"Your reporting failed to provide adequate scrutiny expected from reporters on Mendicino’s political record. The segment in question vaguely references “mixed reactions” to Mendicino’s appointment within the Liberal caucus but does not delve into his extensive history of anti-Palestinian rhetoric and policies. Your report merely states that he was a “strong advocate for Israel following the October 7 attacks,” an overly neutral phrasing that conceals the full extent of his record."

"Referencing them as loyalists is inaccurate and contributes to a sectarian narrative that pits different religious communities in Syria against each other without evidence of such being the case."

"While your coverage mentions Israel’s blockade on the occupied Gaza Strip, it fails to mention that this practice constitutes a crime against humanity, defying one of the six provisional measures issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in January 2024, which explicitly requires Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza (Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip [South Africa v. Israel], Order of 26 January 2024)."

"If you are not willing to make the change, I would ask that you explain to me why you have a different standard for reporting on Russia’s war strategy than you do on Israel’s war strategy?"

"Language that presents Trump's intentions of ethnically cleansing Palestinians as mere “redevelopment” dangerously normalizes violations of international humanitarian law. CityNews Tonight Toronto has an obligation to ensure its reporting does not serve to normalize war crimes and crimes against humanity. At a minimum, the reporting should have explicitly stated Trump’s plan amounts to ethnic cleansing, which is in blatant violation of international law."

Will the CBC choose to do the right thing and air No Other Land, or will it continue its complicity?

"Bien qu'il soit connu pour ses tactiques militantes parfois provocatrices, le réduire à un simple agitateur est une erreur journalistique grave et fallacieuse. Au lieu d'exposer son travail et ses critiques sur la base de recherches sérieuses, l'article recourt à un langage dédaigneux, le décrivant comme quelqu'un qui « hurle à pleins poumons » et le qualifiant d'« agitateur »."

"Your framing of the hostage-prisoner/detainee exchange fails to highlight the asymmetry of releasing 33 Israeli hostages versus 2,000 Palestinian detainees, while also neglecting critical context on Israel’s use of administrative detention which allows Israel to imprison Palestinians indefinitely without charge or trial."

"To make matters worse, you fail to mention that his arrest was the result of a legal action by Dahlia Kurtz, a pro-Israel activist who has explicitly promoted genocide and made numerous blatant racist remarks about Palestinians."
