Thanks for providing good coverage on the Montreal Palestine Festival
"Including coverage on the Palestine Festival was important as it also informed those who are not of Palestinian heritage of the event and gives them an opportunity to pass by and learn more about Palestinian culture."

False assertion that the West Bank is "disputed" rather than occupied by Israel since 1967
"To claim that the West Bank is “disputed” is misleading and inaccurate and lends credence to the idea that Israel has a legal claim to it which is the perspective of the Israeli government."

Failure to mention the difficulties regularly faced by Palestinian-Americans entering Israel
"Your article fails to articulate the actual difficulties regularly faced by Palestinian Americans in entering Israel or occupied Palestine. There are no Palestinian voices and the article suffers as a result."

Thanks for including Palestinian perspectives regarding Israel’s military occupation of the West Bank
"It was refreshing to read an article that cited diverse Palestinian sources, even including the Al-Quds Brigades. We rarely encounter the perspectives of Palestinians living under Israel’s military occupation in Canadian media."

Article fails to specify that Israel attacked Jenin refugee camp
"Failing to correctly identify Jenin as a refugee camp and characterizing it as a “militant stronghold” serves to mislead readers about life in the camp, downplays the devastation faced by civilians, and serves to legitimize the Israeli military attack which has faced significant international condemnation."

Thanks for highlighting the impacts of Israel's judicial reforms on the healthcare of Palestinians
"Your questions provided Dr. Davidovitch with an opportunity to outline the concerns of Israeli medical doctors with the proposed judicial reform of Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government.

Failure to mention how Israel's judicial reforms will impact Palestinian citizens
"Your reporting on the matter has a very narrow scope since there is no mention of the effect that these reforms will have on the lives of millions of Palestinians vis-à-vis the unchecked expansion of illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land, in which the courts play a central role. This has been the case in more or less all of the recent segments I’ve heard aired by CBC about protests in Israel."

Failure to include essential information regarding Israel's settlement expansion
"You fail to explain to the reader that the settlements violate international laws and conventions and constitute a war crime. The Foundation for Middle East Peace weekly Settlement and Annexation report indicates that already in the first 6 months of 2023 settlement expansion has reached a record high."

False claim that the Qumran Caves are located in Israel
"Your article states that the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in the Qumran Caves “in what is today Israel and Palestine”. This is inaccurate, as the Qumran Caves are in the Occupied Palestinian Territories."
