Your article provides eight instances of Israeli denials of violations, giving a platform to an accused criminal state to defend itself at great length. Meanwhile, it provides little detail on the extensive evidence of war crimes and the "catastrophic conditions" that led the UN's top court to issue its ruling. Continue reading

Rather, Israel inflicted a well-documented mass displacement and dispossession of more than 700,000 Palestinians starting in 1948, and has continued with illegal settlements, evictions, land confiscation, home demolitions and deadly settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, along with many other ongoing injustices suffered by Palestinians due to Israel’s illegal, military occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. Palestinians are indisputably legitimate victims of the policies and actions of Israel. Continue reading

"This framing misrepresents CJPME’s advocacy for Palestine human rights by conflating criticisms of Israel’s human rights violations of Palestinians as antisemitic in nature. In fact, such conflation which perpetuates a harmful narrative equating Palestine solidarity with antisemitism is a clear example of anti-Palestinian racism, as defined by the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association and the federal government through the Canadian Guide to Understanding and Combating Islamophobia." Continue reading

CBC ought to extensively cover these new developments and make every effort to update past stories that simply parroted the narrative put forward by Israel as a pretext to break the ceasefire agreement and kill more Palestinians in Gaza. Continue reading

The Palestinian population was terrorized by Haganah and other militias, and forcibly expelled in the first wave of ethnic cleansing that accompanied the formation of the Israeli state. Continue reading

Ms. Look’s statement referencing murder and Allah is Islamaphobia and has no place in the article. Even in the context of opinion, including it violates CAJ’s principles of impartial and fair reporting. It adds nothing to the argument other than fanning the flames of hatred against an increasingly marginalized group. Continue reading

If the Financial Post purports to be a serious media outlet, then it should immediately withdraw this shameless, paint-by-numbers recitation of the canon of fact-free hasbara repeated by propagandists for almost 80 years. Any media outlet worthy of the name must have a non-negotiable policy of printing only the truth. It should also give voice to Palestinians, who have endured unimaginable suffering for generations, so as to give Western audiences a dose of reality that they so desperately need. Continue reading

I also didn’t realize that Israelis could hear it. What you have highlighted here is that Israelis don’t have to listen to the sound of their war crimes any longer — except Israel has already violated the ceasefire of this so-called “peace deal” several times. I would imagine they are still hearing it and are able to go about their day all the same.  Continue reading

It is unfair and an affront to the dignity and rights of Palestinians to end the article in this way, without referring to abundant evidence of  “systematic and widespread perpetration of sexual and gender-based violence, torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment inflicted on Palestinian detainees by Israeli military and security forces” as detailed in a recent UN Special Committee report.  Continue reading

There is a serious lack of context that removes accountability from Israel, the occupying power that has been denying the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and most importantly which has been causing the “human catastrophe” in Gaza in the first place. Continue reading
