"As Sarah Jama points out, there was nothing wrong with her statement calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and the end to all occupation of Palestinian land. This statement is in line with members of the international community, including the UN, which has been calling for a ceasefire since October 7, and human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International, that you mention, that recognize Israel as an apartheid state."

"Your article only gives voice to Henry Topas, Quebec's regional director of B'nai Brith and a Jewish student, without giving voice to other critical pro-Palestinian voices or perspectives and students who voted for this pro-Palestine policy." Continue reading

"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.

"It is a critical point that should be included as these two concepts can get conflated. The confusion between these two terms only encourages Israel’s impunity for its policies and actions violating Palestinian human rights. Pro-Palestine supporters also face deep consequences, such as losing their jobs, being harassed online, censured, and physically injured." Continue reading

"As a daughter of immigrants who came to Canada and a Canadian by birth, our loyalty to Canada is our duty to call out our government when it is wrong, has failed to live up to its standards, and enact better policies, which include its international affairs, in the hope of getting it to change to be better."

"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
