Seem to have hit a rich vein with the Wikispooks "Wikipedia's Habara" article.
Its on Google's first results page for searches with both words - ie 'Wikipedia' and 'Hasbara'. Varies between 4th and 8th last I looked. A few more such Googlings from DPF members might help keep it there.
This is not personal trumpet-blowing either. I've hardly contributed to the article myself at all. It's largely the work of a couple of disgruntled Wikipedia editors which is exactly what I've been hoping might happen on this and other taboo matters.
