From a Lebanese exile: context needs to be added in recent article

"Long before October 7, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah had consistently emphasized the group’s commitment to resisting Israel’s illegal occupation and to standing against Israel’s abhorrent expansionist project.

Article parrots the Israeli occupation forces’ talking points with no skepticism

"The Palestinians have proven without a doubt by enduring 600 days of bombing, a campaign of mass starvation, and 75 years of occupation that they love life and have dreams like you and me.

One-sided segment of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation needs on-air correction

"Although the segment briefly acknowledged the Palestinian death toll and included a short quote from a Palestinian woman, it overwhelmingly amplified Israeli military denials through a video statement by an IDF general. The purpose of this video is clearly to cast doubt on Palestinian and independent sources and reinforcing the narrative of the occupying power without scrutiny." Continue reading
