While the author allows Canadian politicians to vent outrage at the “heinous terrorist attacks” of Oct. 7th, there is not a syllable acknowledging the two years of genocide endured by Palestinians. For 735 days we saw 735 relentless massacres of innocents in Gaza. This fact cannot be left out of the article if you are going to mention October 7th multiple times.

"My concern is with the missing context for why the words ‘Feed Me’ were chosen to be the subject of the vandalism. The article clearly references Israel and the ‘conflict in the Middle East’ with quotes from both Deborah Lyons and Lawrence Greenspon."

"The Palestinians have proven without a doubt by enduring 600 days of bombing, a campaign of mass starvation, and 75 years of occupation that they love life and have dreams like you and me. Your article would be more balanced and fairer if you shared their perspectives and their dreams for a future free from occupation, in which they have the right to self determination."

"I request that you revise this section, rejecting racist language that rationalizes violence against civilians."

"Given that Amnesty International has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip, please refrain from using the term “war.” It is neutral and fails to capture the intent behind Israel’s genocidal campaign in the occupied Gaza Strip, which is not merely war, but deliberately destroying Palestinians to further their settler-colonial agenda, covered under the guise of Judaism."

"Would you refer to it as a “war” if Russia was doing this to a largely defenceless Ukraine? I don’t think so. In fact world humanitarian groups are now referring to the situation in Gaza as a genocide. This is no longer debateable to anyone but Israeli apologists. I strongly urge you to refer to this carnage as a genocide from now on."

"It is irresponsible for CP to exclude Syrian perspectives of concern regarding HTS and Turkey’s warm relationship. Journalistic skepticism should interrogate how Turkey's actions are shaping Syria’s political future and whether such actions genuinely serve the interests of stability and self-determination. By failing to provide this context, CP risks legitimizing a geopolitical strategy that disregards Syrian sovereignty, Kurdish autonomy, and international law."

"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."
