Omission of Palestinian perspectives, and critical context on the Israeli occupation of Gaza needed

"Stating that the pro-Palestine protesters are supporting Hamas is inaccurate to say the least. You can be pro-Palestine and not support Hamas. You can be pro-Palestine and push for a one-state solution with Israel. Most people showing up at these protests want the Israeli occupation to end, which is the sole responsible for how Palestinians in Gaza are treated. Such language discredits the cause of the Palestinian resistance and liberation and adds to the fuel of anti-Palestinian hate." Continue reading

Thanks for contextualizing Israel‘s war on Gaza

Urgent need to reclassify pro-Israel "JNS" commentary NOT as "Wire Service" news

"You have run at least twenty articles on the Middle East crisis from this so-called “Wire Service” of yours since October 7, and not one has mentioned the Israeli killing of Palestinian civilians. This is not a news service; it is a source of pro-Israel commentary." Continue reading

 

Unbalanced reporting dehumanizes Palestinian victims of violence and hate

"On Sunday, October 15, observers reeled from the arrival of anti-Palestinian violence in North America: a six-year-old Palestinian child, Wadea Al-Fayoume, was that day stabbed 26 times in Illinois, killed for no reason other than that he was Palestinian. The very next day, you decided to publish an article representing Palestinians only as a hate threat, not, as is more factually the case, as targets of Israeli and overseas hate." Continue reading

 

Inaccurate language and unclear reporting undermines Palestinian history and suffering
