"Although this alternative paragraph would be accurate in its reliance on uncorroborated Israeli claims, this reliance is in itself not very credible. In addition to being transparent about relaying Israeli claims, accuracy demands that you rely on them less." Continue reading

"This article contains a glaring omission. You accurately quote the Israeli military’s chief advocate as saying that Israel’s proposed judicial reforms “may crack the aura the judicial system provides to the military.” You then inaccurately report the controversy that has resulted, wrongly telling your readers this is a two-sided debate." Continue reading

"This story fails to mention the principal feature of the Gaza crisis: Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip and its neglect of its Fourth Geneva Convention obligations. This is a settled matter of law. In 2023, we have had it restated on the highest authority. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) writes: 'The ICRC considers Gaza to remain occupied territory'." Continue reading

"It is startling and extraordinary that you have published a full article on refugee politics in Israel and yet in more than eight hundreds words failed once to mention the Palestinians. Under no standard of journalistic professionalism can this possibly be justified." Continue reading

"This article makes an irresponsible and inaccurate claim. It states: 'thousands of Palestinians have been arrested and hundreds have been killed since last year, mainly gunmen or fighters involved in clashes with Israeli troops but also including several uninvolved civilians'. This is untrue. You did not and cannot cite credible forces for such a plain falsehood." Continue reading

"It is certainly one thing to note Meir’s status as Israel’s first female Prime Minister and to call her an important person, but to promote such an adulatory, hagiographical view of her is simply dangerous. This is especially true as Israel’s occupation is increasingly being described as apartheid by international and Israeli human rights groups as well as leading figures of, and studies commissioned by, the United Nations." Continue reading

"It is extremely disappointing that your article did not include any of this context or background information. The parallels between the oppression and discrimination that Palestinians and Indigenous Canadians have experienced and continue to experience is obvious and could have helped readers understand that the advocacy needed for both groups is based on common values of justice and human rights." Continue reading

"The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty has not taken effect, as eight nations have not ratified it. I urge you to promptly resolve the factual error and make clear that the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty has not taken effect." Continue reading

"Any mention whatsoever of Israel’s “Operation Break the Wave” continues to evade AP’s reporting. I could find no evidence that AP has even once mentioned the Operation. By failing to name that Israel’s “near daily raids” are part of a deliberate, documented military strategy obscures the reality that these attacks on Palestinians are not mere reactions, but part of a planned military operation that is largely offensive by design." Continue reading

"Readers deserve to know that Smotrich is openly intent on discriminatory hostility against Palestinian citizens of Israel. You should know, if you do not, that he has publicly said to Palestinian Arab members of the Knesset that they do not live in their homes by right but 'by mistake – because Ben-Gurion didn’t finish the job and throw you out in 1948.'"   Continue reading
