"To be clear, we certainly welcome all reporting that lays bare atrocities against oppressed peoples without justification or obfuscation—much like the article’s headline does. The imprecise language and framing used within the body of the piece, however, obscures the reality of such horrors if not outright legitimizes them." Continue reading

"You describe Hamas as ‘the militant group that rules the Gaza strip”. This is rather reductive and lazy journalism.

"I am writing to express my appreciation for the article by Neil Moss. His article provided a variety of perspectives on why PM Trudeau should be speaking out more loudly against Israel’s judicial reforms.
