"The number of rockets fired from Gaza is qualified, described as being in thousands; whereas Israel’s attacks are given no such qualification, merely described as an ambiguous number of air strikes. This is a grotesque omission in Israel’s favor, especially given that the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that 3,209 Palestinians have been confirmed killed by Israeli air strikes in Gaza since 2008 — 2,198 of those killed were civilians."

"Of course, the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp is precisely a refugee camp, and effort should have been undertaken in citing this example to identify and report this family’s point of origin, most likely in the Galilee." Continue reading

"The result is that your readers are led to think that the onus of blame is on the Palestinians of Ein el-Hilweh – particularly when you include phrases emphasizing, and I quote, how the camp (rather than those who made it necessary) 'is notorious for its lawlessness'. Yet it is precisely the refusal of Israel to abide by Resolution 194 of the United Nations General Assembly that has produced this intractable crisis."

"Your headline clearly captures the reality for both Palestinians and Israeli citizens but especially for Palestinians who seek not only peace but also justice. We appreciated that you named both the nationalist government in Israel and the leadership of the Palestinian Authority as factors contributing to the bleak outlook." Continue reading

"We want to thank you for providing readers with a nuanced overview of the criticism of Israel’s judicial overhauls. This has been all too rare in the coverage that has appeared in Canadian media to date." Continue reading
