A Twitter thread shows a small sample of such examples, including pro-Israel students chanting anti-Semitic phrases, which were widely misreported as being a protest chant. While you do frame the claim as an allegation, it is unfortunate that an allegation without evidence is the lead into an article about a protest against genocide.

Unlike other articles regarding this topic, you denounce the conflation of antisemitism and anti-Zionism and plainly state that Dahab’s advocacy for Palestine is pro-Palestinian and anti-genocide, not antisemitic. Thank you for writing this article defending Dahab and her Palestinian advocacy. Please continue to do so!

"Contrasted with the photo of an indoor interfaith meeting from Rabbi Wise himself, the photo seems intended to project xenophobia and fanaticism. This is highly inappropriate and deliberately misleading on the part of the Spec."

"I applaud students today who are engaging in contemporary issues, protesting atrocities even worse in some ways than what concerned us. I don not recall any state violence where 135 children a day are being killed by the aggressor as is the case with Israel’s bombardment of Gaza."

Please help us challenge the points mentioned by Daniel Kollek in his opinion piece. The author makes several unfounded claims. Even opinions must be grounded in fact. Join us in challenging these gross misrepresentations, which have no place in a fair and balanced media landscape.

"Any mention whatsoever of Israel’s “Operation Break the Wave” continues to evade AP’s reporting. I could find no evidence that AP has even once mentioned the Operation. By failing to name that Israel’s “near daily raids” are part of a deliberate, documented military strategy obscures the reality that these attacks on Palestinians are not mere reactions, but part of a planned military operation that is largely offensive by design."

"You describe Hamas as ‘the militant group that rules the Gaza strip”. This is rather reductive and lazy journalism. Palestinians have suffered dispossession, occupation and apartheid under Israel for decades, so it is not surprising that many Palestinian groups take up arms against Israel."

"While your coverage is thorough and gives your readers a detailed idea of what is happening with this developing story, there is no context given regarding who these Palestinian refugees are and why they are in a camp in southern Lebanon."

The majority of the international community has long recognized that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land and the building of illegal settlements is a major obstacle to the creation of a contiguous and viable Palestinian state. It is important that your audience is made aware of this through articles such as this one.

"BDS is often maligned as an antisemitic movement, but the BDS movement, in its own words, “upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity.” The movement was inspired by the boycott of South African apartheid, and simply upholds the human rights of Palestinians."
