"By repeating Israel’s claims without providing adequate surrounding context, your article effectively disseminates a one-sided talking point. Journalists should not act as stenographers of Israeli military euphemisms that downplay the well-documented risks that their actions present towards civilian lives in Lebanon."

Unfortunately, this highly sanitized, ambiguous language to explain the Nakba is inappropriate. “Displacement,” as you write, doesn’t begin to describe even one component of the ethnic cleansing that led to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. About 700,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled, 15,000 were massacred, roughly 500 Palestinian towns were destroyed, and Israel stole 4,244776 acres of Palestinian land.
