Thank you + misleading framing of Honest Reporting Canada

"HRC is far from neutral. Journalists who report factually on Israel—or anyone critical of Israel’s ongoing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip, its apartheid policies, settler violence in the occupied West Bank, or raids on Palestinian territories—are often targeted by HRC’s intimidation tactics and smear campaigns."

Re: “Canada in the world and the war in Gaza”

"To anyone with a moral compass the situation is crystal clear – there is nothing on this earth that justifies this behaviour. Wiseman tries to invert this reality and in the process has damaged The Hill Times’ credibility. Such hateful rhetoric does not deserve to be published by a reputable paper." Continue reading

 

Poor coverage of the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip

"As a public broadcaster, Global News has a duty to provide fair, accurate, and thorough reporting. Reducing the suffering of Palestinian civilians to footnotes for your news anchor while whitewashing Israeli narratives betrays this responsibility. The situations in Gaza and the West Bank demand nuanced and extensive coverage." Continue reading

 

Thanks for exposing Vancouver Public Library's discriminatory policy on Palestinian symbols

"The article effectively highlighted the troubling double standard: why are symbols like the Pride flag and the Star of David permitted, while a simple watermelon pin—widely recognized as a symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance—is not allowed?" Continue reading

 

Poor coverage of Israel's raids in the West Bank

"As a public broadcaster, CityNews has a responsibility to provide fair, accurate, and comprehensive reporting. For future coverage, I demand that you include detailed accounts of the devastating impacts these raids have on Palestinian civilians. You must also provide balanced reporting that critically examines claims made by the Israeli military and include Palestinian voices." Continue reading

 

Palestinian territories are illegally "occupied" - not "captured" by Israel !

"The usage of “captured” vs occupied misleads readers into thinking that Israel has a strong claim to, or ownership of, Palestinian territories – which is blatantly not the case. Palestinians are the indigenous peoples of this land – and media outlets should not be complicit in enabling the kind of language that normalizes Israel’s illegal ongoing colonization process."

Enough with the thinly veiled islamophobia

"While I believe it is important to report on the activities of Islamic fundamentalist groups and their activities in Canada, the language and framing by Postmedia outlets in their non-stop coverage of Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) misrepresents the group and presents a misrepresentative picture and an Islamophobic narrative that generalizes political Islamic theoretical discourse as inherently extremist, which is not always the case." Continue reading

 

Article absolves Israel of waging a genocide in occupied Gaza

"As said by the late Malcolm X, whose philosophy inspires me deeply: “So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.” Guided by his call to speak out, I raise my voice now out of profound frustration with media outlets such as the CBC that fail to hold Israel accountable. This lack of accountability is evident in your headline that uses language that does not mention Israel as the Zionist entity committing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip." Continue reading

 

Article highlights fringe groups fueling Islamophobic narratives

"To equate HT’s ideology with violent extremism not only misrepresents their stated principles but undermines the credibility of your reporting. Such framing conflates peaceful political advocacy with terrorism, perpetuating sensationalism over substance. If we are to foster informed and meaningful public discourse, accuracy and nuance must take precedence over fear mongering rhetoric." Continue reading

 

Solidarity from CJPME MAP team to Concordia’s independent student advoacy paper

"This is particularly concerning given the context of heightened tensions and the potential chilling effect this may have on students expressing solidarity with Palestine. By exposing this matter, The Link has done an invaluable service to transparency, accountability, and the protection of students' rights to freedom of expression." Continue reading
