Using the words “retaliatory offensive” is irresponsible and grossly misleading. Killing 65,000 people and starving 2 million is not retaliatory. It is pure genocidal aggression and must be reported as such.  Continue reading

Overall, this was a great example of how Canadian media should approach Palestine coverage by presenting expert and contextualized analysis that challenges dominant narratives, illuminates the realities of Palestinians through the use of international law and human rights. Continue reading

References to Israel’s “divine decree” must therefore be contextualized with a Palestinian perspective: that such claims are used to justify the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the expansion of illegal Jewish settlements. Continue reading

It is right and proper to highlight the suffering that Israelis have suffered over the years and decades, including on October 7, but it is simply dishonest to suggest that there is any symmetry in what each population has inflicted upon the other. Continue reading

There is not a single mention of the designated terrorist groups actually operating inside of Canada and impacting the lives of Canadians, like the Proud Boys, Blood and Honour and Combat 18 — all white supremacist, neo-Nazi groups. Continue reading

"However, the use of “capturing” rather than “occupying” risks misleading readers into thinking that Israel has a legitimate claim to the Palestinian territories.

This wording is inaccurate and dehumanizing. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis released on August 22, 2025, makes clear that over half a million Palestinians in Gaza are experiencing famine. To describe this as occurring in “parts of Gaza” erases both the scale of the famine and the Palestinian identity. Continue reading

"Irresponsibly, the article then platforms Israel’s denial of its own actions, without providing essential context, in stating "Israel disputes the hunger fatality figures given by Gaza's Health Ministry, arguing that deaths were due to other medical causes." It is both unfair and inaccurate not to also mention that famine has been officially declared in Gaza, and there is ample evidence that people with underlying medical causes are the most susceptible to malnutrition and therefore among the first to die in a famine." Continue reading

It is widely accepted as fact within the humanitarian and human rights sectors, and it is the basis of the legal case against Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the arrest warrants against Netanyahu by the International Criminal Court (ICC). PCHR’s position is hardly unique, and it could not be further from “outlandish.” Continue reading
