Inaccurate word choice during today's episode

"Many Palestinian detainees are not prisoners in the conventional sense. They are being arbitrarily detained, often without due process, which means referring to them as “prisoners” is not only misleading but, arguably, factually incorrect. Further, many of the Palestinians are women and children. And many more report facing torture, sexual abuse, and other crimes." Continue reading

 

Self-censorship of flag-raising policy

"It is deeply concerning that SaskToday chose to exclude this information, as it demonstrates the extent of external political pressure that influenced Regina’s leadership." Continue reading

 

Palestinians are "detained" by Israel, they are not "prisoners"

"It is as if Reuters is randomly choosing which term to use each time. This inconsistency is not a minor linguistic issue—it reinforces the inaccurate narrative that all Palestinians in Israeli custody are convicted criminals, when in reality, many are held without charge or trial and cannot be considered “prisoners” according to the normal definition."

East Jerusalem, West Bank, and Gaza Strip are occupied, not disputed territories

"As a member of the National NewsMedia Council, the Toronto Sun has a responsibility to adhere to journalistic standards of accuracy and fairness. By framing the occupation as a matter of dispute without providing proper context, the article fails to meet these standards." Continue reading

Corrections needed on Rebel News coverage of MAP work

"Mr. Dhaliwal’s article inadvertently highlights the effectiveness of MAP’s work. He directly copies and pastes quotes from our media alert into his piece, proving that Rebel News is paying attention to our efforts whether their team admits it or not." Continue reading

 

Very poor coverage of the occupied West Bank

"This framing uncritically repeats the Israeli military’s narrative of a counterterrorism operation without questioning its proportionality or compliance with international law. For instance, the article whitewashes the Israeli military’s actions by blindly repeating their justifications for “raids” through the claim that they are targeting "militants" despite there being supporting evidence indicating otherwise. Furthermore, the article barely includes any Palestinian perspectives which contributes to this one-sided reporting that heavily relies on the claims made by an occupying force." Continue reading

 

Thank you + misleading framing of Honest Reporting Canada

"HRC is far from neutral. Journalists who report factually on Israel—or anyone critical of Israel’s ongoing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip, its apartheid policies, settler violence in the occupied West Bank, or raids on Palestinian territories—are often targeted by HRC’s intimidation tactics and smear campaigns." Continue reading

 

Re: “Canada in the world and the war in Gaza”

"To anyone with a moral compass the situation is crystal clear – there is nothing on this earth that justifies this behaviour. Wiseman tries to invert this reality and in the process has damaged The Hill Times’ credibility. Such hateful rhetoric does not deserve to be published by a reputable paper." Continue reading

 

Poor coverage of the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip

"As a public broadcaster, Global News has a duty to provide fair, accurate, and thorough reporting. Reducing the suffering of Palestinian civilians to footnotes for your news anchor while whitewashing Israeli narratives betrays this responsibility. The situations in Gaza and the West Bank demand nuanced and extensive coverage." Continue reading
