"Your article is biased as it only gives information about the Israel-based company, Zim Integrated Shipping Services, from the 1940s. Nothing is written about the company’s recent activities or even from 1948 and onwards. The protest is against the Zim of today, not of the 1940s. History matters, of course, but so does the context of the present situation." Continue reading

"Using the word Jerusalem without specifying if it is East or West Jerusalem adds fuel to the situation. While we still don’t know where the MPs went, it is highly probable that they went to East Jerusalem, as Marco Mendicino tweeted a picture of him in front of the Old City in East Jerusalem."

"While it is not my role to defend Mr. Zaarour — I do not know him nor am I familiar with his broader beliefs — I am concerned that the article obscures a couple of important aspects of the Instagram post." Continue reading

"I think that the genocide unfolding in Gaza is our wake-up call to stop seeing and expecting Canada to promote and enforce human rights and recognize and treat it as complicit in human rights abuses once and for all." Continue reading

"Failing to see it this way and waiting again to react by gathering academics, experts, and diaspora community members “once the war is over” would put us back in the same cycle of deliberately turning a blind eye to damning evidence." Continue reading

"I find it inappropriate to report the numbers of Israeli  dead in the first section of the article, while not giving the much larger Palestinian losses until the fourth section. One would expect to see these closer together unless the intention is to downplay the number of Palestinians killed." Continue reading

"There are nearly 7 million Palestinian refugees around the world today. They were not merely kicked to the “outskirts” of Palestine. Many were kicked entirely out of the territory and are stateless to this day. It is again alarming that this reality would be downplayed by insinuating that Palestinians were just displaced to the outskirts, just a little bit." Continue reading

"Parents would be able to identify with Ms Nassrawi, when she  tries to reassure the children with the pretense of a thunderstorm and earthquake. It reminds me of what one of the researchers for Defense for Children International Palestine (dci-Palestine) wrote: " give me another story to tell my children" .The thunderstorm story only goes so far."
