RE: "Who can stop Benjamin Netanyahu"

"When it comes to Israel, it's important to remember that far-right politics permeates the structure of Israeli society. Netanyahu represents Israeli society. Recent polls have shown that most rightists and religious Zionists prioritize "destroying Hamas" over the return of the hostages." Continue reading

 

Correction needed to specify that Israel's actions are 'military' invasions

"The use of the word 'operation' to describe Israel’s military siege on Al-Shifa hospital is particularly problematic. Please precede the word 'operation' with 'military,” or opt for the most specific description: 'military siege'." Continue reading

 

Change needed to clarify that Israel's military assault on Gaza isn't a "wave of violence"

"Considering this is the first instance of you vaguely alluding to 'violence' in the article, it should be precise and descriptive. Instead, I implore you to consider using 'Israel’s military assault and blockade on Gaza' as a substitute for the 'ongoing wave of violence in Gaza'." Continue reading

 

Thanks for providing a factual and humane account of the genocide in Gaza & Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank

"Personally, even in Kelowna, I have watched my Muslim friends struggling through both Ramadan and now Eid al-Fitr, given the horrifying reality of life for Palestinians living in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza." Continue reading

 

Correction needed to offer a more complete picture about the consequences professionals face for voicing their pro-palestine stance

"You do not mention the broader context of the conflation between antisemitism and anti-Zionism that Dahab was subjected to and, thus, the crackdown on free speech, which she was a victim of. Please be more explicit on the issue of free speech by adding a section from this open letter to your article. Free speech is a core aspect of this controversy." Continue reading

Article fails to reference & add context about the genocide unfolding in Gaza

"Writing “the war between Israel and Hamas” and “since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct.7” is not only an insufficient piece of context, but it’s also not a fair and accurate way to describe the genocide in Gaza." Continue reading

 

News segment about pro-Palestine protests fails to give voice to pro-Palestine protesters!

"To try to correct this bias, I ask that you allow a right of reply to organizers of pro-Palestine protests in Toronto, such as Palestinian Youth Movement Toronto (PYM) and Jews Say No to Genocide, who are the organizers behind the March 30 pro-Palestine protest.

Additional context needed regarding Israel’s deliberate role in blocking aid from entering Gaza

"Israel’s actions have been detailed in a recent report by Refugees International. Without this context, your readers will likely have a false sense of the likely impact of these new aid routes. I insist that you add context about Israel’s deliberate obstruction of aid entering Gaza."

Balanced reporting on the famine in Gaza must include sources other than COGAT

"To include COGAT’s response but omit the original IPC report is unfair. Readers are left without reference to the essential document that is relevant to this discussion. To meet CBC’s fundamental principle of balance, reference to the report and a short description of its findings must be included in your article."
