"We are therefore requesting that a correction be issued regarding the claims we specified above. The methodology of the report should be specified in the correction in order for readers to understand the report’s actual findings. We also believe it is necessary to include the perspective of Independent Jewish Voices given their criticism of the survey and their exclusion from the data as well as CBC’s reporting on this subject."

"At a minimum, the reporter should indicate that the Israeli settlers were armed, and she should have attempted to obtain and refer to Palestinian accounts of the confrontation - not just relying on what 'the Israeli military has said' - especially since this situation occurred in a Palestinian village."

Palestinians are under siege in their own towns and being attacked by Israeli settlers. This is also an important context that should be added in future reporting.

When a claim from a party to the conflict has not been checked, it should be reported as that party's claim, and readers should be told if it could not be verified. That is AP's own journalistic standard.

"Coverage of these events too often relies on passive or agent-less constructions, such as '10 killed in strikes,' that leave readers unsure of who acted and who was harmed. Your headline does neither. It states plainly who carried out the strike and identifies those killed as Palestinian, giving readers an accurate starting point for understanding the story."

The attack on the visibly Muslim woman in 2024 was alarming in that it is clearly part of a growing rise in anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim  incidents since October 7, 2023. For that reason, we would have appreciated if the 2024 attack was referenced as anti-Muslim or anti-Palestinian raciism earlier in your article rather than relegating it to the very end of the article.

The article rightly raises skepticism around Israeli claims by including Palestinian perspectives, noting that both Hamas and the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza deny the accusation that Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is a member of Hamas. Given that a key element in the Israeli playbook is relying on misinformation in their war of information, including Palestinian perspectives and denying these baseless allegations is so important.

To characterize the expansion of Israel’s occupation of Gaza as something done “quietly” is incorrect and unfair. Israel is illegally expanding its occupation in Gaza.

While I appreciate this inspiring story of Palestinian women’s strength and tenacity, well-timed during FIFA, which gives much-needed space for Palestinians to give their perspectives, the story is undermined by the lack of recognition of why Palestinian women are facing these challenges in the first place.

An insurgency is a condition of revolt against a government. I don’t think it is an apt descriptor of Israel's actions in this case, in the name of accuracy and in accordance with CBC’s JSP I would suggest changing it to "invasion" or "assault" or as every international body has described as an ethnic campaign of genocide from the ICJ to Amnesty to the United Nations.
