The McGill Tribune has been under attack by "Honest Reporting Canada" for its editorial position to reject a pro-Zionist opinion article. It may also face pressure from the McGill administration. In a letter to the author of the article, the Tribune asserted its anti-Zionist stance saying that Zionism "is a settler-colonial ideology that has perpetuated the ethnic cleansing of Palestine." The Tribune has a right to its principled position and should not be bullied for its editorial decisions.
