"I appreciate Mr. Assaly’s decision to also spotlight this incident amid coverage of other racist statements made by Tony Hinchcliffe at the rally. Rather than leaving his APR remarks unaddressed as well as the awful statement made by Rudy Giuliani ignored, Mr. Assaly took the time to thoroughly expose all of the harmful statements made that day."

"However, the NDP must recognize that embracing a pro-Palestine stance is not just about securing votes; it is about standing on the right side of history and opposing complicity in Israel’s genocide in occupied Gaza. One does not need to be Palestinian to oppose Israel’s ethnic cleansing." Continue reading

"Now, whenever my mom hears a plane, she worries it might be an airstrike. Time may soften the pain and memories can fade, but the weight of this generational trauma is heavy, and it doesn’t really go away, does it?..." Continue reading

"HRC frequently conflates legitimate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, attempting to silence Palestinians and their allies. Should your editorial face undue backlash, please know that CJPME stands ready to support you and defend your freedom of expression." Continue reading

"Watching your segment deeply resonated with me on a personal level. My grandfather is from southern Lebanon and was displaced due to Israel’s expansion of its genocide in occupied Gaza into Lebanon. October is a season of harvest, much as it is for others — a time for gathering olives to produce oil and soap. For us, the olive harvest is not only a yearly tradition of collecting olives, it represents our connection to the land and is a symbol of resistance — reminding us to stay steadfast in the face of hardship much like the olive tree that endures even the harshest of winters."

"This tactic, known as the “Dahiye Doctrine,” originated in the Dahiya neighborhood of Beirut, where the Israeli Offensive Forces conducted devastating assaults during the 2006 war against Lebanon. This resulted in nearly 1,000 civilian casualties, a third of whom were children, alongside widespread destruction of essential civilian infrastructure. General Gadi Eisenkot, then Chief of Israeli Northern Command, justified these actions by stating, 'These are not civilian villages; they are military bases.'"  Continue reading

"Presenting the U.S. envoy's actions as a genuine pursuit of peace perpetuates a misleading portrayal of the geopolitical dynamics at play. From a journalistic perspective, it is essential to scrutinize these narratives critically. It would have been more fair to say that the U.S. Special Envoy “said” it was pushing for peace and then clarifying that the U.S. provides military support, that way Global News is not unfairly lending credence to the paradoxical position the U.S. has taken."

"Il est inexact de décrire le CIJA uniquement comme une organisation de défense des droits des Juifs, sans mentionner son rôle de groupe de lobbyiste pro-israélien. Cette présentation erronée risque de confondre les vues du CIJA avec celles de tous les Canadiens juifs, alors qu’en réalité, il existe une diversité d'opinions au sein de la communauté juive. Le Journal de Montréal devrait clarifier le double rôle du CIJA pour offrir aux lecteurs une compréhension plus précise de sa position."

"It is hard to imagine CBC reporting on other clear-cut cases of hate in this way. Of course, in instances where there is some reason for skepticism, using the language of “alleged” and qualifying the racism makes some sense, but that is not at all the case here and seems entirely inappropriate."

"As the National Post is a member of Canada’s National NewsMedia Council, it is expected that your newsroom provides stories that are factually correct. I urge you to clarify Samidoun’s advocacy efforts and avoid the misleading term “anti-Israel” in order to correctly portray the pro-Palestinian solidarity movement in Canada. Unless the National Post has a mandate to actively contribute to furthering harmful stereotypes and defamatory statements against Palestinians and their allies, I suggest corrections be duly made."
