"To report on the military targeting of the Hamas tunnels in the absence of any acknowledgment of Israel’s deliberate attacks on the Palestinian civilian population and their infrastructures dehumanizes the Palestinians. It also reinforces Israel’s impunity for the humanitarian crisis that they have created and continue to expand in total disregard for International Humanitarian Law."

Please help us challenge this one-sided article questioning Gaza’s Ministry of Health’s credibility and the legitimacy of the Palestinian death toll numbers that it gives. The same skepticism shown in this article wouldn’t be applied to Israel, i.e. questioning Israel’s credibility, its data sources, and their final figures.

"It is not silly, however, but dangerous for you to inflame tensions by distorting the facts and pretending that “Jew” and “Israeli special forces” are synonyms. Torontonians can protest the latter without prejudice to the former: that this even needs to be said is a real shame."

"The information in the paragraph above is incontestable and well established by all major news and wire services: it cannot fairly be suppressed. We insist on immediate action to correct your biased, inaccurate, inflammatory story."

"You must show more respect to Palestinian Torontonians amid this pain and hate. Look into the details as credible observers track Israel’s embrace of positively genocidal violence in Gaza, and start to report on these horrors with some basic human respect."

"Informed Canadian readers should by now all know that Israel has decisive control over the Rafah crossing. The Saturday Globe and Mail, for instance, gave us reports that Rafah was closed because “Israel has not agreed to allow humanitarian supplies to enter Gaza from Egypt, where large numbers of trucks are awaiting entry.” Israel, the Globe clarified, has this week exercised its control over the Rafah crossing to impose a siege on Gaza: “the Israeli authorities halted all supplies of food, fuel, water, and medicine into Gaza.” 

"By the time you published this report, more Palestinians than Israelis had been killed in this week’s violence: now more than 1,800 Palestinians killed by Israel, and the number daily rises by the hundreds. Your emphasis on Israeli losses will be read as lopsided, i.e. racist."

"I insist that Canadian Press and CTV include a reference to the fact that Canadians in the Gaza Strip cannot access evacuation flights due to Israeli blockades."

"Not including a Palestinian voice and focusing on Israeli victims alone helps to reinforce the perception that Palestinians are less deserving of access to basic human rights."

"This segment is inaccurate and literally uses footage from the wrong demonstration. You estimate the number of participants at the Palestine demonstration in the dozens. This is false. TVA, which was actually present at the demonstration in question, showed video clarifying that there were in fact several hundred demonstrators at the Palestine rally."
