News segment fails to mention Golda Meir‘s racist and discriminatory rhetoric towards Palestinians
"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."

Article uses misleading language regarding Indigenous justice advocacy
"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."

False claim that the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty has been ratified
"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."

One-sided coverage consistently misrepresents planned Israeli attacks on Palestinians
"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."

Article fails to refer to Minister Smotrich‘s racist and discriminatory rhetoric towards Palestinians
"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.'"

Failure to mention Israel‘s violation of international law regarding airstrike on Aleppo airport
"Israel fails to remotely approach such a threshold, making its strikes on Aleppo’s airport nothing other than acts of aggression. The article’s failure to properly contextualize Israel’s actions normalizes its brazen contravention of international law, tacitly accepting its belligerency and undermining of peace."

Headline uses racist anti-Palestinian language
"To treat Palestinians as a monolith who all “falsely blame Israel” is to defame all Palestinians as somehow engaged in the collective act of lying. Such slanderous sweeping generalizations have no place in fair and balanced media coverage."

Inadequate coverage regarding Ben-Gvir's politics of hate against Palestinians
"It is not enough to bury at the end of your article a reminder that “Ben-Gvir hung a portrait in his living room of a Jewish man who fatally shot 29 Palestinians in the West Bank in 1994.” The order, emphasis, and human texture of your material needs to reflect the facts."

Failure to clarify that Israeli settlements are illegal in "Area C" and all of the Occupied Palestinian Territories
"The article does not clarify that it is illegal according to international law for Israelis to settle anywhere in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including but not limited to Area C. The repetitive focus on Area C further obscures this fact."

Thanks for publishing piece questioning Canada's support for Israel
"Your article sheds light on the incongruence in Canada’s position when it comes to international law, strongly supporting Ukraine for example, while completely neglecting its principles when it comes to Israel’s egregious treatment of the Palestinians."
