Correction needed to add a critical perspective regarding the issue of air-dropping aid to Gaza

"While your article is about Canada considering following suit with countries like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and air-dropping aid to Gaza, you do not bring any skepticism to the discussion around such a decision." Continue reading

 

Thanks for reporting on anti-Palestinian racism and PYM‘s Work

"Too often, Palestinian activism is either ignored or misrepresented by mainstream media outlets, which ultimately impedes the delivery of objective news to viewers. Your efforts contribute to more balanced and nuanced reporting of Palestinian solidarity." Continue reading

 

G&M publishes an AP article online but fails to do so in print

"I was disappointed to realize that you covered this story by choosing to publish an article from a wire news service instead of asking your staff members to write an article about it." Continue reading

 

Thank you for reporting on the under-reporting of Islamophobia

"To read about an app that was intentionally designed as a tool to report incidents of Islamophobia anonymously to the NCCM was incredibly refreshing and reassuring. The infrastructure for reporting antisemitism is relatively well-developed and robust because of the wide range of Canadian civil society and lobbying groups dedicated to this cause. Self-reporting methods for victims of Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism are far less developed, however." Continue reading

 

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

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." Continue reading

 

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
