"The segment mentions in depth the current events regarding the judicial reform bill and its ramifications. What I feel is inaccurate is the mention and classification of Israel as a democracy without taking into account the millions of Palestinians who are living in what is now widely recognized as an apartheid system; Israel’s democracy only applies to Israeli citizens." Continue reading

"Your description of a “clash” obscures the Israeli military’s role in provoking the confrontation between stone throwers and heavily armed soldiers. The Israeli military uses sophisticated weapons and equipment whereas the Palestinians, as mentioned in your own coverage, were throwing stones. Your coverage obscures and downplays the asymmetrical nature of the violence." Continue reading

"Including coverage on the Palestine Festival was important as it also informed those who are not of Palestinian heritage of the event and gives them an opportunity to pass by and learn more about Palestinian culture." Continue reading

"To claim that the West Bank is “disputed” is misleading and inaccurate and lends credence to the idea that Israel has a legal claim to it which is the perspective of the Israeli government." Continue reading

"Your article fails to articulate the actual difficulties regularly faced by Palestinian Americans in entering Israel or occupied Palestine. There are no Palestinian voices and the article suffers as a result." Continue reading

"It was refreshing to read an article that cited diverse Palestinian sources, even including the Al-Quds Brigades. We rarely encounter the perspectives of Palestinians living under Israel’s military occupation in Canadian media." Continue reading

"Failing to correctly identify Jenin as a refugee camp and characterizing it as a “militant stronghold” serves to mislead readers about life in the camp, downplays the devastation faced by civilians, and serves to legitimize the Israeli military attack which has faced significant international condemnation." Continue reading

"Your questions provided Dr. Davidovitch with an opportunity to outline the concerns of Israeli medical doctors with the proposed judicial reform of Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government. It was quite clear that he sees these reforms as ‘a danger to democracy’ and possibly blocking the ability of Israeli citizens and marginalized groups such as the LBGTQ community to have equitable access to services based on the political beliefs of the politicians and/or the religious beliefs of doctors." Continue reading

"Among the errors in Mr. Miller’s article is his failure to specify that Israel’s attack on Jenin earlier this month specifically targeted the city’s refugee camp. To only characterize Jenin as a “militant stronghold” legitimizes, albeit implicitly, the Israeli military’s framing of its attack as an “operation,” while downplaying its brutality and the devastation wrought on Palestinians living in the camp." Continue reading

"Your reporting on the matter has a very narrow scope since there is no mention of the effect that these reforms will have on the lives of millions of Palestinians vis-à-vis the unchecked expansion of illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land, in which the courts play a central role. This has been the case in more or less all of the recent segments I’ve heard aired by CBC about protests in Israel." Continue reading
