Thank you for basing your article off a detailed testimony provided by Dr. Yipeng Ge CBC News

"While the constant noise of drones and jets looming has had to be painfully accepted and normalized by Gazan civilians, those sounds have proven to be shocking, almost unbelievable, to visitors. To read about those small details that are particularly dehumanizing is helpful to understand the flagrant atrocity that is Israel’s occupation of Gaza." Continue reading

 

Thanks for highlighting the catastrophic scale of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza

"Although popular Canadian media has vaguely alluded to the rising levels of starvation in Gaza, Dalia Al Awqati provides the full breadth of context needed for an audience to know the full scale of starvation, dehydration, and malnutrition in Gaza, as well as Israel’s unilateral responsibility for these outcomes."

Recent article about Aaron Bushnell undermines his motivations for self-immolation

"Bushnell’s statements echo his message incredibly clearly: “I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all.” He yells, “Free Palestine,” until he falls to the ground, overcome by the flames."

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

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

"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

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'."
