"By writing “‘directly involved’ in the conflict between Hamas and Israel,” you not only undermine how these companies fund Israel’s genocide in Gaza, but you put on equal footing that Israel and Hamas are benefiting from these companies when that is not true. Israel is the only one that has been supplied by these companies." Continue reading

"You do not challenge Israeli claims that “the strike was a mistake,” which is not only a failure to balance the record but deeply disappointing as Israel knew exactly what it was doing and that its action received an outpour of condemnations from Western countries, including our own Prime Minister."

"While violence in the West Bank has escalated since October 7th, it is not a new, unprecedented, reality but rather a longstanding issue for Palestinians." Continue reading

"I recall complaining to numerous Canadian media outlets that Israel’s repeated 2023 attacks on the Jenin refugee camp were not described as “offensive.” But here, in a single article, Iran’s response to Israel’s assassinations in Syria is described as an “offensive” four different times.

"The use of the word 'operation' to describe Israel’s military siege on Al-Shifa hospital is particularly problematic. Please precede the word 'operation' with 'military,” or opt for the most specific description: 'military siege'." Continue reading

"Considering this is the first instance of you vaguely alluding to 'violence' in the article, it should be precise and descriptive. Instead, I implore you to consider using 'Israel’s military assault and blockade on Gaza' as a substitute for the 'ongoing wave of violence in Gaza'." Continue reading

"Personally, even in Kelowna, I have watched my Muslim friends struggling through both Ramadan and now Eid al-Fitr, given the horrifying reality of life for Palestinians living in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza." Continue reading

"You do not mention the broader context of the conflation between antisemitism and anti-Zionism that Dahab was subjected to and, thus, the crackdown on free speech, which she was a victim of. Please be more explicit on the issue of free speech by adding a section from this open letter to your article. Free speech is a core aspect of this controversy." Continue reading
