Clarification regarding October 7th death toll reporting

"In the name of fair and accurate journalism, I believe this context should have been included in the article, as it’s crucial for readers to understand what truly happened on October 7, including the fact that Israel’s own military directives led to the deaths of its own civilians."

Concerns Regarding Accuracy and Sensitivity in Recent Article on UN Motion

"Second, referring to Israel’s presence in the occupied West Bank as “disputed” is factually incorrect, legally unfounded, and undermines Palestinians' legitimate indigenous claim to their land. All settlements and outposts are considered illegal under international law based on the Fourth Geneva Convention which specifies that the transfer of an occupier’s population into the territory it occupies is prohibited. To maintain journalistic accuracy, I urge you to describe Israel’s presence in the West Bank as 'occupied' rather than 'disputed.'"

Thank you for your recent interview with Ambassador Mona Abuamara

It is unusual to read such a thorough account of a Palestinian perspective in Canadian media. That said, this article helps balance a media environment that rarely platforms Palestinians, except when covering their suffering.

B'nai Brith conflates incidents of antisemitism with pro-Palestinian activism and criticism of the state of Israel and its policies

"There are several issues in your article. First, you do not provide a description of B’nai Brith. B'nai Brith Canada is a self-professed staunch defender of the State of Israel and a pro-Israel advocacy organization. Not providing information about B’nai Brith is misleading and unfair as their pro-Israel stances are often conflated with antisemitism."

CBC: The term intifada is widely understood to mean a civil uprising and not terror attacks

"While it is true that Intifadas in Palestine have included violent events, they are fundamentally about resisting oppression. The resistance has been mixed, involving both violent and non-violent methods. To frame calls for an intifada as inherently violent is a gross misrepresentation and does a disservice to your readers."

Questionable assertions from CBC regarding aid in Gaza

"The United Nations defines 'terrorism' as criminal acts against civilians with the purpose to 'intimidate a population or compel a government or an international organization to do or abstain from doing an act.' If indeed Hamas or unidentified gunmen have stolen aid, it would not be for any political purpose, but rather to feed starving people.  As such, the characterization of such attacks being by nature 'terror' would be inaccurate."

What is the obsession with Anthony Housefather, CIJA, B'nai Brith and Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center?

"I take foremost issue with your article giving overwhelmingly voice to Richard Marceau, vice president for the Centre of Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), Jaime Kirzner-Roberts, director of policy and advocacy at the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, and Richard Robertson, director for research and advocacy for B’nai Brith Canada, while you only briefly quote the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM)."

Highly unreliable study in article requires qualification

"The numbers you cite are based on B’nai Brith’s annual antisemitism report, which conflates antisemitic incidents with pro-Palestine advocacy. This is a yearly issue, and yet the report is treated as a reliable source. While B’nai Brith keeps the vast majority of the data private, so it cannot be independently verified, some examples they give in their brief public report indicate the numbers do not represent what most Canadians consider antisemitic acts."

CP article in CBC scrubbed of reference to Jewish Defense League, a terrorist organization

Why has CBC Montreal scrubbed the article to remove reference to an extremist, right-wing, terrorist group showing up to intimate student protesters? Canadian audiences have been bombarded with allegations of pro-Palestine protesters being the threat, but when a pro-Israel terror group shows up to intimate protesters, the media downplays the incident

One-sided article gives outdated Palestinian death toll & dangerously conflates anti-Zionism & antisemitism

"In tandem with my point above, this article lacks critical context regarding Israel’s military assault on Gaza. Given that this article reports on allegations of antisemitism made against the student encampments, it would be appropriate to fully describe student motivations along with the circumstances in Gaza that have prompted the erection of these encampments."
