Lead reduplication
[edit]Ist lead sentence
The Khazar hypothesis of Ashkenazi ancestry, often called the Khazar myth by its critics,[1]:369[2]:VIII[3] is a largely abandoned historical hypothesis that has sometimes been abused to further antisemitic or anti-Zionist agendas.
Last lead sentence
The hypothesis has been abused at times by anti-Zionists to challenge the idea that Jews have ties to ancient Israel, and it has also played some role in antisemitic theories propounded by fringe groups of American racists, Russian nationalists and the Christian identity movement.
This violates the basic criteria of lead composition, and is a clear case of bludgeoning the point by repetition. Suggestions?Nishidani (talk) 22:30, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with Nishidani. This sentence, starting with "The hypothesis..." is irrelevant to the facts that directly concern the article, and I believe it's an attempt to prejudice the reader towards a negative view of the theory. Iwasathought (talk) 21:44, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
