Figures released by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) show that Israel has committed thousands of ceasefire violations since its implementation, among them over 2,000 armed assaults and nearly 6,000 breaches of Lebanese airspace north of the Blue Line since November 2024.  Continue reading

 

Constructive feedback on article by Mark Ramzy

They are fundamentally Zionist organizations that support Israel, and many Canadians, including Palestine solidarity activists, view them as part of the broader pro-Israel lobby in Canada, and generally aligned with CIJA, even if they have specific policy disagreements. Continue reading

 

Concern regarding article on Israel’s bill to annex occupied West Bank

By framing the story as a diplomatic disagreement between U.S. and Israeli officials, AP and therefore CTV removed the onus of attention from the most important fact: the annexation vote is part of an ongoing pattern of illegal settlement expansion and de facto annexation of the Palestinian territories.  Continue reading

 

Biased reporting justifies Israel’s violations of ceasefire agreement

Your article provides eight instances of Israeli denials of violations, giving a platform to an accused criminal state to defend itself at great length. Meanwhile, it provides little detail on the extensive evidence of war crimes and the "catastrophic conditions" that led the UN's top court to issue its ruling. Continue reading

 

Hateful framing of Palestinian suffering & accuracy issues in op-ed

Rather, Israel inflicted a well-documented mass displacement and dispossession of more than 700,000 Palestinians starting in 1948, and has continued with illegal settlements, evictions, land confiscation, home demolitions and deadly settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, along with many other ongoing injustices suffered by Palestinians due to Israel’s illegal, military occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.

Feedback on article about release of Palestinian detainees

Ms. Look’s statement referencing murder and Allah is Islamaphobia and has no place in the article. Even in the context of opinion, including it violates CAJ’s principles of impartial and fair reporting. It adds nothing to the argument other than fanning the flames of hatred against an increasingly marginalized group. Continue reading

 

Gwyn Morgan's piece on Israel

If the Financial Post purports to be a serious media outlet, then it should immediately withdraw this shameless, paint-by-numbers recitation of the canon of fact-free hasbara repeated by propagandists for almost 80 years. Any media outlet worthy of the name must have a non-negotiable policy of printing only the truth. It should also give voice to Palestinians, who have endured unimaginable suffering for generations, so as to give Western audiences a dose of reality that they so desperately need. Continue reading
