One-sided article sanitizes ethnic cleansing of Palestinains in Gaza
"The absence of scrutiny in reporting Trump’s statements not only misleads viewers but also normalizes a rhetoric that, under international law, constitutes a textbook case of ethnic cleansing as concluded by Human Rights Watch. This is a grave violation of international humanitarian law that should be reported as such."

Thank you for including the word "Palestine" in your piece!
Unfortunately, mainstream media outlets in Canada have a history of being reluctant to use the word "Palestine." Some never use the word at all, opting instead to only talk about “Palestinians” while erasing their connection to their land, using phrases like “lands Israel occupied” or even referring to Palestinian land as “modern-day Israel.”

Palestinian detainees are hostages NOT prisoners
"Given this context, these detainees are not conventional prisoners and it’s better to describe them as hostages. This distinction is critical, as it challenges the implicit narrative that Palestinians in Israeli prisons have all been convicted of criminal offenses, when in reality, many are held without charge or trial. Reframing their status as hostages better reflects the power dynamics at play and highlights the broader context of occupation and human rights violations by Israel."

Broadcast fails to hold Israel accountable for destruction in occupied Gaza
"Your reporter Ms. Yourex-West describes Gaza as “flattened” and homes as “in ruins” but never says "who" caused this destruction. The result of this nightmare is Israel’s relentless bombardment and siege. This exclusion is irresponsible and goes against journalistic standards. Imagine reporting on Hiroshima’s destruction without mentioning that the United States dropped the atomic bomb—that’s exactly what’s happening here. This segment effectively whitewashes Israel’s deliberate destruction of Gaza."

Glaring double standard in Palestinian vs Israeli casualties
"Why does the Star report that “about 1,200 people” were killed in Israel on October 7 —without distinguishing between civilians and fighters — on October 7, but then make a point of stating that the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza “does not distinguish” between civilians and fighters? This is a blatant and inexcusable double standard that only serves to cast doubt on Palestinian casualty figures."

Another poor broadcast segment on the occupied West Bank
"This is also a major double standard on the part of your newsroom. Imagine describing Russia's actions in Ukraine using Kremlin terminology such as using the term “special military operation” instead of “war.” It would rightly be condemned as irresponsible. The same standard should be applied to Palestinians in the West Bank."

NP article is a mouthpiece for Israeli propaganda
"A core principle of ethical journalism is independence from external influences, yet you have aligned yourself with an organization that promotes a singular, partisan narrative on Israel-Palestine. By accepting this award, you have made it clear that National Post is not a neutral publication but a politically driven platform."

Re: "What gets lost in the discussion about antisemitism”
"Take a hypothetical example: if Muslims were to create a “nation of Islam” on Palestinian land, forcibly displacing Palestinians and occupying Palestinian land in the process, I would condemn it just as strongly— even as a Muslim— because it would involve colonizing the land of the indigenous people."

Misleading lang. in article ab/ Iron Wall Operation in occupied West Bank
"There are fears from local authorities in Jenin that what is happening in Jenin and the rest of the West Bank is part of a much bigger plan to annex the Occupied West Bank. Global News should clarify their report that Israel has shown no clear evidence that it is “targeting terrorist infrastructure” in Jenin."

One-sided reporting & lack of Palestinian voices
"By choosing to give a prominent, unchallenged platform to a pro-Israel lobby group while ignoring the very students responsible for negotiating the agreements, CTV News is effectively erasing Palestinian perspectives and perpetuating the racist trope that Palestinian activism is illegitimate, dangerous, or antisemitic by default."
