"The map used by CBC shows Jerusalem as entirely outside of the occupied West Bank. Both Israel and the Palestinians claim Jerusalem as their capital city, and East Jerusalem (which includes the Old City) is considered occupied Palestinian territory under international law."

"Your article omits essential information, which is the blockade on Gaza. It is inaccurate and unfortunate not to mention it in your article since it is an essential piece of context to understand why everything is unfolding in the way it is."

"Can any of us pretend that the West has, in its reactions, placed as much value on lost Palestinian lives as on lost Israeli lives? This is where the road of dehumanization leads. Let us stop the march down this road, and instead think, act, and struggle in more inclusive directions."

"Your piece uses dehumanizing language repeatedly. “Savagery,” “bestial,” “ghoulish,” “barbaric,” and “inhumane.” Of course, some of these words describe Hamas’s attack, but some are pointed at demonstrators or their intentions. The photo at the top of the article shows a crowd that is overwhelmingly Arab and presumably Palestinian. As such, tying these faces to dehumanizing language reads as nothing less than racist and defamatory. It also perpetuates negative stereotypes about Palestinians."

"Informed Canadian readers should by now all know that Israel has decisive control over the Rafah crossing. The Saturday Globe and Mail, for instance, gave us reports that Rafah was closed because “Israel has not agreed to allow humanitarian supplies to enter Gaza from Egypt, where large numbers of trucks are awaiting entry.” Israel, the Globe clarified, has this week exercised its control over the Rafah crossing to impose a siege on Gaza: “the Israeli authorities halted all supplies of food, fuel, water, and medicine into Gaza.” 

"En ces temps où la division et la haine anti-palestinienne sont à l’heure, il faut éviter de répandre des informations non fondées qui ne font que les attiser. Malheureusement, cette chronique en fait partie et il est de votre devoir journalistique de vérifier les faits et de faire attention à ce que vous publiez."

“The instructions issued by the Israeli authorities for the population of Gaza City to immediately leave their homes, coupled with the complete siege explicitly denying them food, water, and electricity, are not compatible with international humanitarian law.”

"By the time you published this report, more Palestinians than Israelis had been killed in this week’s violence: now more than 1,800 Palestinians killed by Israel, and the number daily rises by the hundreds. Your emphasis on Israeli losses will be read as lopsided, i.e. racist."

"Vous utilisez les mots tuées pour désigner les victimes israéliennes et morts pour désigner les victimes palestiniennes. Par souci d’intégrité journalistique, vous devriez considérer les victimes sur un même pied d’égalité et uniformiser votre langage."

"Thinking Jews, in Montreal as elsewhere, join in seeing what you have written as a shanda, an unjustifiable shame. That you should be ashamed of yourselves is the politest thing one can say."
