Jews as “Israeli settlers”, when there is no indication they were settlers.

Please do not use the admin help template to complain about the conduct of another user. There are noticeboards for that. I am not advising you to file a report at ANI, but this is not the right way to go about it.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:28, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I was not meaning to make a claim, just to see if I was overreacting, but I understand Drsmoo (talk) 16:02, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
