Correction needed to clarify that Israel is blocking aid from entering Gaza

"Aid is not being “limited in the region.” Such words tend to undermine Israel’s actions and responsibility. Israel has blocked aid from entering Gaza, although it is its responsibility as an occupying power to let aid in."   Continue reading

 

Correction needed to use more precise language when reporting on Israel's actions

"These words also obfuscate the scale of Israel’s current military campaign in Gaza. Israel has killed civilians in Gaza with military tactics and equipment besides missiles and bombs. Palestinians in Gaza are being targeted and killed by airstrikes, gunshots, and tanks, as well as fatal conditions that have caused death from lack of medicine, starvation, dehydration, and malnutrition."

No evidence provided to corroborate claims made on-air

"With respect to the “Flour Massacre” 1.5 weeks ago, is Gutfreund aware that he is repeating hearsay and that there is significant evidence that Israel is the one who shot at Palestinians queuing to get aid?  I would ask CP24 to cite the footage that Gutfreund refers to.   Gutfreund cannot make flippant claims, saying “there is plenty of footage” and “it is believed” when he is a journalist."

Thank you for shedding light on the struggles of Palestinian families and prioritizing their perspectives

"Your article sheds light on the difficulties of family members from Gaza currently stranded in Egypt, facing the imminent expiration of their legal status, dwindling finances, and silence from the Canadian government despite their families' investment in the temporary visa program.

Article fails to mention that Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are illegal

Article is a mouthpiece for pro-Israel propaganda

"They were not protesting in front of synagogues because of what they represent to the Jewish people. They were protesting in front of the synagogue because of the events they were hosting: a “real estate event” advertising stolen land for sale in the broader context of genocide in Gaza and the rise of illegal settlements in the West Bank." Continue reading

 

Urgency to issue on-air correction for referring to pro-Palestinian protestors as “violent”

"While the protests were indeed “noisy,” this is the nature of protests, and such freedom of expression is a cherished right in a democratic society, even when some other people may disagree with what is being expressed." Continue reading

 

Article fails to outline the controversy and racism in Selina Robinson's comments

"Your article partakes in undermining how controversial and racist her comments were by using the words: “pre-1948 Israel.” The land to which you are referring is Palestine, both from a modern-day perspective and a historical perspective. By describing this territory as “pre-1948 Israel,” you are erasing the history of Palestinians and their land and, therefore, reinforcing Robinson’s harmful anti-Palestinian comments."

Members of Israel's occupation forces were invited to “Israeli Perspective Coming to Life” event, not Israeli advocates

"It is misleading to write that the event involved “three Israeli advocates” as they are members of Israel’s occupation forces. Describing these individuals as advocates glosses over the controversial nature of the event and also the reasoning behind the protest at a time when the ICJ has accused Israel of committing a plausible genocide in Gaza."
