Thank you CBC for your coverage on U of T encampment

"While I have some concerns with the passive language used to describe the death toll in Gaza, the article itself provides substantial context to the reasons behind the students’ protests and offers insightful information pertaining to the court's decision leading to the university’s injunction."

CTV fails to accurately describe the situation in Shujaiya

"The reality that is not detailed in the article is that Israel has been encircling the area and that it fired shells toward several houses and destroyed houses, leaving families trapped inside and unable to leave. Palestinians don’t have food. Some have been wounded, and ambulances have not been able to reach the area." Continue reading

 

Sudbury Article about petition to ban the sale of nickel to Israel could've added a perspective supporting it

"While it is crucial to include the perspectives of those who oppose the petition, it is equally important to provide a space for the petitioners and their supporters to explain their rationale and respond to the criticisms leveled against them. By predominantly featuring the perspective of CIJA and not sufficiently representing the views of the petitioners and their supporters, your article risks perpetuating a one-sided narrative."

Thank you for highlighting our institutions' refusal to acknowledge APR

You write that “our society frowns upon the usage of the word Palestine”, and I couldn’t agree with you more. Unfortunately, mainstream media outlets in Canada have a history of being reluctant to use the word Palestine. Some never use the word at all, opting instead to only talk about “Palestinians” while excluding their land.  Continue reading

 

Thank you for your informative article on ICC warrant applications

"Mr. Moss’s interview with South African High Commissioner to Canada Rieaz Shaik highlights the staunchly pro-Israel and unfair response to ICC warrant applications on Netanyahu by Canadian officials, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly. Shaik is right to believe that there is no false equivalency argument to be made by state officials in regards to Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza and that there is no right of any state to exceptionalism, including Israel, when it comes to respecting international law."

Why can't Toronto Sun cannot present Warminton's "opinion" on Dattani as "news"

If indeed Mr. Warmington wanted to act like a real journalist, or if he believed what his said in his piece, that, “It is important that he [Dattani] get a full and fair hearing on this because no one wants to see someone tarnished on bad information,” he might have bothered to talk to Dattani himself, or quote from the CBC article that was published on Dattani the day before, where Dattani responds to all the criticisms leveled at him. Continue reading

 

Why is a protest in front of a synagogue hosting a "real estate event" framed as antisemitic?

To make your article less one-sided, I ask you to add context about Gaza and the West Bank and add voices from the Pro-Palestinian protesters so that their intentions are clearly stated and not further mischaracterized. Continue reading

 

Language used in article on Gaza famine is selective and racist

I will also point out that your paragraph, “Israel imposed a complete siege on the territory at the start of the war and has only gradually eased it under pressure from Washington. The war has destroyed most of Gaza’s capacity to produce its own food,” is also racist and selective. Continue reading

 

Why is AP refusing to use the word Palestine in their reporting?

Refusing to acknowledge Palestine and its people not only perpetuates historical inaccuracies but also undermines the rights and aspirations of millions of Palestinians. It is imperative that the media recognize Palestine as a legitimate entity, acknowledging the diverse heritage and identity of the Palestinian people. Continue reading

 

“Jewish advocates” should be changed to “pro-Israel advocates” in article

Your article suggests that these two organizations and Ms. Lantsman are representative of the Jewish community and their concerns. However, this is not fair or accurate to Jewish human rights activists who are against antisemitism but yet critical of the government of Israel and its oppression and occupation of the Palestinian people. Continue reading
