But I'm now talking about...

whether such a statement is neutral in the context of an encyclopedia.

And no, it clearly is not neutral because there are people with skin in the game, a lot of them actually, who disagree with it.

Something like the bombardment of Gaza is represented by Palestinians and their many allies as a genocide.

And as part of a war campaign by Israelis.

I see.

Something like that.

Sure.

Well, and if you wanted to say that the...

the topic properly should be the very notion that there was a genocide in Gaza, then what you would say is the Gaza genocide accusation or something like that.

In other words, there would be some sort of distancing device used in the very title and, of course, in the first sentence.

I see.

Okay.

So the idea then is that an article that's actually unbiased, that is neutral, doesn't take a stand.

It allows the reader to make up his or her own mind.

That's the general idea.

The great advantage, the great virtue of neutrality is that it respects...

you know, the individual person's autonomy.

You can think what you like, decide what you like.

There's a lot of people in the world that don't like that, though.
