"The most important weapon any nation possesses is its conscious, educated youth—those who will ultimately rebuild and lead it. We saw this reflected in the unprecedented university encampments that began at Columbia University in New York City last year—a mass uprising of the next generation rejecting their universities’ complicity with Israel’s genocide against Palestinians — and sending a clear message to their administrations: you do not dictate who lives and who doesn’t."

"The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered the Israeli government to ensure the “unimpeded access to humanitarian assistance” to Palestinians in Gaza, well over one year ago. Israel’s use of starvation as a method of warfare amounts to collective punishment, which is prohibited under the Fourth Geneva Convention." Continue reading

CJPME joins students, educators, and civil rights advocates in demanding Dery's resignation. Censuring education and awareness around Palestinian perspectives has no place in a free and democratic education system. Continue reading

"Since Mr. Brown’s article, CBC has—as far as I can tell—carefully avoided this unfair language by avoiding referring to Palestinians in administrative detention as “prisoners,” and from not referring to Israelis, especially soldiers, as “hostages.” Whether this is an official policy of CBC or a common practice by editors is impossible for me to know. Nonetheless, this AP article in question perpetuates the exact problem that Mr. Brown so succinctly identified." Continue reading

"Such unbalanced journalistic framing exposes the hypocrisy of Western media and governments - offering performative nods to international law and human rights while actively enabling Israel's unimpeded commission of war crimes and collective punishment against Palestinians." Continue reading

"This type of selective reporting is a microcosm of what Mohammed El-Kurd calls “the politics of appeal” — the notion that Palestinians must be portrayed as “perfect victims,” such as children, to elicit sympathy. It implies that the deaths of Palestinian adults — women and men — are somehow less tragic, less newsworthy." Continue reading

"Thank you for publishing an opinion piece that provided context that readers typically don’t see in reports and articles in the Canadian media. For example, the Palestinian death toll, the investigation by the ICJ in examining Israel’s role in committing genocide and the illegal occupation that Palestinians have been enduring for 77 years."

"It aligns with a long-standing pattern in Western media that fragments Palestinian identity into “Gazan,” “West Banker,” or “Arab-Israeli,” while deliberately avoiding the term Palestinian. Such erasure is not accidental; it reflects and normalizes a colonial narrative that fragments Palestinian identity and treats Palestinians as stateless, nameless, and ahistorical."

While Dyer rightly notes the strategic logic of asymmetric warfare, framing groups like Hamas or Kashmiri militants as having “triggered” war risks obscuring the long-standing conditions of structural violence (mass surveillance, apartheid, crushing of political autonomy) that shape their right to resist.

Rather than stating the legal fact — that under international law, East Jerusalem is unequivocally recognized as occupied Palestinian territory — the article resorts to the misleading euphemism that Israel “captured” East Jerusalem, deliberately evading the legally accurate term “occupied.” Continue reading
