"The lives of children like Ward and Hind — and of Palestinian women and men — are rarely granted front-page coverage. Their stories are buried, while Israeli narratives dominate the news cycle with urgency and emotion."

"Once again, I thank you for publishing this article, and I encourage the CBC to continue to highlight the horrific impacts of Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza on Palestinians, as we work to collectively draw attention to voices, perspectives and movements that are often sidelined in Canadian mainstream media."

On May 22, 2025, CBC News aired a deeply troubling interview with Israel’s ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed. The segment failed to meet basic journalistic standards, offering a platform for unchallenged Israeli propaganda while erasing Palestinian suffering. We encourage our media responders to hold CBC accountable for its complicity in dehumanizing Palestinians.

"The article refers to Palestinian “prisoners”, and in doing so, neglects critical context on Israel’s use of administrative detention, which allows Israel to imprison Palestinians indefinitely without charge or trial."

"I’m surprised this article is not an opinion piece as you have gone to great lengths to embrace the Israeli perspective and omit the Palestinian view. This of course denies any empathy for Palestinian suffering and attempts to shift it all to Israel as if they are the victims."

"The most important weapon any nation possesses is its conscious, educated youth—those who will ultimately rebuild and lead it. We saw this reflected in the unprecedented university encampments that began at Columbia University in New York City last year—a mass uprising of the next generation rejecting their universities’ complicity with Israel’s genocide against Palestinians — and sending a clear message to their administrations: you do not dictate who lives and who doesn’t."

"The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered the Israeli government to ensure the “unimpeded access to humanitarian assistance” to Palestinians in Gaza, well over one year ago. Israel’s use of starvation as a method of warfare amounts to collective punishment, which is prohibited under the Fourth Geneva Convention."

The Globe and Mail is complicit in dehumanizing Palestinians through one-sided, pro-Israel coverage. This rare piece by Hasan Jaber breaks that pattern by amplifying a Palestinian voice from within the besieged Gaza Strip, laying bare the psychological torment and deprivation of basic life necessities due to Israel’s siege. 

On May 8, 2025, CTV News published an Associated Press article titled “Leading aid group shuts down its soup kitchens across Gaza over Israel’s blockade.” While the piece highlighted Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon of war, it also relied on biased language and framing that violated journalistic standards.

CJPME volunteer Nikki Mutch submitted a detailed media accountability letter raising serious concerns about the use of the term “extremists” to describe Hamas, contrasted with euphemistic descriptions of Israeli military actions.

As a result of this letter, the AP/CTV team removed the word “extremist” from the article. This is a meaningful editorial correction that directly aligns with CJPME’s call for accurate, fair, and balanced reporting. It also signals that media outlets are paying attention to public pressure and ethical accountability.

CJPME commends this correction and will to challenge anti-Palestinian bias in Canadian media.

"The article cites Israel’s justification for the blockade without challenge. This framing is blatantly misleading. Hamas agreed to release all remaining hostages as part of a phased ceasefire deal—a deal Israel violated in order to continue its military assault on Gaza."
