Of particular note, the article draws on perspectives from the New Brunswick chapter of Independent Jewish Voices and CJPME, demonstrating the solidarity of Jewish allies and other activists and advocates for Palestinians, and more broadly, for peace and justice in the Middle East.  Continue reading

Israel has been deliberately killing the voices of truth - the brave journalists on the ground documenting its massacres - from the assassination of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in May 2022, who was shot by the Israeli forces while covering an Israeli military raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, to Israel’s deliberate assassination of Al-Manar correspondent Ali Shoaib in an Israeli airstrike in Jezzine, southern Lebanon, in which Al-Mayadeen correspondent Fatima Ftouni was also killed.

It is clear that Bercuson’s piece is irredeemably flawed and its publication incompatible with a newspaper’s obligation to the truth. It is therefore essential that the National Post retract it and commit to fact checking any future items on this topic. Continue reading

Israel’s blockade of Gaza is illegal under international law but AP did not say this once in the article. Why? Continue reading

It is unfortunate, however, that you cite Israel’s rejection of the figures without specifying that it has produced no actual evidence to the contrary or alternative data. It would also be relevant to note that, regardless of what Israel may say publicly, its military accepted the accuracy of the death tolls given by Gaza’s Ministry of Health in early 2026, calling it “broadly accurate.” This view is reflected by Israeli intelligence agencies as well.

We have serious concerns regarding the evidence relied upon in the report, as well as controversy surrounding the founder of the non-profit organization, Cochav Elkayam-Levy, raising significant questions about the credibility of the commission’s findings. These concerns should warrant fair-minded journalistic scrutiny by The Globe and Mail, which is presently missing. Continue reading

Describing Iran as Hezbollah’s “masters” strips Lebanese actors of political agency. The term masters is at best a provocative term, and at worst its flatour incendiary. In either case, its usage constitutes a strong expression of slanted personal opinion. The purpose of analysis articles, according to the JSP, is to offer readers insights “based on facts.” We believe this framing sacrifices the intent of analysis in favor of polarizing sensationalism.

The issue with the article is that it does not provide space to challenge or raise skepticism around Israel’s claim that the IDF only targets buildings used by the resistance in Lebanon. Continue reading
