EveryClaim¶
The history behind today's headlines — every claim verified.
Check a Claim Common Questions Ask the Wiki
Online, the loudest claim wins regardless of truth — and what gets loud is set by reach and outrage, not evidence. EveryClaim is the counter-machine: every factual claim here carries an inline tag naming its evidence, genuinely disputed claims are labeled disputed, and one standard runs in every direction — including against the claims our own readers might prefer unexamined.

What this is¶
Our first and deepest coverage area is the most aggressively distorted contested history in circulation — Israel, the Middle East, and Jewish history, from the Ottoman Empire to this year's headlines — and the method extends to any history propaganda touches: the Sudan and Yemen crises by verified numbers, the slave trades, persecution across the Christian and Islamic worlds, and how institutions actually work (the UN, universities, campaign money, foreign aid). Before launch we audited ourselves, found roughly 390 failures, corrected every one, and published the ledger.
How verification works — the confidence tags
Every factual claim carries an inline tag naming its evidence:
- [VERIFIED via primary sources] — archival records, treaties, census data, archaeology
- [DOCUMENTED via multiple independent sources] — two or more non-coordinated sources
- [SCHOLARLY CONSENSUS] — the mainstream academic position
- [ESTIMATED] — a range synthesized from named sources
- [PARTIALLY DISPUTED] — a majority position where serious disagreement exists, both sides stated
- [ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK] — reasoning tools, marked so they are never mistaken for facts
The same standard is applied to every side of every question. Where a common claim failed verification, it was corrected or removed — see the verification methodology and the public corrections log.
What it does — and what it does not
It does: provide a verified historical timeline; document the decline of the region's religious minorities with sourced demographic data; treat the dual 1948 displacements — approximately 850,000 Jews from Arab lands and 600,000–750,000 Palestinians — as parallel humanitarian crises with equal rigor; apply propaganda-detection tools to all narratives, including those it might be expected to favor.
It does not: minimize either people's displacement or identity; claim one group's historical connection erases the other's; prescribe a political solution; or publish any claim it cannot source.
