The article is one-sided and fails to meet journalistic standards of fairness and balance laid out in the Canadian Association of Journalists ethics guidelines.  Continue reading

Perspectives from Palestinian Canadians and alternative Jewish groups are notably absent. As such, the article is one-sided and fails to meet journalistic standards of fairness and balance laid out in the Canadian Association of Journalists ethics guidelines.  Continue reading

While I appreciate some of the balance of this article it irresponsibly omits a Palestinian voice or perspective as the story of the Nakba demands. It also lacks a progressive and empathetic Jewish representation of which there are many - Independent Jewish Voices and Jews Say No to Genocide to name only two. Continue reading

Repeatedly portraying Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East has long been used to secure continued political, military, and economic support from Western democracies by fostering a “people like us” sense of shared identity and values. Continue reading

Many Jews are deeply critical of Israel and its ongoing genocide and aggression. Continue reading
