Article misrepresents the status of Jerusalem

"In two sequential sentences, this article reads as follows:'Israel captured east Jerusalem in a 1967 war and later annexed it in a move not internationally recognized. [Paragraph break.] There are roughly 15,000 Christians in Jerusalem today, the majority of them Palestinians who consider themselves living under occupation'. This is inaccurate: the status of Jerusalem is not a matter of subjective Palestinian opinion."

Merci de soulever le traitement des Palestiniens

"J’ai particulièrement trouvé frappant la mention de la ségrégation dont font l’objet les Palestinien.ne.s et la manière dont vous l’avez illustrée : le président d’Université refoulé à un checkpoint dimanche et les différentes couleurs de plaques d’immatriculation pour les Israélien.ne.s et Palestinien.ne.s."

Failure to specify that Israel “occupies” Palestinian territory

"Your coverage of the Run for Palestine contains inaccurate material. You say: “Ever since Israel captured the West Bank in 1967, along with East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, violence has regularly erupted between Israelis and Palestinians who each lay claim to various parts of the disputed region.” This is not correct or credible language."

Biased AP article blames Gaza for violence

"In this light, it is wrong to place the onus of blame on Palestinians for a situation in which Gaza has been under Israeli occupation since 1967 and under an Israeli siege, or blockade, since 2007. Yet in the third paragraph of this article, you introduce the story of recent violence with reference to “two weeks of violent protests” by Palestinians!" Continue reading

 

Re: “Israel reopens the main Gaza crossing for Palestinian laborers after days of rising Tensions”

It’s not the fault of any particular outlet or the result of a conspiracy; it is a problem that requires constant assessment and improvement. What is happening in Gaza today, and the coverage therein, represents a longstanding problem that will take some honesty and courage to fix." Continue reading
