"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Your headline contradicts both United Nations and Canadian government opinion on the status of Jerusalem. “Canada does not recognize Israel's unilateral annexation of East Jerusalem,” the Government of Canada explains."

"This is extraordinarily dangerous. When covering a situation in which six times more Palestinians than Israelis have been killed, a photograph reflecting this reality is in order. We insist that a photograph credibly suited to the coverage replace this one."

"We insist that Palestinian public opinion about their oppressors – notwithstanding Israeli vetoes on PA elections – be covered in your work. Palestinian support for resistance in these circumstances is a fact that responsible journalism must cover."

"A phrase like this one – 'Israeli soldiers have repeatedly raided the camp to kill and capture suspected militants' – places the violent enforcers of an illegal occupation on the side of 'order,' as you state explicitly in asking whether those you select to define as 'Palestinian forces,' and we quote, 'can impose order without Israeli interference.'"

"It should be mentioned that these are Palestinians who were forcibly expelled from their homes by Israel following the Nakba in 1948. AP articles typically include this type of basic contextualization when discussing events in Israel. The same treatment should be given to Palestinians living in Lebanon."

"The use of the word “captured” when referring to Israel’s occupation of the West Bank is misleading, suggesting that Israel has a strong claim to or ownership of these territories. International law never uses the term “captured” when referring to land appropriation, and the international community has never diplomatically acquiesced to Israel's ongoing military presence in the West Bank."
