This headline blurs the line between fact and accusation, presenting the Israeli/U.S. claim that Hamas was behind the killing of Palestinian aid workers as if it were an established fact. Continue reading

The article’s headline is misleading. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification reported that 244,000 Palestinians in Gaza, or 12% of the population, were already facing Phase 5 levels of catastrophic hunger, as observed in April 2025 - May 2025. That is according to the very report you cite. Gaza is not “at critical risk of famine if Israel doesn’t end its blockade,” rather, Gaza already is at risk of famine because of Israel’s blockade.

I want to thank Mr. Sheppard for his piece that humanizes Palestinian perspectives which so often are excluded from the press.  By centering Serena Nicole LeGrow’s reflections as a Canadian and the partner of a Palestinian, the article provides a deeply personal lens on the growing hostility faced by Palestinians and their allies under the current U.S. administration. Continue reading

Too often, mainstream coverage relies on passive voice—phrases like “more than 48,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza”—which misleads readers into believing Palestinian deaths occurred in a vacuum. This erasure numbs the public to Israel’s ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity, reducing Palestinian deaths to mere statistics and shielding Israel from scrutiny and accountability.

While I don’t excuse acts of vandalism nor do I want to assume that pro-Palestinian activists were involved, your story excludes Palestinian perspectives and fundamentally misleads readers about the nature of student activism. There is a clear form of suppression of dissent on campus and this omission reflects exclusion of Palestinian narratives and a prejudicial placement of viewpoints. Continue reading

More than 18 months into what organizations like Amnesty International have concluded is a genocide, Walker continues to point the finger at Hamas. This isn’t a compelling argument, but I don’t think Walker particularly cares. Such rhetoric is part of a broader strategy by these partisan groups to keep people distracted from the realities on the ground while Israel continues its onslaught in Gaza and land grabs in the occupied West Bank.  Continue reading

It was refreshing to read an article that met these basic journalistic standards, which are too often cast aside when writing about Palestine and Israel. Continue reading

Forced population transfer is a massive violation of international law. The report fails to use clear language such as ethnic cleansing or forced displacement, despite the proposal clearly meeting that threshold. The failure to accurately label the redevelopment plan as such reflects a lack of journalistic precision and normalizes dehumanizing language against Palestinians. Continue reading

Overall, your article is a much needed, human portrait of Canadians relationship to the ongoing impacts of violent imperialism in the Middle East. Continue reading

Mr. El Akkad’s book One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is crucially important to unpacking how we can respond to our current period of western complicity in genocide. I appreciate you giving program time to him and his thoughtful analysis of our politically corrupt climate. Continue reading
