"First, I note that your article does not provide a link to an account of Hamas attacking an aid convoy. If you have compelling, independent evidence of any such attack by Hamas, please provide a link for it. Otherwise, please remove the assertion as it would be inaccurate and/or unsupported."

"The headline and sentence use vague words, such as 'far-right' and 'sensitive,' to get around mentioning that Extremist Ben-Gvir stormed the holy site of Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Occupied Palestinian Territory of East Jerusalem." Continue reading

"The Lancet is a reputable medical journal that sets incredibly high standards for publishing. It has been cited by the Montreal Gazette twice in the past year, which speaks to the outlet’s perception of this medical journal as credible, reliable, and reportable. To refer to the findings as “controversial” seems out of place and inappropriate. Please remove the word “controversial” from your article. Further, your description of The Lancet’s findings is largely incomplete."

"By paraphrasing and softening the students’ language, you are whitewashing Israel’s war crimes and downplaying the students' demands. Your sentence should rather read, 'students for Justice in Palestine called on the U of M to boycott Israeli institutions, disclose its investments and divest from any organizations complicit in the genocide against Palestinian people...'."

"The Toronto Star’s decision to highlight a Hamas comment on the ceasefire talks, rather than 1) Israel’s devastating attack on civilians, 2) Israel’s decision to make an attack in a supposed “safe zone,” and 3) Israel’s false claim of having killed a Hamas leader, seems very suspect."

"I take foremost issue with your article giving overwhelmingly voice to Richard Marceau, vice president for the Centre of Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), Jaime Kirzner-Roberts, director of policy and advocacy at the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, and Richard Robertson, director for research and advocacy for B’nai Brith Canada, while you only briefly quote the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM)."

"First, you briefly mention one paragraph from the Al-Khair Foundation Statement that Mansour was an aid worker, then quickly pivot to the Israeli Army's unsubstantiated claims that “Mansour played a role in spreading violent activities throughout the Gaza Strip, and that Al-Khair Foundation 'transfers funds to terror organizations.” However, it is imperative to recognize that Israeli authorities have a notorious history of masking their war crimes and crimes against humanity through deceit, fabrications, and disinformation. Including Al-Khair Foundation’s heartfelt statement, which provides crucial context about Mansour's invaluable humanitarian work, would have offered a much-needed counterbalance to the Israeli Army’s narrative."

«Je tiens à saluer La Presse et Madame El-Ghadban pour avoir publié une lettre inspirante en soutien aux étudiants du campement de McGill et aux Palestiniens de Gaza. Le boycott des étudiants contre la complicité de l'Université McGill dans le génocide à Gaza est un effort important et admirable, malgré les difficultés auxquelles le campement a dû faire face.» Continue reading

"To be frank with you, Mr. Blaff, this article isn’t journalism. It’s a hit piece against an NGO doing vital work within a conflict zone. Simply put, you are a mouthpiece for Israeli propaganda that dehumanizes Palestinians and pressures NGOs from distancing themselves from supporting Palestinians in Gaza." Continue reading

"First, you write that “student protesters at the University of Ottawa have cleared their encampment after more than two months of protesting the war in Gaza.” I take issue with your use of vague terms such as “war” instead of explicitly stating that Israel has been employing full-blown war tactics on Palestinians in Gaza, such as starvation, indiscriminate bombing of neighborhoods and hospitals, using Palestinians as human shields."
