That said, I’d like to raise a concern that echoes a point made by Palestinian writer Mohammed El-Kurd, from occupied Jerusalem, in Perfect Victims and the Politics of Appeal. He writes, “correspondents kill us with passive voice… they never mention the culprit, let alone condemn the culprit.” Continue reading

"As early as 2024, Israeli intelligence agencies have said they consider the numbers reported by the Gaza Health Ministry "generally accurate" and use them internally. Why is that fact left out of your otherwise excellent article?" Continue reading

"Over the past 20 months of genocide Israel has been caught out in countless lies. This is so well documented that all Israeli claims should be delivered with skepticism and be challenged. Anything less is sloppy journalism. There should also be a Palestinian voice in all such stories. This is a “conflict” so there are at least two sides, but we so often hear only one."

Without this context your article insinuates that the protests were against Jewish people and the Jewish state; in short, antisemitic, which they absolutely were not." Continue reading

"Your coverage also neglects to contextualize Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza, which has killed over 54,000 Palestinians, as part of a broader pattern of systematic violence and collective punishment. The CAJ’s guidelines emphasize the importance of avoiding passive language that obscures responsibility, yet the article repeatedly does so." Continue reading

"Once again, I thank you for publishing this article, and I encourage the CBC to continue to highlight the horrific impacts of Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza on Palestinians, as we work to collectively draw attention to voices, perspectives and movements that are often sidelined in Canadian mainstream media." Continue reading

"In fact, conflating legitimate criticism of Israel—an apartheid state and occupying power currently waging an ongoing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip—with antisemitism is itself a form of antisemitism, as it erases the distinction between a political ideology and Jewish identity."
