"By not describing it as such, you are presenting it as representative of the Jewish community and their concerns, which is not fair or accurate to the Jewish human rights activists who are against antisemitism but yet critical of the government of Israel and its oppression and occupation of the Palestinian people."

"Simply put, Thomson has failed to do his job as a professional journalist to present a fair and accurate description of the state of affairs between Israel and Lebanon.  As Parliamentary Bureau Chief of the National Post, his reporting in this story is shoddy and offensive." Continue reading

"Unfortunately, this type of reporting - the use of passive voice and lack of legal context - is commonplace for CBC News. CJPME has regularly reached out and requested that CBC stop endorsing a pattern of anti-Palestinian bias and adopt a more balanced and accurate approach in its coverage of Israel-Palestine."

"The examples demonstrate two things: 1. his anti-Israel stance, which is conflated with antisemitism, and 2. that the media wants to make him guilty by association when he should not bear the responsibility for the people invited to panels where he gave talks." Continue reading

"Blaff’s reporting seems intentionally irresponsible and deceptive.  I insist that Blaff and the Ottawa Citizen update the article to give a more accurate portrayal of the contents of the IPC’s May projection, notably “acute food insecurity” in Gaza.  If not, I may be required to take this issue to the National Newsmedia Council."

"I was also disappointed in how little nuance Boudjikanian brought in his description of Jewish and/or pro-Israel pressure on the Liberals.  While the government has indeed been “accused by Jewish groups of not being supportive enough of Israel,” many might describe these groups as overtly pro-Israel."

"Clear and accurate reporting is crucial, especially when addressing violations of international humanitarian law. I, therefore, immediately urge you to change the headline to: "A wounded Palestinian was used as a human shield, beaten, and tied to an Israeli army jeep." It is essential to accurately reflect this information as it significantly shapes readers’ perceptions of the story, even if they do not read the entire article."

"The dinner you reported about featured a conversation with actress Mayim Bialik who identifies as a Zionist – a supporter of the Israeli colonial project to establish a Jewish national home by ethnically cleansing Palestinians from their homeland. The demonstrators were protesting against funding Israel’s colonial project, making this incident a case of anti-zionism, not antisemitism. Conflating anti-zionism with antisemitism is misleading and does not accurately represent the motivations behind such protests."

"This paragraph not only glosses over the details of the Tal Al-Sultan massacre that you don't even name, but downplays the brutality of what Israel did and its responsibility: Tents were on fire, Palestinians were burned alive, burned, pulled and beheaded bodies were found, 45 Palestinians were killed, mostly women and children, including a headless child (Ahmad Al-Najar), and 249 Palestinians were injured." Continue reading

"All over the world, people were outraged by the horrific images of this massacre, notably the image of the headless child being held up, that circulated on social media, considering that a couple of months back Israel falsely claimed that Hamas beheaded 40 babies, which, on the contrary, sparked global outrage."
