Issue: McGill Tribune is being attacked for anti-Zionist editorial position

Media Outlet: McGill Tribune

Comments of the CJPME Media Researcher:
(Note: Please do not copy and paste these comments. Please put any supportive comments in your own words.)

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. (Click here to read the pro-Israel organization "Honest Reporting Canada's" (HRC) attack against the Tribune for their anti-Zionist stance.)

Please send a letter of thanks to the McGill Tribune for its courageous anti-Zionist stance, and encourage it to resist pressure to compromise on this stance.
