Your editorial on antisemitism

"Are your editors aware that protests at synagogues have not targeted worship services, but instead real estate fairs for property in the occupied West Bank as well as talks by Israeli soldiers who have served in Gaza?

National Post article slanders pro-Palestine protest at Saint John festival

This National Post article uses inflammatory and misleading language to smear Palestinian protesters at Saint John’s Culturefest. The piece frames the demonstration as an antisemitic attack, erases its political context, and presents unverified allegations as fact. Such coverage perpetuates anti-Palestinian racism and silences Palestinian voices in Canada. Continue reading

 

Appreciation + skepticism around unverified Israeli claims

"The headline would be more accurate and fair if it specified that the 5 journalists killed were Palestinian journalists. Otherwise, the omission risks feeding into the broader pattern of erasing Palestinian identity in Canadian media coverage." Continue reading
