"The article inaccurately claims that Hamas's operation on October 7 killed "more than 1,200 civilians. This is incorrect. According to Haaretz, 1,105 individuals were killed. This included 851 civilians (including 59 from the police force and 13 from the emergency services) and 368 IDF soldiers. This distinction between civilians and soldiers is critical, and misrepresenting these numbers grossly misleads readers as Mr. Hopper inflates civilian casualties on Oct.7." Continue reading

"It has been common for voices in the media to assert that Samidoun is a “central” and leading force in organizing pro-Palestine activities in Canada — there is little evidence that Samidoun is significantly influential in Canada and this narrative results in an unfair delegitimization of the entire, overwhelmingly peaceful pro-Palestine movement in Canada."

"Media outlets must recognize that supporting Palestinian liberation and opposing Israel's apartheid policies are not acts of antisemitism. Media must stop allowing B’nai Brith to blur this distinction, as antisemitism should not be weaponized to suppress the fight for Palestinian liberation."

"Thank you for bringing attention to the resilience of Palestinians despite Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip and its ongoing genocide. We encourage you to continue highlighting their stories and the brutal realities they are enduring." Continue reading

"Tristin Hopper’s own article in the National Post from the very same day says that Samidoun “were also allegedly handing out pamphlets explicitly detailing terrorist strategies and how they could be employed” [emphasis added]. Why is that qualifier excluded in his talk radio segment?" Continue reading

"You quote Zeid’s remark that “this conflict did not start on October 7th” without providing any context. A concerning trend we’ve been observing in Canadian media is the tendency to begin the timeline on October 7th, failing to acknowledge that for decades, Israeli settlers have looted Palestinian land, attacked civilians, and forcibly expelled Palestinians from their homeland."

"Highlighting the ICJ’s ruling is crucial for readers to understand that Israel has not been waging a “counter-offensive” in Gaza after Hamas’ October 7th attacks; it has been committing genocide for the past year. Gaza right now is on the brink of collapse, with Israel ordering evacuation orders, bombing hospitals, imposing a siege and blockade." Continue reading

"A September 20, 2024, Al-Jazeera report found that since October 7, Hezbollah and its allies attacked Israel 1,901 times, whereas Israel attacked Lebanon in the same period 8,313 times. This is a massive discrepancy that one would imagine merits mention in Brown’s article." Continue reading

"The ”room” that Caddell accuses Elghawaby of having “lost” has been indifferent and discriminatory to Muslims and other racialized groups for far too long.  Far from losing it, Elghawaby has been a clear voice for reform and change, and to Caddell’s horror, the room is starting to listen."

"By giving CIJA this platform without offering any balanced representation from Palestinian or Muslim voices, your segment reinforces harmful stereotypes against Palestinians - framing anyone resisting Israel’s apartheid policies as a threat." Continue reading
