"In its recent editorial regarding Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech on antisemitism, The Globe editorial board falsely equates anti-Zionism with antisemitism in order to delegitimize peaceful advocacy for Palestinian human rights as hateful rhetoric aimed at the Canadian Jewish community."

This language misleads readers into thinking that Israel has a strong claim to or ownership of Palestine. Nevertheless, such usage runs directly counter to 1) the way international law views the military seizure of territory, 2) the position of the international community regarding Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territories, and 3) the ordinary meaning of the term in plain English.

By choosing to print an unequivocal falsehood on behalf of the state of Israel, without providing factual correction or legal context, you have violated fundamental journalistic ethics.

We have serious concerns regarding the evidence relied upon in the report, as well as controversy surrounding the founder of the non-profit organization, Cochav Elkayam-Levy, raising significant questions about the credibility of the commission’s findings. These concerns should warrant fair-minded journalistic scrutiny by The Globe and Mail, which is presently missing.

"The US/Israeli insistence that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon is pure hegemonic racism. The only country on the planet that has used nuclear weapons against a defenceless civilian population - twice - is the US. For that country to declare who is allowed and denied nuclear weapons is beyond hypocritical."

"This prioritization of information is dramatically different from the April 21, 2026 Canadian Press article on the same topic, where October 2023 and the broader geopolitical context is mentioned in the fourth and fifth paragraph - of a total of 26 paragraphs."

"Unless Colin can point to specific instances of Palestine solidarity protests becoming criminal, he should not be mentioning the protests that started in response to Israel’s genocide. It has no relevance to this topic other than to parrot the Israeli state narrative that these protestors are antisemitic."

"Based on the abundant information available about Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon that was available even at the time this Associated Press article went to press, it should be revised to include that not only that 'attacks in Iran and Gulf Arab countries resumed on Wednesday,' but also, that Israel continued to attack Lebanon after the ceasefire was announced on Tuesday and Wednesday."

"Yakabuski defames Lewis and his team by portraying them as inherently antisemitic simply for being allies of the Palestinian movement. Mr. Yakabuski also portrays support for Palestinian rights as inherently suspect or extremist, by implying  that the presence of Palestinian symbolism, such as flags or keffiyehs, at the NDP convention is indicative of antisemitism within the party. To be clear, I believe these passages constitute forms of anti-Palestinian racism, as defined by the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association. This includes 'defaming Palestinians and their allies with slander such as being inherently antisemitic' in order to silence their narratives and advocacy."
