"Palestinian refugees are, by definition, refugees from somewhere. Your readers deserve to know the source and cause of Palestinian refugee questions in Lebanon: the country to the south of Lebanon is central to all Palestinian refugee developments within Lebanon". Continue reading

"It is untrue that the actions of African migrants alone led Netanyahu to call for their deportation. Netanyahu was also “led” to call for the deportation of African migrants for the simple reason that he leads a coalition government that is notoriously xenophobic." Continue reading

"In light of United Nations and expert legal opinion, this article’s language on Israel’s status in the Gaza Strip – “both Israel and Egypt maintain restrictions along their frontiers with the territory,” you write – is legally ambiguous and therefore misleading to your readers. Israel legally occupies Gaza." Continue reading

"Henry Srebrnik’s article, “American media criticize Israeli government,” was encouraging to read. As someone who served as a human rights observer in the occupied Palestinian territory in 2014, I have been disappointed in the Canadian government’s unfaltering support of the Israeli government and the coverage in Canadian media."

"Taking a single source at its word, especially when this source is the now deemed illegal occupier of the Palestinian territories, is hardly responsible journalistic practice. In the absence of verification from at least one other source, preferably Palestinian, it needs to be made clear that Israel's claim is as yet unsubstantiated." Continue reading

"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
