What’s more, the Prime Minister and his cabinet voted in support of a motion that, among other things, agrees to support international legal investigations of Israel and its leaders.  Urback can try to spin it as meaningless, but in the convoluted world of Canadian politics, it’s not!

The sale of the land is contentious because this was the sale of land on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, which are illegal according to international law. This land is not available for purchase by Palestinians. Your summary is, unfortunately, misleading to readers who do not already understand the contentious nature of settlements

"From what we know, there is no evidence to link incidents in synagogues to pro-Palestine protests. Pro-Palestine protests have also not targeted synagogues. You cannot just make these statements without evidence and generalize them as accusations. It is not only not accurate, but it is intentionally inflammatory."

"Failing to say that Israel may have tortured Palestinians to obtain false confessions demonstrates The Globe and Mail’s tendency to purport Israel’s allegations with little to no skepticism."

"If you insist on maintaining the current prominence of voices in the article, I ask you to change the word “Haters” in your headline to “content creators” to remove any moral judgment and one-sidedness from your headline."

Please take a moment to explain to the Globe and Mail why this opinion piece is disrespectful and out-of-touch. Since we’ve included the email for submitting letters to the editor, you may consider writing your letter such that it could be published in the letters section. The Globe and Mail asks for letters fewer than 150 words and to include your name, address, and daytime phone number.

By consistently prioritizing comments from one group before comments from another, the Globe and Mail inevitably suggests a hierarchy of perspectives to the reader and presents a one-sided story. Excluding voices that are critical of Israel or sympathetic to Palestinians, whether unintentional or on purpose, further marginalizes Palestinian narratives.

"I was disappointed to realize that you covered this story by choosing to publish an article from a wire news service instead of asking your staff members to write an article about it."

"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. I, therefore, ask you to balance the article by adding more context about the protest by giving voice to the organizers and the protesters."

Please help us challenge the Globe and Mail for not giving Palestinians a voice in an article which speaks of Israel's threatened attack on the city. The article also fails to provide important context with respect to Israel’s threatened actions.
