Serious debate from both-sides ought to be centered on how we can implement a two-way arms embargo and prevent further bloodshed by ending direct sales, closing these legal loopholes, and cutting ties with the war machine that is Israel’s defense technology. Continue reading

Joel Gotlib has repeatedly published and shared explicitly pro-Israel content on his social media pages. To be clear, this is not even run-of-the-mill pro-Israel content, much of it contains blatant anti-Palestinian racism. At the end of this letter is an appendix with some posts Gotlib made. In the section at the end of the letter, I do not include countless profoundly anti-Palestinian, racist posts that Gotlib shared from other accounts spreading demonstrably false misinformation, like the “beheaded babies” myth. Gotlib’s posts and re-shares can be seen by Global on his X account and Instagram account. Continue reading

While the article claims “some” of Michael Janz's “recent posts” are “misinformation that could be harmful,” there is only one such post whose factual veracity is in question. It is our understanding that the post is inaccurate, but it is Global’s journalistic responsibility to explain why and make clear what is true. Continue reading

The framework also grants Israel the right to attack with the approval of the Lebanese government if Israel assesses there are “hostile intentions” or a risk of imminent threat approaching them. The agreement as well stipulates that Israel will not be pursued for crimes it has committed in the past or may commit in the future. Continue reading

Virtually the entire segment is based on an unsourced claim regarding a supposed Israeli intelligence report on an alleged Iranian assassination plot against U.S. President Donald Trump.

"Coverage of these events too often relies on passive or agent-less constructions, such as '10 killed in strikes,' that leave readers unsure of who acted and who was harmed. Your headline does neither. It states plainly who carried out the strike and identifies those killed as Palestinian, giving readers an accurate starting point for understanding the story." Continue reading

Take as well the alleged sexual assault claims where Israeli officials circulated the unsubstantiated claims that Hamas fighters raped women on October 7th, which again were repeated in almost every single mainstream media headline and were uncritically echoed by President Biden who repeated them on national television.  Continue reading

It begs the question, could CTV not have found a neutral and credible expert to interview or did they choose Mr. Varner specifically for his known anti-Iran views, which are also Israel’s? Continue reading

The attack on the visibly Muslim woman in 2024 was alarming in that it is clearly part of a growing rise in anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim  incidents since October 7, 2023. For that reason, we would have appreciated if the 2024 attack was referenced as anti-Muslim or anti-Palestinian raciism earlier in your article rather than relegating it to the very end of the article.
