The sale of the land is contentious because this was the sale of land on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, which are illegal according to international law. This land is not available for purchase by Palestinians. Your summary is, unfortunately, misleading to readers who do not already understand the contentious nature of settlements

"From what we know, there is no evidence to link incidents in synagogues to pro-Palestine protests. Pro-Palestine protests have also not targeted synagogues. You cannot just make these statements without evidence and generalize them as accusations. It is not only not accurate, but it is intentionally inflammatory."

"Thank you once again for prioritizing Palestinian perspectives. Your commitment to fair and accurate reporting is vital, and I urge you to continue this critical work. I hope you will consider my critique in future reporting on Israel and Palestine."

"Aid is not being “limited in the region.” Such words tend to undermine Israel’s actions and responsibility. Israel has blocked aid from entering Gaza, although it is its responsibility as an occupying power to let aid in."

"These words also obfuscate the scale of Israel’s current military campaign in Gaza. Israel has killed civilians in Gaza with military tactics and equipment besides missiles and bombs. Palestinians in Gaza are being targeted and killed by airstrikes, gunshots, and tanks, as well as fatal conditions that have caused death from lack of medicine, starvation, dehydration, and malnutrition."

"The occupying power, Israel, is not legally permitted to transfer its population to the area it occupies, the West Bank. The selling of property in occupied territory, therefore, is illegal. To maintain journalistic standards of accuracy, I recommend that you refer to the West Bank as “occupied” and refer to Israeli settlements as illegal."

"These words not only dehumanize Palestinians' deaths but obscure Israel’s noncompliance with its obligations as an occupying power, which is the reason behind these deaths: failure to discriminate between civilians and combatants and failure to allow humanitarian aid to reach civilians."

In fact, the call came from around 300 Muslim institutions and mosques. Given that SmartScrapers estimates that there are roughly 620 mosques in Canada, this means that – already – almost half of Canada’s Muslim community is in agreement with this call, which the word “several” downplays.

"Given that Hamas targeted military personnel and infrastructure on Oct. 7, only a portion of their attacks can be broadly classified as 'terrorism'."

By misrepresenting the case brought forward by South Africa, as well as the ICJ’s initial ruling, the credibility of claims that Israel is plausibly committing genocide is undermined, further upholding the status quo of Palestine’s oppression.
