Thanks 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. I thought it was necessary information to put into perspective the reality of the occupation for those who still doubt its severity."

Erreur de mentionner l'existence de la bande de Gaza avant 1948

"Tel qu’écrit dans un article du Devoir, publié hier, 10 octobre, « au moins 700 000 Arabes, et davantage selon les sources, sont expulsés de chez eux », un processus découlant de la création de l’État d’Israël en 1948. En résultat, la réalité démographique et territoriale qu’on appelle la bande de Gaza a été créée en 1948 et pas avant."

Article 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."

Misleading 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."

Merci de mettre en lumière les difficultés rencontrées par les agricultrices de Gaza

"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."

Article fails to add context regarding Hamas and Israel‘s occupation of Gaza

"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."

Article fails to mention Israel’s ongoing blockade of Gaza

"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."

Article reports uncorroborated Israeli army claims as fact

"It is not credible to take a belligerent army’s word as the basis for publishable facts. Where Israel is the sole source for a piece of information, you need to admit this to readers."

Biased article fails to specify the number of Israeli air strikes fired on Gaza

"The number of rockets fired from Gaza is qualified, described as being in thousands; whereas Israel’s attacks are given no such qualification, merely described as an ambiguous number of air strikes. This is a grotesque omission in Israel’s favor, especially given that the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that 3,209 Palestinians have been confirmed killed by Israeli air strikes in Gaza since 2008 — 2,198 of those killed were civilians."
