"Israel claimed these allegations were based on intercepted documents from Gaza listing his name on Hamas salary and personnel records, claims that could not be independently verified. This context is essential to understanding the targeted nature of the strike, yet you excluded it from your segment." Continue reading

"It’s amazing to me that when it comes to Israel, and only Israel, Canadian governments suspend all our supposedly cherished values of multiculturalism, racial and religious equality, and rule of law." Continue reading

"Highlighting the voices of Palestinian rights groups in Canada echoing accusations of Israel’s genocide and accusing the Canadian government of complicity by continuing military exports to Israel, as per the recently released research conducted by the Palestinian Youth Movement, World Beyond War, and the Arms Embargo Now campaign, is timely and notable." Continue reading

"I believe that The Globe and Mail should either update this piece, or publish a follow up which accurately represents the perspectives and grievances of marginalized groups who have cut ties with Fierté Montréal. I also suggest your reports on Gaza and Palestinians are centered within the frameworks of international law and human rights. I would also avoid using arguments that promote double standards and that dehumanize queer Arabs and Palestinians." Continue reading

"I insist that you refer to Israel’s plan as ethnic cleansing, or use similar clear and accurate phrasing, in future coverage and retract any mentions of evacuation and moving Palestinians in this context. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter." Continue reading

It is not only the Gaza Ministry of Health detailing the number of casualties. Palestinian and International doctors serving in Gaza are reporting on the casualties that are arriving daily at their hospitals. As of July 13, the UN confirmed 875 Palestinians were killed while seeking food, 201 on aid routes and the rest at distribution points. Thousands more have been injured." Continue reading

"On behalf of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME), I would like to sincerely thank you for publishing Shanzae Zaeem’s powerful and timely piece, “As hunger and violence in Palestine rage on, queer Arabs are reimagining resistance.” This article represents a rare and principled intervention in Canadian media which is one that affirms the lived experiences of queer Palestinians and challenges the narratives that so often erase them."

"Israel has waged a nearly 22-month-long military siege on the Gaza Strip. Yet the article presents these claims as unchallenged fact, despite extensive documentation from international human rights organizations (including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, UN bodies, and now two Israeli human rights groups) which have concluded that Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide."
