"I encourage you to host more conversations like this in the future, as they help restore some balance in Canada’s media environment, which overwhelmingly portrays Palestinians and their issues in a negative light."

Dear Rick Zamperin,
I’m writing to express my appreciation for your interview with two presenters from a recent event at Temple Anshe Sholom in Hamilton.
It was refreshing to hear activists speak uninterrupted about Israel’s ongoing occupation of Palestine. Too often, journalists shy away from these conversations for fear of backlash. Your guests came off as well-informed, fair, and balanced in their assessment of the situation.
I encourage you to host more conversations like this in the future, as they help restore some balance in Canada’s media environment, which overwhelmingly portrays Palestinians and their issues in a negative light.
I would also be glad to see this interview published on your website so it can be shared.
Sincerely,
Jason Toney
Director of Media Advocacy, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East
