"I am disappointed to see that your article, which focuses on the environmental impact of the use of plastic bags in Gaza, completely disregards Israel’s environmental exploitation in Palestine/Israel which disproportionately affects Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied territories." Continue reading

"The West Bank and East Jerusalem are widely (if not universally) considered occupied territory. Palestinians there live under Israeli military law and have no right to vote for the government that rules them." Continue reading

"Your closing statement aligns the motives of the gunman with the Hamas party which is inaccurate. Multiple news reports indicated that the Palestinian gunman denounced any connection to a political party, as did his family. Would it not have been more accurate reporting to end your story by stating ‘the motives of the gunman were unclear?" Continue reading

"To uncritically label these raids as “arrest raids” and further frame them as being in response to “Palestinian attacks” falsely equates Palestinian armed resistance to occupation—a right which any occupied people has the legal right to—with Israeli institutional aggression against a besieged people.

"While it is alarming to see such clearcut false statements in print, it is equally concerning that there is such defamatory language used toward Palestinians. Walker’s definition of terrorism is confounding, as he is talking about groups in Jenin that were actively resisting an Israeli military invasion." Continue reading

"BDS is often maligned as an antisemitic movement, but the BDS movement, in its own words, “upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity.” The movement was inspired by the boycott of South African apartheid, and simply upholds the human rights of Palestinians."

"Because of the above sentence, and the language used in the article in general, many readers would presumably conclude that Edelstein and his Likud party or Israel's governing coalition, then, might be flexible on the issue of Palestinian statehood. This is, however, not the case at all, and readers ought to know." Continue reading
