Failure to specify that Morocco and Israel are occupying powers
I request that the article is updated to mention that like Morocco, Israel is similarly an occupying power over the Palestinian territories of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.
Read moreOne-sided article fails to provide a Palestinian perspective on Israeli judicial reforms
"The article addresses the opposition by army reservists of Israel’s judicial overhaul and the threat it poses to Israeli “democracy.” The article, however, fails to mention the Palestinian people who have never been afforded such “democracy.” This results in a one-sided report."
Read moreThanks for providing important context regarding Israeli apartheid
"Your coverage of the unabated settlement expansion in the West Bank, land that is internationally recognized as being Palestinian land occupied by Israel in 1967, provides your readers with the necessary context in understanding the obstacles to peace that the Israeli government continues to lay down."
Read moreFailure to include essential context regarding settler terrorism in occupied West Bank
"I urge you to include more context to the second paragraph that clearly indicates that settler attacks have been ongoing this year and are not responses to one singular event."
Read moreRe: "Netanyahu: Israel to work to prevent collapse of Palestinian Authority"
"It is telling that the authors make no attempt at framing the PA as a body that prioritizes Palestinians’ freedom. Instead, they touch on the “weakness of the PA in the face of hundreds of Palestinian militants.” Such a tired and veiled characterization of Palestinian resistance to occupation is borrowed directly from the Israeli narrative and lends credence to the current perceived scope of the PA’s activities."
Read moreProblematic framing and the false assertion that Israel provides humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank
"Corroborative statements from multiple reputed international bodies also lend legitimacy to the narrative that Palestinians living in the West Bank are victims of a brutal, decades-long military occupation. For this reason, it was inappropriate to include the claim that “Israel ensures that humanitarian assistance is provided and does not apply any limitation on access for medical staff” in your article, when it has been shown that not only is the Israeli military failing to ensure the provision of such assistance, but is instead actively hampering its delivery."
Read moreFailure to include Palestinian perspectives and voices on escalating Israeli military and settler violence
"As such, I strongly urge Reuters to be far more critical of the Israeli government and military sources when reporting on developments in Israel-Palestine. The quotes by Gallant and Herzi-Halevi are highly contradictory to statements made by other Israeli officials, most notably Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is a staunch supporter for the expulsion, and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes."
Read moreUnbalanced and one-sided article about Israeli military and settler violence in the occupied West Bank
"I would urge Reuters to be far more skeptical of Israeli military sources when it reports on developments related to Israel-Palestine. There has been well-documented evidence by journalists and Israeli human rights organizations such as B’Tselem and Yesh Din that the Israeli military is complicit in attacks by Jewish-Israeli settlers."
Read morePalestinian killed by Israeli military not identified as a civilian in Saltwire
"In the opening paragraph, you describe the murder of 19-year-old Faris Hashash, referring to him there only as a “passerby.” I find it alarming that he would not be described simply as a “civilian.” As you are aware, attacks against civilians carry serious implications in international law. Your article serves to obscure this fact by using the term “passerby.” Further, it is unfortunate to notice that the Israeli vehicle that was shot at in the West Bank around the same time was qualified as a “civilian vehicle.” Why isn’t Hashash qualified as a civilian, but an Israeli car is?"
Read moreMissing photographs and reductive descriptions of Gazan groups in Saltwire article
"The descriptions of both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) are too limited. Rather than relying on catch-all terms like “Islamist” or simply “Iranian-backed,” we encourage journalists to transparently cite the stated aims of these groups."
