"You attribute responsibility for the deaths of Israeli civilians and soldiers on October 7 to Hamas militants, yet you use passive voice when stating that “the war has killed 43,000 in occupied Gaza,” failing to attribute responsibility to Israel’s ongoing campaign in Gaza that has resulted in over 43,000 Palestinian deaths."

"Neglecting this context minimizes the voices of Arab communities in North America. Unfortunately, this oversight, whether intentional or not, is part of a broader media trend in Canada including at the CBC. Canadian media is increasingly erasing Arab narratives and their impact on civil society in Canada and the US." Continue reading

"The article claims that Hamas's operation on October 7 “killed about 1,200 people.” 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." Continue reading

"En tant qu'analyste des médias, je pense que Le Devoir est le seul média que j'ai vu aborder la doctrine Dahiya d'Israël et démentir les affirmations de l'armée israélienne selon lesquelles les infrastructures civiles de la bande de Gaza occupée ou du Liban sont ciblées en raison de la présence de dirigeants du Hamas ou du Hezbollah."

"I particularly appreciate that you included Co-owner Ramsey Zeid’s comments, where he described this incident as “a hate crime” and emphasized that “it’s all about intimidation and silencing" them.

"I appreciate Mr. Assaly’s decision to also spotlight this incident amid coverage of other racist statements made by Tony Hinchcliffe at the rally. Rather than leaving his APR remarks unaddressed as well as the awful statement made by Rudy Giuliani ignored, Mr. Assaly took the time to thoroughly expose all of the harmful statements made that day."

"However, the NDP must recognize that embracing a pro-Palestine stance is not just about securing votes; it is about standing on the right side of history and opposing complicity in Israel’s genocide in occupied Gaza. One does not need to be Palestinian to oppose Israel’s ethnic cleansing." Continue reading

"Now, whenever my mom hears a plane, she worries it might be an airstrike. Time may soften the pain and memories can fade, but the weight of this generational trauma is heavy, and it doesn’t really go away, does it?..." Continue reading

"HRC frequently conflates legitimate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, attempting to silence Palestinians and their allies. Should your editorial face undue backlash, please know that CJPME stands ready to support you and defend your freedom of expression." Continue reading

"Watching your segment deeply resonated with me on a personal level. My grandfather is from southern Lebanon and was displaced due to Israel’s expansion of its genocide in occupied Gaza into Lebanon. October is a season of harvest, much as it is for others — a time for gathering olives to produce oil and soap. For us, the olive harvest is not only a yearly tradition of collecting olives, it represents our connection to the land and is a symbol of resistance — reminding us to stay steadfast in the face of hardship much like the olive tree that endures even the harshest of winters."
