"I insist that any future reporting on Israel’s “democracy” include, crucially, the Palestinian perspective in addition to the explicit qualification that it does not extend to everyone under Israeli rule, noting the findings of apartheid from the human rights sector." Continue reading

"Israel has no constitution. Instead, it has a set of Basic Laws, none of which explicitly protects equality for all its citizens.

"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." Continue reading

"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."
