"CJPME demands that reporting on pro-Palestinian protesters by the CBC does not dehumanize them in the process. Mr. Fraser’s report should make it clear that the attack by the counter-protester was unjustified. His use of force is a clear act against freedom of speech and a threat to all Canadians who want to exercise their inherent right to voice their opinion." Continue reading

"Using the term “patient” to refer to Palestinians who were forcibly taken captive and subsequently treated for injuries is a dangerous euphemism that obfuscates the fact that Israel is 1) holding these individuals captive and wrongfully detaining them and 2) “treating” injuries the Israeli military as almost certainly inflicted." Continue reading

"AP is quick to label unconfirmed cases of chants calling for “death to Jews” as antisemitic, but will only refer to extremist Israelis chanting “death to Arabs” as nationalists or ultranationalists." Continue reading

"Since Palestinians could not show and express their nationalism through flag raising, watermelon became a more subversive method because it used colors reminiscent of the Palestinian flag. The same logic can be applied to people using the inverted red triangle." Continue reading

"The numbers you cite are based on B’nai Brith’s annual antisemitism report, which conflates antisemitic incidents with pro-Palestine advocacy. This is a yearly issue, and yet the report is treated as a reliable source. While B’nai Brith keeps the vast majority of the data private, so it cannot be independently verified, some examples they give in their brief public report indicate the numbers do not represent what most Canadians consider antisemitic acts."

"Editing this segment would be ideal to attribute the suffering of the family that was “forced to bribe their way out of Gaza” to Israel’s military onslaught, and not an ambiguous “conflict” or “war-torn Gaza.” Otherwise, this segment is incredibly delusive. Since CBC has rarely edited news segments in response to criticism, I will instead request The National team to consider this critique in future coverage." Continue reading

"In articles related to Israel's current military assault on Gaza, it is paramount to include Palestinian or pro-Palestinian perspectives. Perhaps a testimony explaining the weight of Israel's most recent series of genocidal attacks on Rafah would be appropriate as the "vandalism" you've based your piece off of clearly alludes to Rafah." Continue reading

"Given the accusations of genocide that Israel is facing, it is unfair to report that merely Israel’s actions are part of an effort to “defeat Hamas.” Israeli ministers and military leaders have made genocidal claims and called for the annexation and/or permanent occupation of parts of Gaza." Continue reading

"During the segment on Rafah, the host stated that “1,200 Israeli civilians” were killed by Hamas on October 7. This is, of course, not true. According to social security data, 695 Israeli civilians were killed, as well as 373 security forces and 71 foreigners." Continue reading

"These passages fail to mention Israel's responsibility in Yazan Kafarneh's death, given its blockade of aid and destruction of Gaza's infrastructure. Ms. Cole’s omission downplays the fact that Yazan was a victim of intentional starvation as a weapon of war, a tactic used by Israel’s settler-colonial project built on apartheid and the suffering of Palestinians."  Continue reading
