Thanks for balanced coverage regarding escalation of violence in Gaza

"Such balance as in your approach is rare these days when few newscasters rely upon the ethical requirements of their journalistic profession. The lives of civilians on either side of the conflict must be deemed important." Continue reading

 

Failure to add context regarding Israel’s military occupation of Palestinian territories

"I felt your article would have benefitted from greater context around Israel’s brutal military occupation of the Palestinian territories.  For decades, Palestinians and their allies have called for an end to Israel’s brutal military occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza, begun in 1967."

Re:“Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur War: 50 years later”

"Golda Meir’s comments were and remain inflammatory, as they contribute to the effort to erase Palestinians and their identity. Rather than try to explain away her remarks or whitewash them, Mr. Levine should face them plainly and make clear their unacceptability." Continue reading

 

Article inaccurately describes Hamas

Misleading language used to describe Hamas

"Use of that phrase, Islamic Resistance Movement, is a matter of basic journalistic balance.
