I have noticed a lot of (concerted?) efforts in the past few years to remove the "JDL - Gas the Arabs" pictures from a lot of articles on a lot of Wikipedia projects around the globe. I consider this extreme censorship, especially when looking at the arguments used (e.g: in one article it is removed because it cannot be proven that it was written by JDL, while on another it is removed because it is written by JDL, which is not necessarily equal to Settlers).The most reprehensible argument used is that it isn't racism, because Arabs are not a race.
I will try to inventory all of those efforts here, so that in future occurances I have a single location pointing to all (or at least most) previous efforts.
201.243.41.3 (talk·contribs) (these three IP addresses edit warring on this page on 7/25/2014 with blatant insults appear to be the same user. In fact the 4 IP addresses (98.148.57.140, 190.199.220.188, 186.91.45.156, 201.243.41.3) used for the cross-wiki vandalism spree on July 24/25, 2014 all appear to be open proxies. It stands to reason to suspect that these actions were all performed by the familiar Knowalles.)
Main reason for removal: "Not the work of JDL"

Is that kind of graffiti really done by JDL / Settlers?
Do Israeli Settlers place racist, anti-Arab/anti-Palestinian graffiti?
For those who still think that the Israeli Settlers would not engage in racist, anti-Arab/anti-Palestinian graffiti:
[1]: "The settlers set fire to a car that was parked in the entrance of the village and scribbled anti-Palestinian graffiti. "
[2]: "Settlers have sprayed graffiti, including "Death to Arabs," on the shuttered stores."
[3]: "The same day, other settlers wrote hostile words against Arabs on walls in the village of Jet, in the south of the Nablus District. The graffiti included statements such as “Death to Arabs” and “Go from our land”. "
[4]: "Confused, the settlers began to draw new racist graffiti and each time they called on the Israeli soldiers to stand at the entrance of the military base and check Palestinians in the area."
[5]: "The following day, the settlers returned to Oush Grab to mark the buildings with Jewish and racist graffiti and to hang their flags. They told the media their plans were to return in the coming week in order to prepare the site for Jewish residents." (This one also illustrates that the graffiti is part of a strategy for colonial expansion.)
[6]: "In the middle of the night on 17th June, six settlers from Kiryat Arba forced entry into three shops in the centre of Hebron, damaging the doors and contents and graffiting anti-Arab slogans on the shop walls. These shops all belong to the Jaber family. An eyewitness, Kaed Da'na descried how "armed settlers came.., forced the doors of the shops and left after two hours of vandalism"." and " In the afternoon of 24th June, tens of settlers from numerous settlements and outposts in the city engaged in marches and demonstrations in the city centre. During the demonstration they forced the residents to leave the streets and threw stones at shops and houses. They chanted and graffitied a number of offensive slogans, such as "death to Arabs". This all happened under the protection of soldiers."
This is all from a news site of the Alternative Information Center:
"The AIC is a joint Palestinian-Israeli activist organization engaged in dissemination of information, political advocacy and grassroots activism. [...] We also have a number of Films in DVD copies and the AIC publications which are aimed to critically analyze both the Palestinian and Israeli societies as well as the conflict itself. "
