"Just as Netanyahu can as little be trusted as Musk to speak credibly against antisemitism or much anything else, your readers deserve to know that Netanyahu is a sitting prime minister whose finance minister is a self-described “fascist” and whose minister of national security has been compared by pro-Israel stalwarts to the leadership of the Ku Klux Klan. To report on racism without credible anti-racist sources is irresponsible."

"We applaud Rosie Scammell’s efforts on this story. It is especially important that Scammell took the time to contact the various authorities of the parties involved and share the findings. It is a balanced, fair, and full article." Continue reading

"The number of rockets fired from Gaza is qualified, described as being in thousands; whereas Israel’s attacks are given no such qualification, merely described as an ambiguous number of air strikes. This is a grotesque omission in Israel’s favor, especially given that the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that 3,209 Palestinians have been confirmed killed by Israeli air strikes in Gaza since 2008 — 2,198 of those killed were civilians."

You write that after the mob assault on Hawara earlier this year, “Smotrich said the town should be ‘erased’”; he added, which you do not mention, that it was his intention to inflict such cruelty with state powers: “the state should do it,” he said."

"To cover such statements without making space for a Palestinian perspective, however, can contribute to this sidelining. Therefore, I insist that you add a Palestinian perspective to your article." Continue reading

"We appreciate professor Srebrnik’s insight, therefore, and hope we can all agree that the world now needs to do better than resurrect a “fiction” that all thinking people see as a fig leaf for the regional normalization of unjust Israeli policies." Continue reading

"The result is that your readers are led to think that the onus of blame is on the Palestinians of Ein el-Hilweh – particularly when you include phrases emphasizing, and I quote, how the camp (rather than those who made it necessary) 'is notorious for its lawlessness'. Yet it is precisely the refusal of Israel to abide by Resolution 194 of the United Nations General Assembly that has produced this intractable crisis." Continue reading

"Your headline clearly captures the reality for both Palestinians and Israeli citizens but especially for Palestinians who seek not only peace but also justice. We appreciated that you named both the nationalist government in Israel and the leadership of the Palestinian Authority as factors contributing to the bleak outlook." Continue reading
