"I request that the article is updated to mention that like Morocco, Israel is similarly an occupying power over the Palestinian territories of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem." Continue reading

"The article addresses the opposition by army reservists of Israel’s judicial overhaul and the threat it poses to Israeli “democracy.” The article, however, fails to mention the Palestinian people who have never been afforded such “democracy.” This results in a one-sided report." Continue reading

"Your coverage of the unabated settlement expansion in the West Bank, land that is internationally recognized as being Palestinian land occupied by Israel in 1967, provides your readers with the necessary context in understanding the obstacles to peace that the Israeli government continues to lay down." Continue reading

"Failing to provide an authoritative Palestinian perspective or source results in a whitewash of the Israeli military’s policy and actions in Jenin. Residents of the Jenin refugee camp would disagree in describing the invasion as “targeted” as many described their homes being turned into military posts and barracks, and the theft and the destruction of their personal possessions."

"To downplay the unjust and oppressive reality that Palestinians endure on a daily basis in such a negligible way is a disservice to Palestinian human rights and a distortion of history." Continue reading

"I urge you to include more context to the second paragraph that clearly indicates that settler attacks have been ongoing this year and are not responses to one singular event." Continue reading

"This is obvious political ‘doublespeak’, which is not reflected in your reporting. It shows that Prime Minister Netanyahu’s intentions for the Palestinian Authority are not benevolent, but cynical - he sees the PA’s ongoing existence is consistent with his goal of ‘crushing’ Palestinian statehood aspirations."

"It is telling that the authors make no attempt at framing the PA as a body that prioritizes Palestinians’ freedom. Instead, they touch on the “weakness of the PA in the face of hundreds of Palestinian militants.” Such a tired and veiled characterization of Palestinian resistance to occupation is borrowed directly from the Israeli narrative and lends credence to the current perceived scope of the PA’s activities."

"Jenin has been home to refugees since the Nakba in 1948. It was formally established as a refugee camp in 1953. It has faced decades of violent attacks from Israeli military forces and has become a symbol of Palestinian resistance to Israel’s open-ended, 56-year-long military occupation. In 2022, Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot by an Israeli sniper while reporting on an Israeli military raid in Jenin. It is also home to some 40,000 Palestinians, many of them children and families trying to live an ordinary life, but unable due to the insecurities imposed by Israel’s occupation." Continue reading

"There is no symmetry between resistance fighters defending their homes in Jenin and one of the world’s most sophisticated armies laying waste to it. To describe Israel’s attack on Jenin as an effort to eliminate armed groups is absurd when one reviews the uncontroversial facts on the ground. The real objective was to instill terror in the people of Jenin, destroying their homes and vital infrastructure." Continue reading
