Re: Voice of the People: Freedom of expression can shield anarchy
By centering the narrative solely on alleged threats to Jewish students and ignoring the larger context of the Gaza crisis, Levine dangerously downplays the gravity of the situation and the reason behind the protests.

Israel's genocide in Gaza is not a 'subsequent retaliation'
The ongoing seizure of Palestinian land, unlawful killings, forced displacement, severe movement restrictions, and denial of nationality and citizenship all contribute to an apartheid system, as recognized by Amnesty International and international law. If you wish to avoid double standards in journalism, the same scrutiny should be applied to both Hamas and Israel.

Clarification needed to justify the true meaning of “Taqiyya”
As such, I demand the Toronto Sun publish a clarification of the true meaning of “Taqiyya” as founded in the writings of many Muslim scholars. Clearly, the Muslim culture is willfully misunderstood and misrepresented by Ms. Goldman so as to make such a clarification mandatory.

Re: “Jews have eyes. And they see that the antisemitism in the protests over Gaza is no aberration,” by Robyn Urback

Describing an encampment as a protest "in solidarity in Gaza" is inadequate
The violent police crackdown on the encampments across the US is imperative for Canadian readers to know, especially as a McGill encampment in Montreal emerges and takes root. Please elaborate on this unfortunate pattern that has been observed in the United States and Europe.

CBC should quote those who organize the encampments, not just those who condemn them
To consistently quote those who tend to condemn the protests/encampments but not those who organize them is illogical and journalistically irresponsible.

Article fails to give voice to people supportive of McGill's pro-Palestine encampments
There are 338 MPS, so it is unfortunate that a media outlet constantly focuses on what one MP has to say, especially when it is always in opposition to anything related to Palestine.
