We understand that this does not constitute a breach of the core pillars of responsible journalism; however, in the interest of accuracy, and in light of the international legal consensus regarding Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, we kindly ask that you amend the article by replacing “critics” with language that reflects the weight of international legal and human rights consensus, including UN experts.  Continue reading

In sum, the segment fails to meet basic journalistic standards of accuracy, fairness, and balance. It presents serious and unverified allegations as fact, blurs the line between opinion and reporting, and promotes narratives that risk stigmatizing Palestinian advocacy and Muslim communities.

"Both the journalists and the outlet deserve thanks for this comprehensive and informative news piece." Continue reading

Good journalism should strive to present a balanced and contextualized picture of armed groups. This includes not only describing their military actions, but also situating them within their historical context and specifying how they define themselves.

By not doing this you simply provide a platform for B’nai Brith rather than doing the work of journalism." Continue reading

The Israeli forces have long used the pretext that journalists are affiliated with armed groups to justify their killing. We have seen these unfounded allegations repeated time and time again. In 2025, Israeli officials falsely alleged that martyred journalist Anas al-Sharif was affiliated with Hamas, a claim which was then rejected by Al Jazeera affirming he had no such affiliation.  Continue reading

"My primary concern is the article’s exclusion of perspectives that are essential for readers to properly assess the report’s claims. Notably absent is any reference to the response from Independent Jewish Voices (IJV), whose critique of the audit has been reporting in the Canadian Press and the Toronto Star." Continue reading

I am urging the Globe and Mail to take heed of the CBC Ombud's review and adopt a similar position and publish a correction. Otherwise, the Globe and Mail is perpetuating inaccurate information that is critically important for readers considering relevant international legal considerations regarding the responsibilities of an occupying power and the rights of occupied people.
