Failure to clarify that Israeli settlements are illegal in "Area C" and all of the Occupied Palestinian Territories
"The article does not clarify that it is illegal according to international law for Israelis to settle anywhere in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including but not limited to Area C. The repetitive focus on Area C further obscures this fact."

Thanks for publishing piece questioning Canada's support for Israel
"Your article sheds light on the incongruence in Canada’s position when it comes to international law, strongly supporting Ukraine for example, while completely neglecting its principles when it comes to Israel’s egregious treatment of the Palestinians."

Interview of Palestinian woman is inexplicably unpublished!
"Given that, to our knowledge, the segment did not contain any “egregious error or violation” such as defamatory material or legal restrictions, there is no basis on which the segment should have been removed. The act of unpublishing not only removes content from the public and historical record but fails to uphold a standard of transparency and accountability."

Article headline inaccurately credits Irwin Cotler for freeing Nelson Mandela
"In some sense, you can say, all who opposed apartheid helped free Mandela, as with a flap of a butterfly’s wings. Nevertheless, people are increasingly sensitive to white saviour tropes, and unless more substantive details of Cotler’s help for freeing Mandela can be found, a different headline for this article is required."

Article undermines Palestinian grievances and fails to mention their oppression
"While Ms. Bovy’s column raises some genuine concerns regarding Israeli society’s current “theocratic” leanings and what that means for women, she would do well to remember that not a single government in the country’s 75-year history has been anything other than belligerent when it comes to the violation of Palestinian human rights."

Biased article uses misleading language to define Israel's violence in the occupied West Bank
"We insist that Palestinian public opinion about their oppressors – notwithstanding Israeli vetoes on PA elections – be covered in your work. Palestinian support for resistance in these circumstances is a fact that responsible journalism must cover."
