One-sided article fails to be accurate about BC’s city’s council chambers protest
"You use the word “angry” to describe the protesters calling for a ceasefire, using the same language that Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke used to describe what was happening in the city council chambers. It makes your article one-sided and unfair since their demands are legitimate and reasonable, considering the seriousness of the events unfolding in Gaza."
Read moreOne-sided article lacks Palestinian perspectives
"Your article only gives voice to Henry Topas, Quebec's regional director of B'nai Brith and a Jewish student, without giving voice to other critical pro-Palestinian voices or perspectives and students who voted for this pro-Palestine policy."
Read moreIncomplete and biased article fails to include Palestinian perspetives
"Your article is biased as it only gives information about the Israel-based company, Zim Integrated Shipping Services, from the 1940s. Nothing is written about the company’s recent activities or even from 1948 and onwards. The protest is against the Zim of today, not of the 1940s. History matters, of course, but so does the context of the present situation."

"Using the word Jerusalem without specifying if it is East or West Jerusalem adds fuel to the situation. While we still don’t know where the MPs went, it is highly probable that they went to East Jerusalem, as Marco Mendicino tweeted a picture of him in front of the Old City in East Jerusalem."
Read moreArticle downplays the number of Palestinians killed
"I find it inappropriate to report the numbers of Israeli dead in the first section of the article, while not giving the much larger Palestinian losses until the fourth section. One would expect to see these closer together unless the intention is to downplay the number of Palestinians killed."
Read moreFailure to specify Israel’s military operations and their humanitarian impact on Gazans
"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."
Read moreArticle fails to depict the Parliament Hill rally fairly
"Thousands of people showed up in support of Palestinians and called for an immediate ceasefire. You are not covering this event in a fair or balanced manner. You are not giving a voice and space to Palestinians and their perspective, even though it would be highly appropriate in this context."
Read moreRadio segment with Robert Walker violates CBSC codes
"Ironically, you invited such a guest to discuss the media’s response to the events in Gaza while letting him spread more disinformation, misinformation, and hate speech and not challenge him."
Read moreUn changement de langage et l'ajout d'un contexte crucial sont nécessaires pour éviter la déshumanisation des Palestiniens
"Vous écrivez : « Les autorités palestiniennes, dirigées par le Hamas, affirment que plus de 5000 personnes sont mortes à Gaza à cause des tirs de roquettes israéliennes. » Vous mentionnez que les autorités palestiniennes sont dirigées par le Hamas et utilisez les mots « sont mortes » pour qualifier les victimes palestiniennes alors que vous utilisez le mot « tuant » pour qualifier les victimes israéliennes. Il s’agit d’un biais et ce genre de formulation tend à décrédibiliser les informations du côté palestinien."
Read morePerspectives palestiniennes et une indication que les témoignages rapportés ne sont pas vérifiés sont tous les deux nécessaires
"Non seulement vous mettez de l’huile sur le feu de la haine anti-palestinienne, mais vous prenez un parti pris du côté israélien et participez activement à la propagande, désinformation et mésinformation de leur gouvernement."
