"As a daughter of immigrants who came to Canada and a Canadian by birth, our loyalty to Canada is our duty to call out our government when it is wrong, has failed to live up to its standards, and enact better policies, which include its international affairs, in the hope of getting it to change to be better."

"Failing to see it this way and waiting again to react by gathering academics, experts, and diaspora community members “once the war is over” would put us back in the same cycle of deliberately turning a blind eye to damning evidence." Continue reading

"I find it inappropriate to report the numbers of Israeli  dead in the first section of the article, while not giving the much larger Palestinian losses until the fourth section. One would expect to see these closer together unless the intention is to downplay the number of Palestinians killed." Continue reading

"There are nearly 7 million Palestinian refugees around the world today. They were not merely kicked to the “outskirts” of Palestine.

Mainstream media have the unfortunate habit to treat Israeli sources a as credible while casting doubt on Palestinian sources." Continue reading

"Importantly, your article includes reference to the rise in antisemitism as well as  Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism associated with the violent events in Israel and Gaza. Such balance is necessary at this time as individuals of all religions in this violence are feeling threatened along the lines you express." Continue reading

"Your citing the sources of the data you use to describe the violence is excellent as this allows the reader to make their own decision as to the veracity of the numbers. Unlike other reporters, you do not merely parrot the IDF propaganda. Thank you for this." Continue reading

"To report on the military targeting of the Hamas tunnels in the absence of any acknowledgment of Israel’s deliberate attacks on the Palestinian civilian population and their infrastructures dehumanizes the Palestinians. It also reinforces Israel’s impunity for the humanitarian crisis that they have created and continue to expand in total disregard for International Humanitarian Law." Continue reading

"By pushing for a more balanced foreign policy, including in support of the Palestinian freedom struggle, new Canadians open a better path. The pressure for peace must now expand. An end to Israel’s occupation is urgent, and immediate demands for a ceasefire must ring loud and clear." Continue reading
