"It is disappointing that this article did not discuss why Ledé was wearing a Keffiyeh patterned cardigan in the broader context of Israel’s bombardment campaign on Gaza, described as a plausible genocide by the International Court of Justice (ICJ.)  The article should have included context about Israel’s violence in Gaza and the ICJ’s concerns about Israel’s acts being genocidal."

"It is disappointing that this radio segment took this opportunity to attack and discredit Kiana Lede and not discuss why she was wearing a Keffiyeh patterned cardigan. This radio segment should have brought light to the proven allegations of genocide against Israel and not about how inappropriate it is."

"By the way it is written, it's assumed that the 26,000 are Israeli casualties, which is false. The 26,000 people who have been killed are Palestinians, and Israeli forces have killed them."

"Relegating voices that are critical of Israel or sympathetic to Palestinians to disadvantageous locations in an article– or outright excluding them– further marginalizes Palestinian narratives and upholds the status quo of oppression."

"Please publish a correction to remove the suggestion that all protesters support the Houthi Motto as this claim is entirely uncorroborated, and add missing Palestinian perspectives."

"You quote and agree with Toronto’s Chief of police misrepresenting the protests as an intimidation tactic against Jewish people and that their location was “targeted because it’s in close proximity to Toronto’s largest Jewish neighborhood.” These claims are demonstrably false."

"You stated that the death toll in Gaza was “nearing 20,000,” yet the death toll on the day your article was written, January 15, had surpassed 24,000. This is a factual error that needs to be corrected."

"Please include a quote from a pro-Palestine voice to make your article balanced. CJPME would be glad to recommend someone from Toronto."

"There is really only one logical conclusion, that the demonstrator is not “calling for Jihad” in a political sense, but rather referring to someone named Jihad or Jehad."

"Ms. DiManno also refers to the neighbourhood of the Avenue Road protests as “primarily Jewish.” I’m not quite sure how she’s judging this, but according to the 2016 census, only about 5% of York Centre is Jewish, which is to the north of the Avenue Road Bridge protest."
