Thanks for demonstrating that the use of passive voice absolves Israel of guilt
"It is unfair that people who were not present at the pro-Palestine rally are given a prominent right to comment, while those who attended and the organizers of the rally themselves are not."
Read moreArticle reports that the Gaza Strip is not under Israeli occupation
"Occupation is an important concept because occupying powers have certain legal obligations under international law. For CBC to diminish the claim of occupation is to downplay the importance of this claim. The Canadian public deserves to know the facts."

Article omits that Gaza is under effective Israeli occupation
"Your article omits that Gaza is under effective Israeli occupation. This is a widely held position. The UN’s Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza conflict (a.k.a. “Goldstone Report”) determined unambiguously in 2009 that Israel exerted “effective control” over the Gaza Strip, and therefore continued to be an occupying power."
Read moreThanks for including a Gazan-Canadian voice in article
"I especially liked that this article gave a voice to a Gazan-Canadian on the ground in Gaza, Mansour Shouman, and that it shed light on the 400 Canadians and their families currently stuck in the Gaza Strip."
Read moreThanks for contextualizing Israel‘s war on Gaza
"While the information can be a recap for certain people, I learned something new: according to Save the Children, in 2022, half of its survey sample kids in Gaza had thought about suicide.

En résultat, la réalité démographique et territoriale qu’on appelle la bande de Gaza a été créée en 1948 et pas avant."
Read moreArticle inaccurately describes Hamas
"Your article does not fairly depict Hamas, although it is the main focus of your article. Your reference to “Gaza's ruling Islamist movement Hamas” is not an adequate description."
Read moreMisleading language used to describe Hamas
"Use of that phrase, Islamic Resistance Movement, is a matter of basic journalistic balance. In the same sense that you credibly refer to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), whether or not this organization is focused on “Defense,” use of “the Islamic Resistance Movement” as the parallel description of Hamas is a matter of even-handed consistency of form."

"J’ai apprécié ce photoreportage qui donne une voix aux Palestiniennes et pose un regard sur les enjeux que les femmes agricultrices de Gaza ont à affronter dans leur profession dont leur plus gros obstacle : le blocus terrestre, aérien et maritime d’Israël."

Context about Israel’s ongoing blockade and occupation of Gaza omitted in AP article
"To provide a complete picture of the events in Gaza, you should add even minimal context about Israel’s ongoing blockade and effective occupation of Gaza. A sentence like “protests have driven up tensions” does not fully and fairly describe this context. It is highly misleading and one-sided."
