Thanks for shedding light on how Israel‘s actions harm its own people

"Your article offers a fresh perspective that is often absent in many Canadian news outlets: shedding light on the true nature of antisemitism and the paradox of those who claim to support Israel while harboring antisemitic beliefs." Continue reading

 

Recent article doesn't contextualize the Houthis and their motivations

"The Houthis have launched these attacks in staunch opposition to Israel’s military operations in Gaza, which have killed close to 30,000 people in four months, according to Al Jazeera. Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi official, has repeatedly stated that their military operations against ships in the Red Sea will 'stop immediately and without conditions' when the 'aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted'."

Article about ‘panic buttons’ portrays pro-Palestine protestors as ‘dangerous’

"I counted six specific examples of supposed harassment, three of which were pro-Palestinian protestors. Why is there a disproportionate number of examples involving these types of protests? Further, some of the examples of actions perpetrated by “pro-Palestine protestors” are perfectly reasonable, peaceful forms of protest that you frame as violent or dangerous." Continue reading

 

Article fails to give the same level of importance to anti-Muslim hate crimes as antisemitic ones

"Overall, your article lacks balance and impartiality. Your article gives hugely disproportionately more space and importance to antisemitic hate crimes than it does to Islamophobic ones. Good Journalism is based on fairness and balance, and this article fails to uphold even this most basic journalistic principle." Continue reading

 

Correction needed to specify that 300 mosques called for a ceasefire; not "several"

"It is inaccurate and undermining to write “several local congregations.” This makes it seem like the call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the demand for the restoration of funding for the UN’s aid agency, and the condemnation of Israel’s war crimes came from a small number of people and was unpopular, which is not the case."

Thanks for highlighting the link between Indigenous and Palestinian liberation

"With Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the media’s unfair, biased reporting, reminders to humanize Palestinians and other marginalized perspectives are more critical than ever before." Continue reading

 

Op-Ed includes ill-intentioned picture of pro-Palestinian protestors

"Contrasted with the photo of an indoor interfaith meeting from Rabbi Wise himself, the photo seems intended to project xenophobia and fanaticism. This is highly inappropriate and deliberately misleading on the part of the Spec." Continue reading

 

Thanks for highlighting the testimonies that refute Israeli military & government claims

"Your article was particularly refreshing because every statement by the IDF was followed or preceded by a Palestinian testimony, which demonstrates proper media skepticism of the official Israeli government line. In many cases, Canadian media fail to question Israeli government/military allegations and explanations, even when there is available solid evidence refuting them." Continue reading

 

Article conflates Israel and Egypt’s reasons for not allowing Palestinians out of Gaza

"Given that allowing the mass influx of Palestinians from Gaza into Egypt could assist in Israel’s forced displacement and, thus, ethnic cleansing of the population, Egypt’s motivations for rigid border control could not be more different than Israel’s genocidal ones. History has shown that Israel has prevented Palestinians from returning to their land, so Egypt is necessarily treading carefully." Continue reading

 

Article exemplifies double standard by calling Hamas attacks acts of terrorism, but not Israel‘s

"Given that Hamas targeted military personnel and infrastructure on Oct. 7, only a portion of their attacks can be broadly classified as 'terrorism'." Continue reading
