"To be frank with you, Mr. Blaff, this article isn’t journalism. It’s a hit piece against an NGO doing vital work within a conflict zone. Simply put, you are a mouthpiece for Israeli propaganda that dehumanizes Palestinians and pressures NGOs from distancing themselves from supporting Palestinians in Gaza." Continue reading

"First, you write that “student protesters at the University of Ottawa have cleared their encampment after more than two months of protesting the war in Gaza.” I take issue with your use of vague terms such as “war” instead of explicitly stating that Israel has been employing full-blown war tactics on Palestinians in Gaza, such as starvation, indiscriminate bombing of neighborhoods and hospitals, using Palestinians as human shields."

"After Haaretz released its damning report that the Israeli military ordered the Hannibal Directive on October 7, I anticipated, to a certain extent, that popular Canadian media would conveniently ignore these findings. Though I remain critical of the Toronto Star, I did not expect this outlet to fall into the disappointing and deep pool of Canadian media outlets engaging in this case of deliberate self-censorship."

Housefather’s tweet, including the picture of the poster you link, reads: “My family has been there since the 19th century, and we have indeed helped build this country. I am not going anywhere. Sorry antisemites. You may not like what I have to say but I will keep saying it and I will keep being a proud Jew and a Zionist.” Continue reading

"While I am not here to defend Brock University Sociology professor Tamari Kitossa and his writings, it is misleading to accuse him of antisemitism when the accusations stem from the “critics” whom you don’t correctly identify." Continue reading

"My primary concern is the overall lack of skepticism regarding the numerous claims made by the university administration and McGill’s President and Vice-Chancellor Deep Saini. I take issue with the assertions that the students were violent, that “most of the people there were not students,” and that there had been overdoses and illegal drug use at the camp."

"Geist touts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, but fails to mention that this definition recklessly conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Other definitions of antisemitism – the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism, for example – define antisemitism while still leaving space for critics of Israel to condemn its war crimes and apartheid."

«L’appel au boycottage des restaurants est présenté comme le résultat d’antisémitisme plutôt que le résultat de leur position pro-israélienne.»  Continue reading

"With all due respect Mr. Blaff, your article should be labeled as an opinion piece. The entire article is a transcript that regurgitates Mr. Levy’s talking points without any actual reporting, skepticism, or critical analysis. Mr. Levy, a former Israeli government spokesperson, has an obvious vested interest in spreading anti-Palestinian rhetoric. Interviewing someone who has called pro-Palestinian demonstrators 'rape apologists' makes me question the LFP’s journalistic integrity, and its adherence to the journalistic standards defined by the CAJ."

"I’ve consistently provided The Associated Press with this type of feedback since January 2024. I’ve emailed a total of 75 letters to a range of journalists and editors at AP. In all of these letters, I’ve laid out well-researched and thorough arguments explaining how they’ve violated basic journalistic standards, as well as recommended edits. Despite this consistent feedback, The Associated Press has not replied to a single one of my letters. This lack of responsiveness and accountability demonstrates that AP has closed itself off to meaningful dialogue with its readers." Continue reading
