"Opening your news segment with such a sentence implies a bias against the action of the protesters. It undermines the intentions behind the protest, which was to push the Canadian government to implement an arms embargo on Israel, because of Israel’s genocide in Gaza."

"While it’s about the Israel-Hamas conflict, one would expect to see more Palestinian voices being given a platform than Dr. Amal Ismail as they are the main beneficiaries of a ceasefire and are also central to the negotiations for a ceasefire."

"Although popular Canadian media has vaguely alluded to the rising levels of starvation in Gaza, Dalia Al Awqati provides the full breadth of context needed for an audience to know the full scale of starvation, dehydration, and malnutrition in Gaza, as well as Israel’s unilateral responsibility for these outcomes."

In fact, the call came from around 300 Muslim institutions and mosques. Given that SmartScrapers estimates that there are roughly 620 mosques in Canada, this means that – already – almost half of Canada’s Muslim community is in agreement with this call, which the word “several” downplays.

"Your article was particularly refreshing because every statement by the IDF was followed or preceded by a Palestinian testimony, which demonstrates proper media skepticism of the official Israeli government line. In many cases, Canadian media fail to question Israeli government/military allegations and explanations, even when there is available solid evidence refuting them."

"Given that Hamas targeted military personnel and infrastructure on Oct. 7, only a portion of their attacks can be broadly classified as 'terrorism'."

"Twice Dr ElSherif impresses on us that this is a "war on children", pointing out that 90% of patients he treated were between ages 4 and 11 and many died of treatable causes due to lack of supplies.Supplies which International Humanitarian Law dictates Israel has a duty to provide.."

"Specifically, you write that the "war has led to tens of thousands of Palestinians dying." This passive voice, "dying," makes it appear that the deaths were spontaneous, and it conceals from the reader the fact that these people were killed by Israeli military actions."

"It is unfair that people who were not present at the pro-Palestine rally are given a prominent right to comment, while those who attended and the organizers of the rally themselves are not. The only space and voice you give are a one-sentence paragraph to one of the organizers, Toronto4Palestine, which doesn’t even correctly assess their intentions behind the rally: to bring awareness to Rafah amidst Israel’s assault."

"While I appreciate the humanizing aspects of the article, I felt like the broader context of what is happening in Gaza was lacking from your article. This is unfortunate as it would have given a more complete and accurate picture of why the Zaqouts were forcibly displaced and are asking to move to Canada."
