We expect that extreme pro-Israel individuals will attack the Toronto Star for its exploration of Palestinian perspectives through this article.  So a strong response in support of the Toronto Star’s Richie Assaly is important.  Continue reading

The broadcaster interviewed Abu Akleh's brother Anton, who at one point states, "There is no reason to target an unarmed journalist holding just a notepad and her pen."  The conversation came ahead of a concert and reception this evening in Ottawa launching the award. Continue reading

As Israel steps up its attacks on the occupied West Bank, certain news outlets are reproducing the false statements of Israeli spokespeople about the casualties from Israel’s latest offensive.
