"According to Haaretz, this directive essentially permits actions that could lead to the death of captured soldiers or Israeli civilians taken hostage, ultimately to prevent their capture. The use of this directive has important implications for the events of October 7 and drastically changes the original narrative reported by Israel about Hamas’ capturing of civilians. Including this context in your article and future reports about October 7 is crucial to providing a balanced and comprehensive understanding of the actions taken by the Israeli military and their impact on Palestinians in Gaza, as well as their own civilians and soldiers."

"After Haaretz released its damning report that the Israeli military ordered the Hannibal Directive on October 7, I anticipated, to a certain extent, that popular Canadian media would conveniently ignore these findings. I am not surprised that The Canadian Press has fallen into the disappointing and deep pool of Canadian media outlets engaging in this case of deliberate self-censorship."

"I was disappointed with the AP article “Air strike kills 25 in southern Gaza as Israeli assault on Gaza City shuts down medical facilities” published on the Globe and Mail’s website on July 9, 2024. This article failed to meet basic journalism standards. Errors in content or context mislead the readers and the AP article had two errors in word selection: one of omission and the other of addition."

"As of February 2024, Israel's military had conducted over 350 attacks on healthcare facilities throughout the Gaza Strip. These attacks damaged 27 of 36 hospitals in the strip, thus deeming the claim that "eight hospitals" have been attacked outdated and factually inaccurate."

"While I appreciated Ms. Farouk’s attempts at humanizing Palestinian women victims of the Israeli siege on Gaza, some of her reporting decontextualized important elements of the story by quoting the one-sided views of the Israeli state and its military without skepticism."

"It is unfair to describe this person as a protester as they don’t seem to be related to the pro-Palestine protesters. In the video, they are told by pro-Palestine protesters to stop, and pro-Palestine protesters are seen trying to usher them away. They don’t seem to be affiliated with any side, and it is most likely a case of a racist agitator wanting to cast a bad light on the pro-Palestine protesters’ side."

"The term “gun battles” suggests a firefight involving only small arms, which downplays the power imbalance between Israel, an occupying power, and Palestinians, an occupied people who has the right to resist under international law. The context of the conflict within the Gaza Strip involved a mix of urban warfare,  guerrilla tactics, and rocket fire."
