"The result is that your readers are led to think that the onus of blame is on the Palestinians of Ein el-Hilweh – particularly when you include phrases emphasizing, and I quote, how the camp (rather than those who made it necessary) 'is notorious for its lawlessness'. Yet it is precisely the refusal of Israel to abide by Resolution 194 of the United Nations General Assembly that has produced this intractable crisis."

"We want to thank you for providing readers with a nuanced overview of the criticism of Israel’s judicial overhauls. This has been all too rare in the coverage that has appeared in Canadian media to date."

"I urge the AP to include Palestinian perspectives on Israeli judicial reform — a situation in which both Palestinians living under Israeli military occupation and Palestinian citizens of Israel have an enormous amount at stake."

On a critical note, I would continue to urge the AP to reconsider its use of the word “captured” when discussing the West Bank. We consistently read and hear the word “occupied” being applied in the context of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The same standard ought to apply here, especially as the UN Charter specifically outlaws the acquisition of territory by force.

“The article explains why some families in Gaza no longer have homes and how the turf between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas is keeping them from being housed. It features some citations from the Zorob family, one of the affected families. Overall, the article did a fine job of outlining the situation, but the language used and context can be improved to give a more accurate description of Palestinian citizens’ treatment by Israel and Hamas.”

"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".

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
