Thanks for offering a range of perspectives on the genocide in Gaza

"Please continue to publish interviews and articles that offer a range of perspectives on what has become a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This time in history will be a black mark on the international community when we look back in the years to come." Continue reading

 

Numerous false claims in recent op-ed require correction or clarifcation

"Third, Hamas has not diverted “hundreds of billions of dollars in international aid to build” military installations. There is no evidence to support this wild figure. This is a pure fabrication. If I am wrong, please provide clear evidence to support the assertion." Continue reading

 

Article about the March 30 pro-Palestine protest in Toronto fails to include voices from protesters and organizers

"It is your journalistic obligation to include voices from the protesters and organizers themselves to balance the record. Please include voices from protesters, PYM, and Jews Say No To Genocide and shed light on the issue of Canada’s police brutality." Continue reading

 

For Global News, the burden of proof falls on everyone but Israel

"I find it puzzling and deeply disturbing that Global News could, in good conscience, piece together a news segment that goes from footage of a battered, hollowed, and burned Al-Shifa hospital to Israeli army footage of their justification for their attacks: three guns scattered on the floor." Continue reading

 

Police officers didn't just "push" protestors, they were kneeling on their necks

"Though these cases of indiscriminate police brutality are well-documented and widely accessible, CP24 settles for the word “pushing” to describe police actions. This works to conceal and undermine the police brutality protestors have alleged. Please adjust your wording to ensure a precise description of the video evidence." Continue reading

 

Correction needed to clarify that Israel has effective control over Gaza

"Put like this, readers could easily assume it is Hamas who is solely responsible for the lack of freedom instead of Israel, which is misleading and false. As I mentioned above, Israel is considered an occupying power under international law, and it has effective control over Gaza. As such, reporting needs to be clear and leave no doubt as to which party is responsible." Continue reading

 

Thanks for showing the depth of the suffering & losses that Palestinians are experiencing

"Thank you again for a well-researched and informative article. It demonstrated the depth of the suffering and losses that Palestinians are experiencing - losses that extend beyond the physical loss of life and property." Continue reading

 

Uncorroborated claim that Gaza limits access to journalists

"Journalism permits for Gaza are granted by Israel, and Hamas secondarily can grant its own permit to journalists. Israel has blocked journalists from entering Gaza, not Hamas. The article you link to does not substantiate the claim you are making." Continue reading

 

Factual errors in recent article about Oct.7 attack by Hamas need to be corrected

"You report that 300 Israeli citizens were taken hostage. According to the Israeli army, “the number of captives is 240,” so writing “300” is not supported by any other available sources. Like my point above, not all of those who were taken captive by Hamas were Israeli civilians. The captives include Israeli soldiers, civilians, and foreigners. Please correct this factual error and clarify your language to avoid implying that all those taken captive were civilians." Continue reading

 

Thanks for exposing the double standard that applies to those advocating for Palestinian human rights

"Thank you for also pointing out that not only Dr. Thomson's but many other voices for Palestine are being stifled by institutions. I was especially pleased to see the link to your November 24, 2023 article, " A chill has crept into Ontario's health sector..." We can still ask the same question you asked then: "" In what world are doctors saying "stop killing" or "don't bomb hospitals" contradicting their professional, moral, or ethical obligations?" " Continue reading
