Insensitive article absolves Israel of any responsibility

"Several components of this article are offensive. To say that the war that began on Oct. 7 has “reportedly claimed more than 25,000 lives” is incredibly misleading." Continue reading

 

Correction needed to contextualize the under-reporting of anti-Palestinian hate crimes

"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.

Thanks for inviting Palestinian-Canadian Maryam Nasser to your show

Article misrepresents the intentions of pro-Palestine campus protests

"This chant is not hate speech or a call to hate crime.
