"Such a description misrepresents Hamas because in 2006, it won the Palestinian legislative elections and, following a power struggle with Fatah, took control of certain aspects of the Gaza Strip in 2007. The terms “controlled,” “seized control” and “took over the territory” obscure essential electoral elements of Hamas’ governance."

"The report fails to mention Israel’s crippling, ongoing blockade of Gaza. It also misrepresents Hamas because in 2006, Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections and, following a power struggle with Fatah, took control of certain aspects of the Gaza Strip in 2007."

"Accuracy demands that you clearly distinguish between East and West Jerusalem and refer to “occupied” or "annexed” sites (e.g., Al-Aqsa) when discussing East Jerusalem."

"Given that Palestinian resistance groups are often framed in media coverage as being opposed to the existence of Israel, despite many clearly indicating an openness to the Arab Peace Plan, it is critical that a high degree of precision be exercised in this context to help rebalance the scales."

"Nowhere in the article were the words “occupation” or “occupied” used or an explanation of ‘collective punishment’ provided to help readers understand the context or the background of the current protests."

"In order to be more accurate, efforts should be made to clarify the asymmetrical nature of violence by providing death toll numbers where appropriate, rather than burying them at the end of articles. In this case, death toll numbers should immediately follow the quote in question."

"Your segment fails to clarify that the West Bank is “occupied.” It has become a near-universal journalistic standard that the West Bank be qualified as “occupied” in reporting, as its exclusion obscures important power dynamics at play."

"Just as Netanyahu can as little be trusted as Musk to speak credibly against antisemitism or much anything else, your readers deserve to know that Netanyahu is a sitting prime minister whose finance minister is a self-described “fascist” and whose minister of national security has been compared by pro-Israel stalwarts to the leadership of the Ku Klux Klan. To report on racism without credible anti-racist sources is irresponsible."

"Of course, the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp is precisely a refugee camp, and effort should have been undertaken in citing this example to identify and report this family’s point of origin, most likely in the Galilee."

"Your readers do deserve to know that Smotrich is an advocate of hate speech and hateful policy. You write that after the mob assault on Hawara earlier this year, “Smotrich said the town should be ‘erased’”; he added, which you do not mention, that it was his intention to inflict such cruelty with state powers: “the state should do it,” he said."
