"A journalist ought to ask some clarifying questions about these comments, but Mulroney doesn’t. Given that he is an ambassador for a pro-Israel lobby organization, and the West Block no longer seems to have segments focused on Palestine or Israel since Mulroney joined, it appears to CJPME that Mulroney either cannot ask these questions or is unwilling to given these extreme conflicts."

In fact, since October 2025, mainstream media language has increasingly relied on euphemisms that manufacture the appearance of a meaningful ceasefire in Gaza where none exists. Continue reading

This pattern also reflects a well-documented Israeli strategy of manufacturing doubt to evade accountability for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, crimes that have contributed to circumstances under which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now faces an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court.

This media trend has frequently taken the form of uncritically repeating Israeli claims that the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza is inflating the Palestinian death toll, or has otherwise cast suspicion on the credibility of Palestinian death toll reporting. Continue reading

"It appears that AP is relying on numbers from the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), a U.S.-based organization that aggregates arrest data through activist networks under conditions of severe information blackouts inside Iran. While HRANA’s work may be valuable, its figures have not been verified by a reliable third-party." Continue reading

We urge you to include critical perspectives and essential context regarding Trump’s “Board of Peace” in future reporting, especially perspectives that center Palestinian voices and expose how colonial powers mask intentions of occupation under the rhetoric of peace. Continue reading

Why does this article use “Hamas-led” when describing Gaza Health Ministry statistics of Palestinians killed by Israel during the “ceasefire”? In Canada, the press would not use “Liberal-led” to describe any federal level ministry. I have also never seen the press use “Likud-led” in describing any of Israel’s ministries.  Continue reading
