One-sided coverage of Nova Scotia NDP candidate’s criticism of Israel
"I request that the Canadian Press update their article with context from IJV Halifax’s statement, providing a more balanced representation of Jewish Canadian perspectives on Ms. Jakeman’s public tweets. I believe it is also critical that the Canadian Press make it clear that she was pressured to step out of the race after a mounted campaign by pro-Israel groups."

"You attribute responsibility for the deaths of Israeli civilians and soldiers on October 7 to Hamas militants, yet you use passive voice when stating that “the war has killed 43,000 in occupied Gaza,” failing to attribute responsibility to Israel’s ongoing campaign in Gaza that has resulted in over 43,000 Palestinian deaths."

"Reuters reported that Hezbollah has not commented on the claim. While their reporters could not independently verify the statements made by Israel, they emphasized that Hezbollah explicitly states it does not place military infrastructure near civilians."
Read moreRécent article sur la manifestation propalestinienne dans le cadre du défilé de la Fierté de Montréal cite tout le monde sauf les manifestants propalestiniens
« Vous n’avez consacré qu’une seule phrase aux manifestants propalestiniens. Vous avez paraphrasé leurs motivations plutôt que les citer directement. Vous semez le doute quant au caractère fondé de leurs reproches en écrivant « selon eux ». Vous ne nommez même pas à quel groupe ils appartiennent. »

"After Haaretz released its damning report that the Israeli military ordered the Hannibal Directive on October 7, I anticipated, to a certain extent, that popular Canadian media would conveniently ignore these findings. I am not surprised that The Canadian Press has fallen into the disappointing and deep pool of Canadian media outlets engaging in this case of deliberate self-censorship."

"Given the accusations of genocide that Israel is facing, it is unfair to report that merely Israel’s actions are part of an effort to “defeat Hamas.” Israeli ministers and military leaders have made genocidal claims and called for the annexation and/or permanent occupation of parts of Gaza."

Read moreArticle obscures the true extent of Palestinian suffering
I am disappointed that your reporting deviates from basic journalistic standards, failing to provide clarity on Palestinian victims and thus minimizing the tragedy of Palestinian civilian deaths, particularly among vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly.
Read moreArticle fails to accurately portray the struggles faced by Palestinians in completing their visa application form
"Considering the majority of houses in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged, gathering previous passport information becomes nearly impossible. This disparity in requirements exacerbates the challenges faced by Palestinian applicants, highlighting the urgent need for reform in the immigration process."
Read moreSerious concern about bias in recent article on CSIS warnings
"For whom is the English term “most commonly associated with attacks by Palestinian terrorist groups on public venues?” Certainly, that is one perspective, but how is the Canadian Press determining that is the most common one among the world’s English-speaking population? This is an absurd, unfair, and indefensible position — there is no evidence for such a supposition. Indeed, the term “intifada” encompasses a wide range of sentiments."
