Pages tagged "Boycott Related"


Thank you Toronto Star for providing a factual and informative article on the Indigo 11

Ms.Paradkar presents a diversity of sources from both the police, Canadian Courts, and
most importantly, the pro-Palestinian protesters who were heavily impacted by the
escalations of the police. Too often, demonstrators and organizers are brushed aside and
their accounts not taken seriously by journalists

Recent article doesn't contextualize the Houthis and their motivations

"The Houthis have launched these attacks in staunch opposition to Israel’s military operations in Gaza, which have killed close to 30,000 people in four months, according to Al Jazeera. Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi official, has repeatedly stated that their military operations against ships in the Red Sea will 'stop immediately and without conditions' when the 'aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted'."

Important information omitted about BDS omitted in article about Canadian Union of Postal Workers' lawsuit in The Canadian Press

"I appreciate how you describe CUPW’s support of a boycott of Israeli products, but the description is limited in a couple of ways. The campaign that CUPW endorsed is more than a boycott, and it is a response to the mistreatment that Palestinians face as a whole, including refugees and Palestinian citizens of Israel (not just those in the occupied Palestinian territories)."

Re: "Postal workers’ union settles defamation lawsuit with B’nai Brith"

It is incredibly encouraging to see CUPW’s steadfastness in the face of B’nai Brith’s smear campaign. Their case is just one example of how organizations and activists who stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people are often unfairly targeted and defamed by being falsely accused of antisemitism or supporting terrorism.

Re: “Postal workers’ union settles defamation lawsuit with B’nai Brith”

The settlement of CUPW’s defamation lawsuit against B’nai Brith is a victory for all those who stand up in solidarity with Palestinians and should serve as a reminder for the need to continually oppose attempts to silence support for justice.

One sided attack against support for Palestinian activism and solidarity

Unfortunately, your article fails to provide a response to these claims from Palestinians and their allies. Given that you have reported on B’nai Brith’s claims, which depict the Palestinian movement in a negative light, it seems appropriate and necessary to include a response from those who are being targeted. It is not only Jama who is affected by these false and unfair claims which conflate human rights activism with antisemitism.

Misleading information plagiarized from AP by Toronto Star

"In an article already plagued by unbalanced reporting (read: citing B’nai Brith but no Palestinian groups), I was shocked to read a clear-cut case of plagiarism in the twelfth paragraph of Ferguson’s article. Besides one word, all of this language is plagiarized directly from the Associated Press."

Re: "BDS movement antisemitic"

If Michael Mostyn has a definition of antisemitism which implies that Palestinians are undeserving of self-determination and basic rights codified by international humanitarian law, then perhaps he needs to rethink his definition of antisemitism.

Racist and unfounded depiction of Palestinian chant in Toronto Star

"Jama’s critics (and subsequently, your article) are wildly misrepresenting the meaning of the Palestinian chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which is a simple and legitimate call for freedom for all Palestinians under Israeli rule. Yousef Munayyer writes in Jewish Currents that the chant refers to “a state in which Palestinians can live in their homeland as free and equal citizens, neither dominated by others nor dominating them.” As he writes, “the claim that [it] carries a genocidal intent relies not on the historical record, but rather on racism and Islamophobia.”
