The Media Accountability Project  

"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."

Take as well the alleged sexual assault claims where Israeli officials circulated the unsubstantiated claims that Hamas fighters raped women on October 7th, which again were repeated in almost every single mainstream media headline and were uncritically echoed by President Biden who repeated them on national television. 

We expect these considerations to be taken into account in future reporting, even when it comes to reporting coming from news agencies : that Palestinians perspectives should be included  so the reporting is impartial and to add more context when it comes to an occupation power that doesn't just kill Palestinians , but is also attempting to erase an entire civilization.

"The article closes with AP's boilerplate characterization of the Israeli attacks as 'retaliatory.' The ethnic cleansing, genocide and violence against Palestinians has been ongoing for nearly 75 years. It did not begin in October 2023."

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.

It is also important to note that when "Israel says its strikes are aimed at stopping imminent attacks by Hamas and other militants.” it remains a war crime and a crime against humanity to kill unarmed civilians. There is zero justification for Israel’s behaviour.

Leading the article with the perspective of a Palestinian woman in Gaza is much appreciated and rare in our current media landscape. It is also vitally important that victims are duly honored in news reporting. It is refreshing to hear the truth spoken about the fake ceasefire that has not made a whit of difference for Palestinians. In fact, this news segment would be relevant for every day in Gaza since the fake ceasefire was announced.

"We particularly appreciated Mr. Dyer detailing the obvious truth that Israel’s goal is to rid Gaza of Palestinians, and to ridiculing the twisted notion that any such departure could, under the current circumstances, be termed 'voluntary.'"
