"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."

"Your headline clearly captures the reality for both Palestinians and Israeli citizens but especially for Palestinians who seek not only peace but also justice. We appreciated that you named both the nationalist government in Israel and the leadership of the Palestinian Authority as factors contributing to the bleak outlook."

"In light of United Nations and expert legal opinion, this article’s language on Israel’s status in the Gaza Strip – “both Israel and Egypt maintain restrictions along their frontiers with the territory,” you write – is legally ambiguous and therefore misleading to your readers. Israel legally occupies Gaza."

"This article contains a glaring omission. You accurately quote the Israeli military’s chief advocate as saying that Israel’s proposed judicial reforms “may crack the aura the judicial system provides to the military.” You then inaccurately report the controversy that has resulted, wrongly telling your readers this is a two-sided debate."

"This story fails to mention the principal feature of the Gaza crisis: Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip and its neglect of its Fourth Geneva Convention obligations. This is a settled matter of law. In 2023, we have had it restated on the highest authority. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) writes: 'The ICRC considers Gaza to remain occupied territory'."

"This article makes an irresponsible and inaccurate claim. It states: 'thousands of Palestinians have been arrested and hundreds have been killed since last year, mainly gunmen or fighters involved in clashes with Israeli troops but also including several uninvolved civilians'. This is untrue. You did not and cannot cite credible forces for such a plain falsehood."

You accurately report in the twelfth paragraph of this article that the Palestinian Authority is still subject to the Israeli occupation. “The PA,” you write, “set up following the 1990s Oslo interim peace accords, exercises limited governance over parts of the West Bank.” Language to this effect is credible – though further context would improve clarity.
