Feedback regarding article on Netanyahu's speech at UN

September 21st article - Avi Lewis
"The definition of anti-semitism mentioned in the article is the IHRA definition which is highly problematic and contested, even by Jewish groups. This IHRA definition should be referenced with caution even though the Canadian government has adopted it for now. A more acceptable definition is the Jerusalem Declaration which is worth ingesting for future reference."

Glaring issues in Urback piece about Lewis merit corrective action
"CJPME calls on the Globe and Mail to grant a right-of-reply by publishing a counter-perspective or response letter to restore balance to this debate.

Formal Complaint concerning public posts made by Neil Herland

He noted that the speaker's 'speech was about making peace in the Middle East.' The truth is that Herland was on his way to the Meridian Arts Centre, which is visible in the video he shared, to see Mark Regev. Regev was not merely an Israeli ambassador, he also served in multiple high-ranking positions in the Israeli government, including as the Prime Minister's Senior Advisor for Foreign Affairs and International Communications and the International Spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office."

La réalité est plus compliquée que cela. Le stade où se produisait le concert, le stade Gillette, appartient à Robert Kraft, un milliardaire pro-israélien. Kraft est réputé pour ses dons aux lobbys pro-israéliens et son soutien d'Israël.
