"With Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the media’s unfair, biased reporting, reminders to humanize Palestinians and other marginalized perspectives are more critical than ever before." Continue reading

"Contrasted with the photo of an indoor interfaith meeting from Rabbi Wise himself, the photo seems intended to project xenophobia and fanaticism. This is highly inappropriate and deliberately misleading on the part of the Spec." Continue reading

"Your article was particularly refreshing because every statement by the IDF was followed or preceded by a Palestinian testimony, which demonstrates proper media skepticism of the official Israeli government line. In many cases, Canadian media fail to question Israeli government/military allegations and explanations, even when there is available solid evidence refuting them." Continue reading

"Given that allowing the mass influx of Palestinians from Gaza into Egypt could assist in Israel’s forced displacement and, thus, ethnic cleansing of the population, Egypt’s motivations for rigid border control could not be more different than Israel’s genocidal ones.

"To many, Zionism, therefore, represents dispossession, apartheid, and genocide. Perhaps Barber needs to look at these long-standing injustices to understand why so many people today adopt the cause of anti-Zionism." Continue reading

"While you specify that Hamas launched an attack on Israel on Oct. 7, you simply state that there was a subsequent “Israel-Gaza War.” What about Israel’s brutal, largely one-sided attack on Palestinians in Gaza?" Continue reading
