"Malcolm X pointed out that law enforcement often serves to uphold the status quo and protect systems of power, rather than ensuring true safety and justice for individuals, especially those from marginalized communities. This reflection on institutional racism remains sadly relevant today, and your article courageously provided Bahnan with the platform to address the systemic issues surrounding police and to challenge the dangerous naivety in assuming that the police are always there to serve and protect, particularly marginalized communities."

"During the segment there was a locked off shot of a small area in Gaza with civilians circulating but no mention of the illegal siege, starvation or Palestinian babies freezing to death. This is also an important part of the story, if one is interested in the Palestinian perspective." Continue reading

"I was also disappointed that the news report failed to include any Palestinian voices or perspectives.. Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza have been directly impcted in every aspect of their lives as a result of the 15-month long genocide in Gaza. You can’t declare that you are presenting a balanced report on the ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire agreement if there is no opportunity for a Palestinian to express their opinion."

"Therefore, the use of terms like “terrorist hostages” to describe these detainees is deeply offensive and misleading, given that many are arrested for acts of political resistance or for no discernible reason beyond their identity. It is why readers deserve an explanation of why Smotrich’s language is racist and deflects criticism of Israeli apartheid. The Toronto Star needs to provide readers with this context."

"Amid relentless pressure from groups like Honest Reporting Canada, it is vital for CBC to uphold journalistic integrity and resist attempts to suppress important narratives. Standing firm on principles of fairness and accountability is essential to platform marginalized Palestinian voices and the growing Palestinian solidarity movement in Canada." Continue reading

"It is troubling that your article fails to highlight these crucial details, instead framing Dr. Diab’s situation in a way that reinforces unproven allegations through your clickbait headline and leading paragraph." Continue reading

"They don't have a problem with genocide, in fact they are happy to support it. When I write  genocide I include daily massacres of civilians (462 days now), starvation, dehydration, torture, arbitrary imprisonment not unlike hostage taking, killing medical personnel, killing journalists, killing aid workers. And that is the short list." Continue reading

"The Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy urges journalists to “avoid using misleading and inaccurate terminology,” as such language can create a narrative “far-removed from reality” and can, in some cases, be used deliberately to whitewash Israel’s crimes."  Continue reading

"As Malcolm X, Edward Said, and Franz Fanon warned, colonial powers and their institutions perpetuate systems that vilify the oppressed while glorifying their oppressors. This framing not only enables Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians but also erases the immense suffering of civilians under its brutal occupation." Continue reading

"If Kinsella hopes to have a clearer view of apartheid, he should tour the other side of the wall: the segregated roads, checkpoints, and demolished Palestinian homes in the Occupied West Bank. Then, perhaps, he will finally see it." Continue reading
