"Toronto Sun reporter Bryan Passifiume fails to meet basic journalistic standards by sidelining diverse Jewish-Canadian perspectives. His coverage of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union's (OPSEU) decision to select Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) for antisemitism training amplifies pro-Israel voices while excluding balanced viewpoints."

The National aired a remarkable news segment exposing Israeli settler violence in the occupied West Bank, the illegality of Israel’s settlements on Palestinian territories, and Israel’s forced displacement of Palestinians from their land. In a media landscape often marked by the silencing of Palestinian voices, CBC broke the trend by courageously shedding light on the injustices Palestinians are enduring, setting an inspiring precedent for fair and accurate reporting.

Many other important points can be raised. We encourage you to read carefully and put points into your own words. The article ultimately suppresses pro-Palestine voices and amplifies pro-Israel organizations. It misrepresents pro-Palestine advocacy and editorializes far beyond the norms of ethical journalism.

"This feature on Canadian forces’ work in the West Bank omits the context of occupation and apartheid, undermining the accuracy and balance of the coverage. The headline and content fail to refer clearly to the West Bank as occupied. The article mentions occupation only in a photo caption, overlooking a critical aspect of international law which views Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories as illegal." Continue reading

"The Toronto Star published a remarkable essay by Pacinthe Mattar that provides the critical context needed on discussions about Palestinian representation, exposing how the media dangerously buries and marginalizes Palestinian voices. Please help us send our thanks to the Toronto Star for amplifying Palestinian and Arab voices and encourage them to continue doing so! This article will almost certainly come under fierce attack from pro-Israel groups, so any appreciation will go a long way." Continue reading

"The National Post recently published a highly inflammatory article calling for Canada to bar Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, from entering the country. The article frames Albanese's documented advocacy for Palestinian rights as antisemitic and only includes one-sided quotes from pro-Israel figures to revoke her diplomatic immunity and UN mandate."

This article published by the Winnipeg Sun is rife with factual inaccuracies and promotes racist narratives against Palestinians. It conflates pro-Palestinian advocacy with terrorism, representing a clear form of anti-Palestinian racism aimed at stifling legitimate calls for criticism against Israel’s apartheid regime. It is unacceptable for the Winnipeg Sun to publish this kind of content and portray racism in a positive light. Continue reading

"The whole letter essentially conflates pro-Palestinian advocacy with terrorism from beginning to end. This is a form of anti-Palestinian racism designed to conflate advocacy for Palestinian human rights by defaming protesters as terrorist threats and sympathizers. This kind of rhetoric is harmful, racist and should never have been published in its current form. Orillia Matters should be held accountable for amplifying it." Continue reading

"Ms. Robinson omits that her dismissal was not for 'impolitic words,' but rather due to public backlash over her dismissive and racist remarks about historic Palestine, where she referred to it as 'a crappy piece of land with nothing on it.'" Continue reading

In her opinion piece, former Canadian ambassador to Israel Vivian Bercovici makes numerous misleading claims regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of Yahya Sinwar. However, the most libellous statement was her inclusion of a debunked claim that Sinwar was carrying an UNRWA identity card, despite no credible evidence from reliable sources confirming this.
