"Whether this is a deliberate exclusion, or the result of inadequate research, it is poor journalism. This article is misleading as written and must be edited immediately to maintain minimum standards of objectivity." Continue reading

"The term “gun battles” suggests a firefight involving only small arms, which downplays the power imbalance between Israel, an occupying power, and Palestinians, an occupied people who has the right to resist under international law. The context of the conflict within the Gaza Strip involved a mix of urban warfare,  guerrilla tactics, and rocket fire." Continue reading

"The article's framing is problematic the Associated Press absolves Israel of its responsibility for killing some of its own citizens in Gaza and obscuring an important part of this story. This context should be added, as it provides a more balanced and thorough understanding of Israel’s military invasions in Gaza. Israel’s tactics have not only been condemned by parties concerned about genocide, but also by the families of hostages concerned about their relatives being killed due to the dangerous tactics employed by Israel’s military."

"CJPME demands that reporting on pro-Palestinian protesters by the CBC does not dehumanize them in the process. Mr. Fraser’s report should make it clear that the attack by the counter-protester was unjustified. His use of force is a clear act against freedom of speech and a threat to all Canadians who want to exercise their inherent right to voice their opinion." Continue reading

"Using the term “patient” to refer to Palestinians who were forcibly taken captive and subsequently treated for injuries is a dangerous euphemism that obfuscates the fact that Israel is 1) holding these individuals captive and wrongfully detaining them and 2) “treating” injuries the Israeli military as almost certainly inflicted."

"AP is quick to label unconfirmed cases of chants calling for “death to Jews” as antisemitic, but will only refer to extremist Israelis chanting “death to Arabs” as nationalists or ultranationalists." Continue reading

"Since Palestinians could not show and express their nationalism through flag raising, watermelon became a more subversive method because it used colors reminiscent of the Palestinian flag. The same logic can be applied to people using the inverted red triangle." Continue reading

"The numbers you cite are based on B’nai Brith’s annual antisemitism report, which conflates antisemitic incidents with pro-Palestine advocacy. This is a yearly issue, and yet the report is treated as a reliable source. While B’nai Brith keeps the vast majority of the data private, so it cannot be independently verified, some examples they give in their brief public report indicate the numbers do not represent what most Canadians consider antisemitic acts." Continue reading

"Editing this segment would be ideal to attribute the suffering of the family that was “forced to bribe their way out of Gaza” to Israel’s military onslaught, and not an ambiguous “conflict” or “war-torn Gaza.” Otherwise, this segment is incredibly delusive. Since CBC has rarely edited news segments in response to criticism, I will instead request The National team to consider this critique in future coverage." Continue reading

"In articles related to Israel's current military assault on Gaza, it is paramount to include Palestinian or pro-Palestinian perspectives. Perhaps a testimony explaining the weight of Israel's most recent series of genocidal attacks on Rafah would be appropriate as the "vandalism" you've based your piece off of clearly alludes to Rafah."
