The Media Accountability Project  

Below the short article it states: “The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.” This is false. The article is a shortened, verbatim version of another The Epoch Times article published online written by a staff journalist, Andrew Thornebrooke.[i] I believe this is a serious breach of journalistic ethics, as it misleads readers into believing this was authored by AP or Reuters. As it stands, it appears as if The Epoch Times is masquerading an in-house story as one by the AP and Reuters.

"The notion that more guns and armed civilians in Israel will lead to greater safety is not only misguided but downright dangerous. A more sustainable and just solution lies in ending the apartheid policies that have been in place in Israel for decades and respecting the basic human rights of Palestinians."

It is encouraging to see that anti-Palestinian racism is finally being acknowledged by school boards, and was recently named by the Peel school board in their anti-racism policy.This is critically important at a time when Israel’s discriminatory treatment of the Palestinians is increasingly acknowledged by human rights groups as apartheid. Sadly, Kay’s rejection of the idea that Palestinians can face racism, and her slanderous remarks against Palestinian solidarity activists, demonstrate just how pervasive the problem of anti-Palestinian bigotry really is.
