"This article contains glaring inaccuracies. First, you seem not to acknowledge Palestinian deaths as deaths. You write: “The surprise weekend attack by Hamas left a death toll unseen since the 1973 war with Egypt and Syria,” you write. That is true only if Israelis alone count as part of the 'death toll'." Continue reading

"Palestinian life is life, too, and your suggestion that this is “the worst massacre of civilians in Israel’s history” eclipses many Israeli historical events with higher Palestinian death tolls. Supposing that it is life that you value, and not just the lives on one side or the other, equal attention to those whom Israel kills ought really to change your tone." Continue reading

"This segment is inaccurate and literally uses footage from the wrong demonstration. You estimate the number of participants at the Palestine demonstration in the dozens. This is false. TVA, which was actually present at the demonstration in question, showed video clarifying that there were in fact several hundred demonstrators at the Palestine rally." Continue reading

Continue reading

"Gallant’s statement is pregnant with significance and intent.  As you may know, such dehumanizing language is often a precursor to literal genocidal, and CBC and the Associated Press should NOT have self-censored this language from its coverage.  I insist, therefore, that you incorporate this quote, and highlight the appalling implications for Palestinians."   Continue reading

"Such a misrepresentation violates basic journalistic principles and deserves clarification in a forthcoming print edition of the paper." Continue reading

"I was pleased to see you included the reaction of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, which asks for the government to join calls for  a ceasefire. CJPME has made the connection between the escalating violence and the occupation and calls for an end to the 'daily, brutal violence of Israel’s military occupation'." Continue reading

"This is an important breaking story to cover, but the CBC and Reuters must acknowledge this core contextual information.  When two parties to the conflict specifically cite this context, your failure to do so is a reflection of lazy journalism." Continue reading
