There are glaring holes in your reporting of the famine and ongoing Genocide in Gaza due to your weak and obscure language, which subtly undermines the scale of starvation and dehydration in the Gaza Strip and, most importantly, absolves Israel of its central responsibility for these devastating outcomes.

"Israel’s allegation – that 12 of UNRWA’s 30,000 employees may have participated in the October 7 Hamas attack in some way and that 190 UNRWA employees are double agents – has not been proven and must be approached with significant caution and qualification."

"I find it inappropriate to report the numbers of Israeli  dead in the first section of the article, while not giving the much larger Palestinian losses until the fourth section. One would expect to see these closer together unless the intention is to downplay the number of Palestinians killed."

"Informed Canadian readers should by now all know that Israel has decisive control over the Rafah crossing. The Saturday Globe and Mail, for instance, gave us reports that Rafah was closed because “Israel has not agreed to allow humanitarian supplies to enter Gaza from Egypt, where large numbers of trucks are awaiting entry.” Israel, the Globe clarified, has this week exercised its control over the Rafah crossing to impose a siege on Gaza: “the Israeli authorities halted all supplies of food, fuel, water, and medicine into Gaza.” 

“The instructions issued by the Israeli authorities for the population of Gaza City to immediately leave their homes, coupled with the complete siege explicitly denying them food, water, and electricity, are not compatible with international humanitarian law.”

"Your article does not fairly depict Hamas, although it is the main focus of your article. Your reference to “Gaza's ruling Islamist movement Hamas” is not an adequate description."

"Violence in the West Bank has raged for more than a year, amid stepped-up Israeli military raids, increased settler assaults on Palestinian villages, and a spate of Palestinian attacks on Israelis."

"To be more accurate, you should mention that Israel violated the blue line multiple times after withdrawing from South Lebanon in 2000 and waged a war against Lebanon in 2006."

"Just as Netanyahu can as little be trusted as Musk to speak credibly against antisemitism or much anything else, your readers deserve to know that Netanyahu is a sitting prime minister whose finance minister is a self-described “fascist” and whose minister of national security has been compared by pro-Israel stalwarts to the leadership of the Ku Klux Klan. To report on racism without credible anti-racist sources is irresponsible."

"The number of rockets fired from Gaza is qualified, described as being in thousands; whereas Israel’s attacks are given no such qualification, merely described as an ambiguous number of air strikes. This is a grotesque omission in Israel’s favor, especially given that the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that 3,209 Palestinians have been confirmed killed by Israeli air strikes in Gaza since 2008 — 2,198 of those killed were civilians."
