Formal complaint regarding dangerous, unfounded claims in "The courage needed to face down hatred.”

In this piece, the editorial board asserts that the shooting involving Sean Ward in Belleville is connected to anti-Zionism, describing Belleville as an "escalation" of anti-Zionist activity.

Concerns Over Tone and Lack of Context

Instead of normalizing war crimes and criminal behaviour, you should be exposing the truth. This article glosses over this story like it is Tom Cruise flying into Cannes for his latest blockbuster release—from the friendly tone to the glamour shots of him looking coy and cozying up to Trump.
