"In the interest of fairness, the article should have framed the situation more accurately, by presenting the Israeli supporters as the primary instigators of the violence—attacking buildings with Palestinian flags, shouting racist slogans, and engaging in other provocative acts."

Thank you once again for your courageous reporting on York's anti-Palestinian racism report. Just as antisemitism deserves attention in the media, we must also highlight anti-Palestinian racism, which is being used to silence voices that are critical of Israel’s ongoing genocidal campaign in occupied Gaza and its apartheid regime.

"I particularly appreciate that you included Co-owner Ramsey Zeid’s comments, where he described this incident as “a hate crime” and emphasized that “it’s all about intimidation and silencing" them. Unfortunately, when Palestinians are given a voice in the media, their stories are often buried at the very end of articles, making it easy for readers to overlook their perspectives."

This article published by the Winnipeg Sun is rife with factual inaccuracies and promotes racist narratives against Palestinians. It conflates pro-Palestinian advocacy with terrorism, representing a clear form of anti-Palestinian racism aimed at stifling legitimate calls for criticism against Israel’s apartheid regime. It is unacceptable for the Winnipeg Sun to publish this kind of content and portray racism in a positive light.
