"Third, you mention the “famine facing civilians.” While I appreciate that this was not the focus of your report, any reference to that famine must mention that Israel openly blockaded Gaza for months (and now allows in barely a trickle of food). Without that context, the reader could easily think that the famine is due to natural causes, such as a drought."

"I want to amplify her call to let the international press into Gaza. It’s no secret why Israel wants to keep them out, as they have done for decades during their deadly attacks on Gaza - to try and eliminate documentation of their atrocities."

"As you know, Israel has banned international media from entering Gaza, leaving Palestinian journalists as the only source of news. We are dependent on them to document and report what is happening on a daily basis."

"The headline would be more accurate and fair if it specified that the 5 journalists killed were Palestinian journalists. Otherwise, the omission risks feeding into the broader pattern of erasing Palestinian identity in Canadian media coverage."

"The Hamilton Spectator must not allow, even under the banner of “opinion,” misinformation to be given legitimacy. Palestinian journalists who have been executed by Israel, like Anas al Sharif, peace be upon him and all Palestinian martyrs, deserve better."
