"Golda Meir’s comments were and remain inflammatory, as they contribute to the effort to erase Palestinians and their identity. Rather than try to explain away her remarks or whitewash them, Mr. Levine should face them plainly and make clear their unacceptability."

"This article contains a glaring omission. You accurately quote the Israeli military’s chief advocate as saying that Israel’s proposed judicial reforms “may crack the aura the judicial system provides to the military.” You then inaccurately report the controversy that has resulted, wrongly telling your readers this is a two-sided debate."

"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."

"As documented below, over a roughly 28-hour time period last week, CBC's coverage of Israel’s military invasion of the Jenin refugee camp consistently referred to Palestinians in the camp as "terrorists" or to Jenin itself as a “terror hub.” This language, directly adopted from the Israeli military, was presented to Canadian audiences without sufficient skepticism or counter-claims by journalists or others. This terminology was imprecise, misleading, defamatory and dehumanizing."

"The headline change, resulting in the replacement of the world “expulsion” with “displacement” downplays the fact that Palestinians were forced from their land and homes, and creates a factually inaccurate portrayal of the 1948 Nakba. By the time the State of Israel was declared on May 14, 1948, over 200 Palestinian villages had already been “emptied as people fled in fear or were forcibly expelled by Zionist forces, and approximately 175,000 Palestinians had been made refugees." Plan Dalet, adopted by Zionist forces in April 1948 sought to expel Palestinians and destroy, and depopulate Palestinians villages, resulting in at least 750,000 Palestinians forcibly expelled between 1947 and 1949." 

"While the three Israelis who were killed in two incidents are mentioned in the headline and first paragraphs of the article, there is no mention that a Palestinian was killed during the Israeli settler attack on Huwara (Hawara) and surrounding villages. The killing of Sameh al-Aqtash, is the immediate context for the retaliatory attack on an Israeli motorist, and this should have featured prominently in the story. This omission is not acceptable, but shows an unjustified asymmetry in how Israeli and Palestinian casualties are reported."
