"Israel, good. Left, bad. Multiculturalism, dangerous. You get the idea. It epitomizes the partisanship so prevalent in our society, a polarization that depends on the disposal of critical thought. While this screed may appear more elegant than those echoing on anonymous internet forums, it is not much different." Continue reading

"By excluding any information that may have given merit to some of the criticism made against Mayor Levi, readers are given an incomplete story that favours Israel. Please link readers to Levi’s Facebook profile and include the mayor’s most recent policy proposals to make your coverage of this issue more balanced." Continue reading

"In the first part of your article you reproduce statements from almost exclusively Israeli sources without attempting to analyze or contextualize and make the connections with the second part, in which you list applicable excerpts from the Geneva Convention. You leave it to the reader to make these connections."

"That is why I suggest adding the number of Palestinian casualties since October 7, as it would be a form of dehumanization not only to Palestinians but to Muslims to exclude them. It would also make the more sense to include this data as this is the point you are trying to make in your article: to fight hate in all its forms."

"I insist that you include a reference to the fact that the ICJ has ruled that South Africa’s contention that Israel is committing genocide is plausible and that Israel has a duty to do more to prevent genocide in Gaza. Please add this important context when speaking about Israel’s attacks on Palestine." Continue reading

"Mansour Shouman’s case has been relatively well-documented, yet this article omits key details, like his role as a citizen journalist and eyewitness accounts of Shouman being arrested by the IDF, as reported by CTV News." Continue reading

"Despite Mr Augustein’s plea for more allies to join the Netanyahu, Zionist-led, right-wing government of the State of Israel in its continued occupation and obliteration of Palestine, our common plea must be for breaking these cycles of abuse. As the famous Jewish American Albert Einstein said ‘peace cannot be achieved by force only by understanding’." Continue reading

"This is such a bold and extraordinary claim, which Marie Woolf has editorialized in an even more sensationalist fashion, that readers deserve more information. While such a thing may have been said, and ought to be condemned if it was, to make this particularly hateful phrase seem like part of some pro-Hamas movement is a spectacular claim for a serious journalist to make."
