Inaccurate framing of pro-Palestine protests and Muslims in recent article

"This reporting is not only inaccurate but also misleading. These demonstrations are anti-genocide protests, driven by the hunger to end Israel’s indiscriminate bombings of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Furthermore, I take issue with the lack of skepticism around the framing of Israel’s now 11-month brutal and unlawful siege on Gaza. Israel has framed its occupation of the strip under the guise of targeting Hamas resistance fighters yet this nuance or context is nowhere to be found in your text."

Serious concerns with issues in article on Jewish vigilante groups

"This information hopefully makes clear why the presence of these groups serves not to bring safety to Jewish people but to intimidate and threaten advocates for Palestinian human rights. They should be identified instead as extremist vigilante organizations with far-right, anti-Palestinian ideologies."

RE: The campaign to silence the truth about Israel

"The most referenced definition of APR is the one that was formalized by the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association (ACLA). Benlolo writing that 'From the river to the sea [Palestine] will be free' is a 'violent Palestinian discourse calling for the genocide of the Jewish people' is a manifestation of this definition of APR."

CJPME says thank you to the McGill Daily's article on the McGill encampment

"CJPME appreciates your coverage of the McGill encampment in support of Palestine. Once again, student media like The Daily provide a necessary outlet for Palestinians and their supporters, who are too often dehumanized or unjustly labeled as terrorist sympathizers in mainstream media."

Request for addition of context in colt weapons plant expansion article

Although I appreciated that the article included a diversity of concerns about the proposed expansion of the Colt weapons plant in Kitchener, sufficient background was lacking as to why several members of the public condemned the expansion at a council meeting Monday night. You give voice to Andrew Reeves, who mentions ‘implications overseas’ and the possibility of ‘Kitchener [being] complicit in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war’ without providing any background information.

Major error in 2023 article, correct the public record

"The context that Balsam was referring to is clear. He was discussing pro-Palestine protests in support of a ceasefire, not pro-Israel protests, as the Toronto Sun’s article suggests."

Merci pour votre importante contribution au débat sur le DIH

« Alors que les démocraties occidentales se vantent fréquemment d'être des champions du respect et de la promotion des droits humains, votre article réfute cette présomption en démontrant qu'Israël, un État perçu comme une démocratie libérale, a violé de nombreux droits humains par ses actions génocidaires en Palestine »

Letter to the editor: Re:Unhelpful move by Tammy MacIntosh August 14, 2024

"MacIntosh accuses Palestine activist Ramsey Zeid of being “on only one side,” yet her letter is also incredibly one-sided. By focusing exclusively on the actions of Hamas and ignoring Israel's military actions that has now killed 40,000 Palestinian civilians, she perpetuates a narrative that devalues Palestinian lives and dismisses their right to resist oppression. This selective empathy, which only acknowledges Israeli suffering while glossing over the far greater Palestinian suffering, is a form of anti-Palestinian racism."

Complain to the National Post about a pro-Israel and inflammatory article describing a peaceful protest tactic of showing Palestine liberation messages on electronic road signs as antisemitic and hateful

"The article provocatively characterizes Palestinian liberation messages on electronic road signs, such as 'Free Palestine,' 'Escalate Now,' and 'Globalize the Intifada' as anti-Israel."

Why did AP and Globe and Mail leave out important elements of context about the protest outside Congress?

"By focusing on Netanyahu’s visit and speech, the article turned the attention away from the fact that Israel is still waging its genocide. Failing to mention this essential piece of information emphasizes the importance of adding context and illustrates how controversial his visit and speech were."
