"In October of this year, I complained to CBC about not clearly stating that Gaza is occupied. Editors rejected the complaint. I asked CBC's Ombudsman to look at the case. He said he can not make decisions about omissions. How will CBC address these concerns?"

"It’s clear that you are referring to Elizabeth May’s trip to the occupied West Bank in 2018. Referring to parts of occupied Palestine as “disputed territories,” is factually incorrect, legally unfounded, and undermines Palestinians’ legitimate indigenous claim to Palestine."

"It is important that you make an on-air clarification that specifies 5 Israeli Border Police officers were injured by friendly fire in the Tulkarem refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, not in Nablus."

"Décrire les événements comme étant le résultat des actions des Palestiniens, c’est de réaffirmer ce déséquilibre de pouvoir et mettre la faute sur les Palestiniens et non sur les Israéliens, la puissance occupante."

"In two sequential sentences, this article reads as follows:'Israel captured east Jerusalem in a 1967 war and later annexed it in a move not internationally recognized. [Paragraph break.] There are roughly 15,000 Christians in Jerusalem today, the majority of them Palestinians who consider themselves living under occupation'. This is inaccurate: the status of Jerusalem is not a matter of subjective Palestinian opinion."

"J’ai particulièrement trouvé frappant la mention de la ségrégation dont font l’objet les Palestinien.ne.s et la manière dont vous l’avez illustrée : le président d’Université refoulé à un checkpoint dimanche et les différentes couleurs de plaques d’immatriculation pour les Israélien.ne.s et Palestinien.ne.s."

"In this light, it is wrong to place the onus of blame on Palestinians for a situation in which Gaza has been under Israeli occupation since 1967 and under an Israeli siege, or blockade, since 2007. Yet in the third paragraph of this article, you introduce the story of recent violence with reference to “two weeks of violent protests” by Palestinians!"

"Canadian readers deserve more balance and fairness in the coverage of these events. It’s not the fault of any particular outlet or the result of a conspiracy; it is a problem that requires constant assessment and improvement. What is happening in Gaza today, and the coverage therein, represents a longstanding problem that will take some honesty and courage to fix."

"Your article makes it sound like Israel has controlled the site since the 1967 war. Given that the article specifically emphasizes the site, this ought to be clarified. Otherwise, casual readers will likely be misled about the governance of the site."

"Nowhere in the article were the words “occupation” or “occupied” used or an explanation of ‘collective punishment’ provided to help readers understand the context or the background of the current protests."
