"The National Post uses the term 'Sharia law' without nuance or explanation which perpetuates Islamophobic tropes that paint Muslim beliefs and practices as inherently suspect."

"While it’s true that General Assembly resolutions aren’t legally binding like Security Council resolutions, dismissing them as having "no legal weight" ignores their significant political impact. The overwhelming support for this resolution reflects a firm international stance against Israel’s apartheid policies, illegal occupation, and ongoing genocide in Palestine. This echoes the global pressure faced by apartheid South Africa in the 20th century, as the world rallied to demand an end to its regime."

"Presenting the U.S. envoy's actions as a genuine pursuit of peace perpetuates a misleading portrayal of the geopolitical dynamics at play. From a journalistic perspective, it is essential to scrutinize these narratives critically. It would have been more fair to say that the U.S. Special Envoy “said” it was pushing for peace and then clarifying that the U.S. provides military support, that way Global News is not unfairly lending credence to the paradoxical position the U.S. has taken."

"As the National Post is a member of Canada’s National NewsMedia Council, it is expected that your newsroom provides stories that are factually correct. I urge you to clarify Samidoun’s advocacy efforts and avoid the misleading term “anti-Israel” in order to correctly portray the pro-Palestinian solidarity movement in Canada. Unless the National Post has a mandate to actively contribute to furthering harmful stereotypes and defamatory statements against Palestinians and their allies, I suggest corrections be duly made."

"It has been common for voices in the media to assert that Samidoun is a “central” and leading force in organizing pro-Palestine activities in Canada — there is little evidence that Samidoun is significantly influential in Canada and this narrative results in an unfair delegitimization of the entire, overwhelmingly peaceful pro-Palestine movement in Canada."

"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."

"The Houthis are targeting Israeli-related ships or the ones that are heading to Israel to show support for Palestine and for Israel to stop its bombardment campaign on Gaza."

"Taking a single source at its word, especially when this source is the now deemed illegal occupier of the Palestinian territories, is hardly responsible journalistic practice. In the absence of verification from at least one other source, preferably Palestinian, it needs to be made clear that Israel's claim is as yet unsubstantiated."

"Although this alternative paragraph would be accurate in its reliance on uncorroborated Israeli claims, this reliance is in itself not very credible. In addition to being transparent about relaying Israeli claims, accuracy demands that you rely on them less."
