"Palestinian refugees are, by definition, refugees from somewhere. Your readers deserve to know the source and cause of Palestinian refugee questions in Lebanon: the country to the south of Lebanon is central to all Palestinian refugee developments within Lebanon".

"Although this alternative paragraph would be accurate in its reliance on uncorroborated Israeli claims, this reliance is in itself not very credible. In addition to being transparent about relaying Israeli claims, accuracy demands that you rely on them less."

"Your headline contradicts both United Nations and Canadian government opinion on the status of Jerusalem. “Canada does not recognize Israel's unilateral annexation of East Jerusalem,” the Government of Canada explains."

"This is extraordinarily dangerous. When covering a situation in which six times more Palestinians than Israelis have been killed, a photograph reflecting this reality is in order. We insist that a photograph credibly suited to the coverage replace this one."

"We insist that Palestinian public opinion about their oppressors – notwithstanding Israeli vetoes on PA elections – be covered in your work. Palestinian support for resistance in these circumstances is a fact that responsible journalism must cover."

I insist that future coverage provide more balanced sourcing and give Palestinian sources the opportunity to describe events on the ground rather than rely strictly on Israeli ones.

"Your coverage of this story allows your readers to learn about yet another alarming incident of settler violence towards Palestinians, and how they are increasingly escaping any kind of recourse or punishment."

"Making clear the differences between antisemitism and anti-Zionism is important for free speech and for Palestinian human rights groups who rightfully criticize Israel’s apartheid."

"The prime minister continues to assert that Canada will always remain a “steadfast friend” to Israel. Maybe then, the Prime Minister should help his “friend” to become a responsible member of the international community, rather than an apartheid regime of oppression."

The use of the word “captured” when referring to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land is misleading as your readers may assume that Israel has legitimate claim to the land or ownership of these Palestinian territories.
