"I really appreciated your dedication to bringing Palestinian stories to the Canadian public, including the perspectives of the Palestinian diaspora in Newfoundland. It is extremely important to share these personal stories as a way to humanize Palestinians, to amplify their voices in our communities, and to counter the ongoing denial of their experiences that we often see in society."

The term “Palestine territories” was used, but we recommend using the widely accepted “Occupied Palestinian Territories” instead. When speaking about the adverse impact that Israel’s military occupation has on children, this is an especially important nuance to capture. Additionally, the region is described as a “warzone,” but this phrasing obscures the asymmetrical nature of the situation, in which Israeli military violence disproportionately impacts Palestinians, especially children. In 2022 alone, Israeli forces and settlers killed 36 children with live ammunition.
