Dear Mr. McArthur, Ms. Mackenzie,
I’m writing to you on behalf of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME, https://www.cjpme.org) to express my gratitude regarding your news segment the “Morning Shows,” on Newfoundland TV (CJON).
Including Palestinian Canadian Jackie Khalileh on your show to talk about her personal struggles and her new book is important especially during a time when Palestinians are generally portrayed in a negative light by the news media.
It is essential to continue featuring Palestinian Canadians on your show as this allows your readers to learn about their culture, struggles, and so much more.
As such, I would like to encourage you to continue to include Palestinian voices on The Morning Show in the future.
Should you wish, you can contact me at 438-380-5410 for more information.
Sincerely,
Mohamed Khalaf
Director of Strategic Operations,
Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East
