"Mr. Dhaliwal’s article inadvertently highlights the effectiveness of MAP’s work. He directly copies and pastes quotes from our media alert into his piece, proving that Rebel News is paying attention to our efforts whether their team admits it or not." Continue reading

"This framing uncritically repeats the Israeli military’s narrative of a counterterrorism operation without questioning its proportionality or compliance with international law. For instance, the article whitewashes the Israeli military’s actions by blindly repeating their justifications for “raids” through the claim that they are targeting "militants" despite there being supporting evidence indicating otherwise. Furthermore, the article barely includes any Palestinian perspectives which contributes to this one-sided reporting that heavily relies on the claims made by an occupying force." Continue reading

"HRC is far from neutral. Journalists who report factually on Israel—or anyone critical of Israel’s ongoing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip, its apartheid policies, settler violence in the occupied West Bank, or raids on Palestinian territories—are often targeted by HRC’s intimidation tactics and smear campaigns."

"To anyone with a moral compass the situation is crystal clear – there is nothing on this earth that justifies this behaviour. Wiseman tries to invert this reality and in the process has damaged The Hill Times’ credibility. Such hateful rhetoric does not deserve to be published by a reputable paper." Continue reading

"As a public broadcaster, Global News has a duty to provide fair, accurate, and thorough reporting. Reducing the suffering of Palestinian civilians to footnotes for your news anchor while whitewashing Israeli narratives betrays this responsibility. The situations in Gaza and the West Bank demand nuanced and extensive coverage." Continue reading

"The article effectively highlighted the troubling double standard: why are symbols like the Pride flag and the Star of David permitted, while a simple watermelon pin—widely recognized as a symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance—is not allowed?" Continue reading

"As a public broadcaster, CityNews has a responsibility to provide fair, accurate, and comprehensive reporting. For future coverage, I demand that you include detailed accounts of the devastating impacts these raids have on Palestinian civilians. You must also provide balanced reporting that critically examines claims made by the Israeli military and include Palestinian voices." Continue reading

"The usage of “captured” vs occupied misleads readers into thinking that Israel has a strong claim to, or ownership of, Palestinian territories – which is blatantly not the case. Palestinians are the indigenous peoples of this land – and media outlets should not be complicit in enabling the kind of language that normalizes Israel’s illegal ongoing colonization process."

"While I believe it is important to report on the activities of Islamic fundamentalist groups and their activities in Canada, the language and framing by Postmedia outlets in their non-stop coverage of Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) misrepresents the group and presents a misrepresentative picture and an Islamophobic narrative that generalizes political Islamic theoretical discourse as inherently extremist, which is not always the case."

"As said by the late Malcolm X, whose philosophy inspires me deeply: “So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.” Guided by his call to speak out, I raise my voice now out of profound frustration with media outlets such as the CBC that fail to hold Israel accountable. This lack of accountability is evident in your headline that uses language that does not mention Israel as the Zionist entity committing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip."
