"The report should have identified the statement as not being based in fact, and provided that additional context regarding the almost universally-recognized legal status of East Jerusalem. I would ask that you provide an on-air clarification and take the foregoing into account in your future reporting." Continue reading

"Teich then asks, “who, exactly, is being recognized? And to what end?” Palestinians are the Indigenous people of Palestine, and their right to self-determination is enshrined in international law. To question “who” is being recognized is to adopt the rhetoric of the colonizers’ intent on erasing an entire people." Continue reading

"This claim is factually false. Bob Vylan is an anti-racist and anti-fascist group; they have never called for violence against Jewish people. To misrepresent their critique of state violence as antisemitism is defamatory and irresponsible." Continue reading
