"Israeli forces deliberately destroyed water and electricity networks, homes, residential buildings, hospitals and even mosques. Palestinian residents of the refugee camp describe their homes being turned into military posts and barracks, and the theft and the destruction of their personal possessions. The severity of the destruction and brutality caused by the Israeli raid is completely absent from your radio segment."

"Your use of the term “apartheid” is extremely important and significant. CJPME and others have asked for this terminology to be used as context in articles about Palestine for quite some time. We are happy to see that it has been used in this article. Your description of the arguments for why Israel’s occupation amounts to apartheid are clear. Providing this information as context for readers is useful and pertinent." Continue reading

"To define Hamas as “Islamist rulers” misrepresents their aims and dedication in liberating Palestine and resisting Israel’s military occupation. More importantly, defining Hamas as “rulers” obscures the reality that the Gaza Strip is “occupied” and remains under Israeli “effective control” through a land, sea, and air blockade since June 2007."

"An Israeli soldier who shoots a simple-minded autistic Palestinian cowering next to a garbage bin, is cleared of all culpability.  The article hits all the right points: Israel’s investigations of its soldiers almost never lead to convictions, witnesses are often not even consulted; surveillance cameras in the area supposedly weren’t working."

"Ali Sawafta’s reliance on the official Israeli military narrative results in a complete whitewash of Israel’s brutal military invasion and siege of the Jenin refugee camp. Describing Israel’s assault as an “operation” misrepresents the systematic and large-scale damage caused by Israeli forces, evidenced in the destruction of roads, homes, electricity and water networks, hospitals and even mosques."

"Palestinian perspectives, especially those that challenge established power structures and narratives, such as that of the Israeli military and government are often silenced or deliberately excluded from Canadian media. It is important for Canadian audiences to hear directly from Palestinians who live under an Israeli military occupation and are subjected to Israeli acts of violence and aggression as evidenced by the brutal raid on the Jenin refugee camp." Continue reading

"This completely disregards the power imbalance between Israel and Palestine and the historical context that led to these attacks." Continue reading

"These statements promote the narrative that Israel is defending itself. The reality is the opposite, Israel chose to instigate these attacks against Palestinians in Jenin and is facing widespread international condemnation as a result." Continue reading

"After the Gaza clip I expected to see footage of Jenin showing why Gazans were sympathising with its residents, but instead you featured an Israeli army official." Continue reading

"Your segment calls the attack a “two-day operation”. The word “operation” gives the impression of being less serious and glosses over the infrastructure damage and civilian injuries and death. It once again ignores the crucial context that the Israeli military is an illegally occupying force that Palestinians are victims of." Continue reading
