L'article utilise un langage qui minimise la brutalité de la situation à Gaza et la responsabilité d'Israël

"Ce langage nébuleux peut porter à confusion vos lecteurs alors qu’il insinue une symétrie de pouvoir entre le Hamas et Israël et que les victimes sont autant Israéliennes que Palestiniennes ce qui n’est pas le cas." Continue reading

 

Correction needed to clarify that there are examples of both Hamas and Israeli fighters engaging in combat in civilian clothing

"Your framing suggests that Hamas sometimes uses civilian clothing in combat settings, but Israel does not.

Both the title and language throughout article misrepresents the demands of McGill Hunger Strikers

"To state that their demands are complete divestment from companies “believed to be contributing to Israel’s war against Hamas” muddles their clearly stated aims. "Israel’s war against Hamas" or "Israel Hamas War" are loaded terms. They imply that Israel’s military and ground assault is only targeting Hamas, though most essential infrastructure has been grazed, and over 32,000 Palestinians have been killed, most of whom are healthcare/aid workers, women, children, and infants."

Failure to give Islamophobia as much attention as antisemitism

"I understand that journalists choose the scope of their piece. What concerns me is that you do include Islamophobia in the scope of your article, but fail to give it near as much attention as antisemitism. I think it is important, at the very least, we hear from people who can speak about Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism." Continue reading

 

Correction needed to contextualize the situation in Gaza and add pro-Palestinian voices

"I insist that you add, at the very least, elements of context about the situation in Gaza, such as the ICJ ruling, Canada’s obligations under international law, and pro-Palestinian voices, to make your article balanced and for your readers to properly understand why this motion comes at such a pressing time."

Thanks for portraying the exhaustion felt by Palestinians and amplifying their voices

"I particularly appreciated your efforts in presenting real-life experiences and amplifying the voices of Palestinians, including children who have been traumatized by Israel’s military campaign. Your portrayal of the exhaustion and strain felt by all, including medical personnel, was spot on." Continue reading
