Glaring misleading headline on Israel-Lebanon ceasefire
"The language used in headlines plays a critical role in shaping public perception. By framing the situation as a "tense ceasefire" rather than highlighting Israel's active violations, the headline misrepresents the situation and fails to hold Israel accountable for its violations."

"Your use of “Jerusalem” to refer to the Israeli government is simply an inaccurate interpretation of the terms of the agreement. I urge you to correct this factual mistake as soon as possible."
Read moreMisleading language & orientalist reporting on Lebanon
"As a member of a Christian family with close relatives living in northern Lebanon with no ties to Hezbollah, I find it troubling that your article homogenizes all Lebanese communities as aligned with this militant group. This generalization is both inaccurate and fuels an outdated Orientalist view that fails to recognize Lebanon’s complex society."

"Israel has been illegally occupying the Palestinian territories for decades, in tandem with its settler violence and indiscrimately killing in the occupied West Bank - not to mention the expansion of its ongoing genocide from occupied Gaza to Lebanon. The world must be made aware of Israel’s blatant violations of international law, and it is through articles like yours that people can begin to understand the full scope of Israel’s genocidal agenda in the Middle East."

"En tant qu'analyste des médias, je pense que Le Devoir est le seul média que j'ai vu aborder la doctrine Dahiya d'Israël et démentir les affirmations de l'armée israélienne selon lesquelles les infrastructures civiles de la bande de Gaza occupée ou du Liban sont ciblées en raison de la présence de dirigeants du Hamas ou du Hezbollah."

"Presenting the U.S. envoy's actions as a genuine pursuit of peace perpetuates a misleading portrayal of the geopolitical dynamics at play. From a journalistic perspective, it is essential to scrutinize these narratives critically. It would have been more fair to say that the U.S. Special Envoy “said” it was pushing for peace and then clarifying that the U.S. provides military support, that way Global News is not unfairly lending credence to the paradoxical position the U.S. has taken."

"Resistance isn’t just about surviving under brutal occupation. From global protests to raising awareness, from speaking out to remaining resilient, resistance takes many forms. It is our collective duty, as a global community bound by our humanity, to demand accountability. We must not rest until Palestine and Lebanon are liberated from decades of Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid, and oppression."
Read moreShocking omission in Chris Brown article on Lebanon and Israel
"A September 20, 2024, Al-Jazeera report found that since October 7, Hezbollah and its allies attacked Israel 1,901 times, whereas Israel attacked Lebanon in the same period 8,313 times. This is a massive discrepancy that one would imagine merits mention in Brown’s article."
Read moreArticle dehumanizes Palestinian Journalist
"Journalists serve as watchdogs, holding states and institutions accountable for unjust actions and violations of international humanitarian law. However, your report appears to normalize Israel's targeting of a journalist. Instead of clearly acknowledging Ms. Al-Udaini’s role as a journalist, you reduce her to a mere writer of “articles about the war in English advocating the Palestinian viewpoint.” This dismissal of her profession is both dehumanizing and unprofessional. She was a journalist, and she should be identified as such. I am shocked that this omission passed editorial review."
Read moreFeedback on coverage of Israel's killing of Canadian couple in southern Lebanon
The article omits critical information, reflecting a troubling pattern in Canadian media that prioritizes Israeli narratives while downplaying or obscuring the realities faced by Palestinians and Lebanese people. By stating that “at least two Canadians have died in the escalating violence in Lebanon,” the article fails to acknowledge the unmistakable fact that these tragic deaths were the direct result of an Israeli airstrike on Ghaziyeh, a village in southern Lebanon. The use of passive voice misguides readers into believing these deaths occurred in a vacuum. This omission is not merely a stylistic choice; it is a significant distortion of the facts that undermines journalistic integrity.
