Please continue to amplify Palestinian and pro-Palestinian voices with your readers, especially at a time where coverage on Palestine has considerably decreased since the so-called ceasefire was announced on October 10, 2025.   Continue reading

"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."

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.

We expect these considerations to be taken into account in future reporting, even when it comes to reporting coming from news agencies : that Palestinians perspectives should be included  so the reporting is impartial and to add more context when it comes to an occupation power that doesn't just kill Palestinians , but is also attempting to erase an entire civilization.   Continue reading

"The article closes with AP's boilerplate characterization of the Israeli attacks as 'retaliatory.' The ethnic cleansing, genocide and violence against Palestinians has been ongoing for nearly 75 years. It did not begin in October 2023." Continue reading

In Gaza, Israel continues to bomb Palestinians. In Lebanon, it continues its shelling, burning of agricultural land and homes, and heavy drone activity. In Iran, the US and Israel are restarting their destructive campaign. Canada has done too little to uphold its commitments to international law amidst Israel’s violence.    Continue reading

It is my understanding that AI usage must be disclosed when used for articles in the Globe and Mail. I fear that may not have happened in this case, and that there are strong indicators it should have. Continue reading
