"Irresponsibly, the article then platforms Israel’s denial of its own actions, without providing essential context, in stating "Israel disputes the hunger fatality figures given by Gaza's Health Ministry, arguing that deaths were due to other medical causes." It is both unfair and inaccurate not to also mention that famine has been officially declared in Gaza, and there is ample evidence that people with underlying medical causes are the most susceptible to malnutrition and therefore among the first to die in a famine."

It is widely accepted as fact within the humanitarian and human rights sectors, and it is the basis of the legal case against Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the arrest warrants against Netanyahu by the International Criminal Court (ICC). PCHR’s position is hardly unique, and it could not be further from “outlandish.” Continue reading

"Are your editors aware that protests at synagogues have not targeted worship services, but instead real estate fairs for property in the occupied West Bank as well as talks by Israeli soldiers who have served in Gaza?

"Third, you mention the “famine facing civilians.” While I appreciate that this was not the focus of your report, any reference to that famine must mention that Israel openly blockaded Gaza for months (and now allows in barely a trickle of food). Without that context, the reader could easily think that the famine is due to natural causes, such as a drought." Continue reading

"I want to amplify her call to let the international press into Gaza. It’s no secret why Israel wants to keep them out, as they have done for decades during their deadly attacks on Gaza - to try and eliminate documentation of their atrocities." Continue reading

"As you know, Israel has banned international media from entering Gaza, leaving Palestinian journalists as the only source of news. We are dependent on them to document and report what is happening on a daily basis." Continue reading

"For the above reasons, this op-ed violates basic journalistic standards, even the most limited ones that apply to opinion articles. The author and its publisher should apologize and correct this work of fiction that perpetuates harmful lies about Palestinians and their advocates." Continue reading
