The Or Commission (Hebrew: ועדת אור), fully the Commission of Inquiry into the Clashes Between Security Forces and Israeli Citizens in October 2000 (ועדת החקירה הממלכתית לבירור ההתנגשויות בין כוחות הביטחון לבין אזרחים ישראלים באוקטובר 2000), was a panel of inquiry appointed by the Israeli government to investigate the events of October 2000 at the beginning of the Second Intifada in which 12 Arab citizens of Israel and one Palestinian were killed by Israeli police amid several demonstrations. One Israeli Jew was killed by a stone dropped from a bridge onto her vehicle near one such demonstration; however, it is not clear that the incident was linked. The commission released its findings on "the clashes between security forces and Israeli civilians" on September 2, 2003. The chief investigator was Theodor Or, an Israeli Supreme Court Justice.
What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
The Or Commission was the Israeli government inquiry into the October 2000 events in which Israeli police killed 12 Arab citizens of Israel and one Palestinian. Through the 2005 snapshot the opening compared it to 'a similar commission in 1983, investigating a large massacre of Palestinians, [which] led to the resignation of Ariel Sharon as defense minister.' Today the word massacre appears nowhere in the article. A reader arriving now learns only of the Or Commission's own findings, and not that Wikipedia's own opening once drew this comparison to the 1983 commission and Sharon's resignation.
