"Therefore, the use of terms like “terrorist hostages” to describe these detainees is deeply offensive and misleading, given that many are arrested for acts of political resistance or for no discernible reason beyond their identity. It is why readers deserve an explanation of why Smotrich’s language is racist and deflects criticism of Israeli apartheid. The Toronto Star needs to provide readers with this context."

"Amid relentless pressure from groups like Honest Reporting Canada, it is vital for CBC to uphold journalistic integrity and resist attempts to suppress important narratives. Standing firm on principles of fairness and accountability is essential to platform marginalized Palestinian voices and the growing Palestinian solidarity movement in Canada." Continue reading

"It is troubling that your article fails to highlight these crucial details, instead framing Dr. Diab’s situation in a way that reinforces unproven allegations through your clickbait headline and leading paragraph." Continue reading

"They don't have a problem with genocide, in fact they are happy to support it. When I write  genocide I include daily massacres of civilians (462 days now), starvation, dehydration, torture, arbitrary imprisonment not unlike hostage taking, killing medical personnel, killing journalists, killing aid workers. And that is the short list." Continue reading

"The Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy urges journalists to “avoid using misleading and inaccurate terminology,” as such language can create a narrative “far-removed from reality” and can, in some cases, be used deliberately to whitewash Israel’s crimes."  Continue reading

"As Malcolm X, Edward Said, and Franz Fanon warned, colonial powers and their institutions perpetuate systems that vilify the oppressed while glorifying their oppressors. This framing not only enables Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians but also erases the immense suffering of civilians under its brutal occupation." Continue reading

"If Kinsella hopes to have a clearer view of apartheid, he should tour the other side of the wall: the segregated roads, checkpoints, and demolished Palestinian homes in the Occupied West Bank. Then, perhaps, he will finally see it." Continue reading

"Given that Amnesty International has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip, please refrain from using the term “war.” It is neutral and fails to capture the intent behind Israel’s genocidal campaign in the occupied Gaza Strip, which is not merely war, but deliberately destroying Palestinians to further their settler-colonial agenda, covered under the guise of Judaism." Continue reading

"Would you refer to it as a “war” if Russia was doing this to a largely defenceless Ukraine? I don’t think so. In fact world humanitarian groups are now referring to the situation in Gaza as a genocide. This is no longer debateable to anyone but Israeli apologists. I strongly urge you to refer to this carnage as a genocide from now on." Continue reading

"Of course, we’re not interested in dialogue with someone who denies Israel’s genocide in occupied Gaza – since when do the colonizer and the colonized sit at the same table? By failing to challenge these statements, The Stony Plain Reporter is complicit in spreading the dangerous narrative that pro-Palestinian supporters are a threat, which unfairly delegitimizes the entire, overwhelmingly peaceful pro-Palestine movement in Canada."   Continue reading
