"Your segment fails to clarify that the West Bank is “occupied.” It has become a near-universal journalistic standard that the West Bank be qualified as “occupied” in reporting, as its exclusion obscures important power dynamics at play." Continue reading

"However, it should be mentioned that the article’s emphasis on how uncommon it is for Israeli soldiers to be prosecuted obscures the outrage that 10 days of imprisonment is at all an adequate punishment. Human rights groups are understandably concerned by such light sentencing." Continue reading

"To cover such news without making space for this vote’s significance in Palestinians’ eyes, apart from the Palestinian Authority (PA), can contribute to sidelining. This is especially true in light of the PA’s declining popularity." Continue reading

"Thank you too for including the story about Nabulsi seeing the young children in front of their destroyed house. Even for those who have not seen the film, I believe this does much to introduce readers to the lived reality for a people “whose voices have often been excluded and misrepresented” and perhaps lead them to question why mainstream media continue to do so."

"It is edifying to pass through Israeli military checkpoints alongside Palestinians, to witness Israeli settlements with manicured green grass beside impoverished Palestinian villages with crumbling infrastructure, and to see the realities of ordinary life on the other side of the wall."

"Skewed language that piles up on Iran (whose officials are called “hard-line,” while United States officials are not) or reproduces false patterns of blame (“a series of attacks and ship seizures attributed to Iran have raised tensions,” with no reference to Israeli or Western affronts) erodes your credibility."

"Failing to add a Palestinian perspective to this issue leads to a highly incomplete picture of the judicial overhaul’s implications. In fact, Palestinians under Israeli control are largely excluded from its democracy." Continue reading

"Just as Netanyahu can as little be trusted as Musk to speak credibly against antisemitism or much anything else, your readers deserve to know that Netanyahu is a sitting prime minister whose finance minister is a self-described “fascist” and whose minister of national security has been compared by pro-Israel stalwarts to the leadership of the Ku Klux Klan. To report on racism without credible anti-racist sources is irresponsible." Continue reading

"We applaud Rosie Scammell’s efforts on this story. It is especially important that Scammell took the time to contact the various authorities of the parties involved and share the findings. It is a balanced, fair, and full article." Continue reading

"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."
