"Writing that Palestine “was impoverished, had no industry and few prospects” and that “it was largely a desert” is not only offensive to the region’s indigenous inhabitants but factually incorrect." Continue reading

"Overall, your article provides very little critical analysis of the antisemitism report you describe in your story. It comes across as a platform for pro-Israel groups who want to undermine the credibility and character of people who support Palestinian liberation and criticize Israel." Continue reading

"The term “Arab Israelis” has been propagated by Israel to downplay the identity and indigeneity of Palestinians, thus constituting a form of anti-Palestinian racism. The term “Israeli Arab” was never chosen by the Palestinian people, and it doesn’t take into consideration their separate identity from Arabs as a whole." Continue reading

"Your Canadian readers need to see more articles that highlight the hardships caused by Israel’s violence against civilians in Gaza.  Interviewing Palestinians and prioritizing their testimonies and perspectives, as you have done in this article, is also essential. Please continue to do so." Continue reading

"Expressing sympathy for the legitimate hopes and aspirations of the Palestinians is not antisemitic.  Neither is opposing a brutal campaign of Israeli violence that has killed tens of thousands of civilians.  Nevertheless, your article is written a way that suggests that they are and gives a platform to Canada’s pro-Israel lobby’s outrageous claims."  Continue reading

"While I am glad that people are slowly waking up and not wanting to carry on a business-as-usual approach, I must say that I feel resentment that it took this long and an ICJ ruling just for us to be seen as credible interlocutors." Continue reading

"Your article fails to outline how and why her comments are particularly racist and harmful from the get-go. You only quote Naomi Klein and Hani Faris at the complete end of the article. It would be helpful for readers to move these paragraphs to place them under the first paragraph to further contextualize how Robinson’s comments are anti-Palestinian." Continue reading

"Her claim that the land was “crappy” and had “nothing on it” perpetuates a key feature of Zionist political discourse: asserting that Palestine was a “land without a People for a People without a Land” and, therefore, ideal for the creation of the state of Israel. I would recommend adding this information to your article, as it helps further contextualize how Robinson’s comments are anti-Palestinian." Continue reading

"I ask you to add mention of their statement and the reasons they chose this overpass: its proximity, high visibility, and sidewalks, which would be more complete and accurate. Good reporting on this issue would include this information and report on Pro-Palestine protests and intentions in a fair, complete, and accurate way."
