"My primary concern is the overall lack of skepticism regarding the numerous claims made by the university administration and McGill’s President and Vice-Chancellor Deep Saini. I take issue with the assertions that the students were violent, that “most of the people there were not students,” and that there had been overdoses and illegal drug use at the camp."

"Geist touts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, but fails to mention that this definition recklessly conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Other definitions of antisemitism – the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism, for example – define antisemitism while still leaving space for critics of Israel to condemn its war crimes and apartheid."

«L’appel au boycottage des restaurants est présenté comme le résultat d’antisémitisme plutôt que le résultat de leur position pro-israélienne.»  Continue reading

"With all due respect Mr. Blaff, your article should be labeled as an opinion piece. The entire article is a transcript that regurgitates Mr. Levy’s talking points without any actual reporting, skepticism, or critical analysis. Mr. Levy, a former Israeli government spokesperson, has an obvious vested interest in spreading anti-Palestinian rhetoric. Interviewing someone who has called pro-Palestinian demonstrators 'rape apologists' makes me question the LFP’s journalistic integrity, and its adherence to the journalistic standards defined by the CAJ."

"I’ve consistently provided The Associated Press with this type of feedback since January 2024. I’ve emailed a total of 75 letters to a range of journalists and editors at AP. In all of these letters, I’ve laid out well-researched and thorough arguments explaining how they’ve violated basic journalistic standards, as well as recommended edits. Despite this consistent feedback, The Associated Press has not replied to a single one of my letters. This lack of responsiveness and accountability demonstrates that AP has closed itself off to meaningful dialogue with its readers." Continue reading

"Journalistic accuracy depends on clearly differentiating between assertions and facts. If an assertion has not been independently verified, journalistic integrity demands it be reported as the spokesperson’s opinion or perspective, rather than as an established fact. Bearing this in mind, while Palestinian accounts are often questioned, Israel's apartheid regime is frequently regarded as credible and reliable." Continue reading

"It is unfair to describe this person as a protester as they don’t seem to be related to the pro-Palestine protesters. In the video, they are told by pro-Palestine protesters to stop, and pro-Palestine protesters are seen trying to usher them away. They don’t seem to be affiliated with any side, and it is most likely a case of a racist agitator wanting to cast a bad light on the pro-Palestine protesters’ side." Continue reading

"While I am not here to argue how Housefather must have felt seeing this poster, it is inaccurate and unfair to report it as an antisemitic incident. To further your framing of this incident as antisemitic, you fail to fully quote his response to the poster and exclude the part where Housefather explicitly writes on social media that he “will keep being a proud Jew and a Zionist.” While the poster clearly condemned Housefather for his Zionist (not Jewish) ideology, Housefather’s response on social media demonstrates his tendency to deflect any legitimate criticism by deeming it as antisemitic."

"Throughout the segment, the various hosts use the terms 'supporters of Israel' and 'Jewish teachers' interchangeably. These subtle word choices are dangerous, as they foster an association between antisemitism and anti-Zionism. I am confident that there are Jewish teachers and Jews more broadly who are in staunch opposition to Israel who would feel alienated by Global News’ characterization of Jewish people as 'supporters of Israel.'"

"To further their framing of this incident as antisemitic, the CBC fails to fully quote his response to the poster and exclude the part where Housefather explicitly writes that he “will keep being a proud Jew and a Zionist.” While the poster clearly condemned Housefather for his Zionist (not Jewish) ideology, Housefather’s response on social media demonstrates his tendency to deflect any legitimate criticism by deeming it as antisemitic."
