"Your Canadian readers need to see more articles that highlight the hardships caused by Israel’s violence against civilians in Gaza.  Interviewing Palestinians and prioritizing their testimonies and perspectives, as you have done in this article, is also essential. Please continue to do so."

An article from the Globe and Mail from Tuesday was constructed in a way which reflects extreme bias against Palestinans.  Please join us in critiquing this article about the resignation of BC’s Minister Selina Robinson following her insensitive comments about Palestine and Palestinians.

"Your article fails to outline how and why her comments are particularly racist and harmful from the get-go. You only quote Naomi Klein and Hani Faris at the complete end of the article. It would be helpful for readers to move these paragraphs to place them under the first paragraph to further contextualize how Robinson’s comments are anti-Palestinian."

"While your story does include references to the ongoing Israeli blockade, you should mention how the IDF has not met the requirements of the International Court of Justice and what Mr. Michaud’s view is upon this aspect of the ‘plausible’ Genocide."

"Israel, good. Left, bad. Multiculturalism, dangerous. You get the idea. It epitomizes the partisanship so prevalent in our society, a polarization that depends on the disposal of critical thought. While this screed may appear more elegant than those echoing on anonymous internet forums, it is not much different."

"I insist that you include a reference to the fact that the ICJ has ruled that South Africa’s contention that Israel is committing genocide is plausible and that Israel has a duty to do more to prevent genocide in Gaza. Please add this important context when speaking about Israel’s attacks on Palestine."

"This is such a bold and extraordinary claim, which Marie Woolf has editorialized in an even more sensationalist fashion, that readers deserve more information. While such a thing may have been said, and ought to be condemned if it was, to make this particularly hateful phrase seem like part of some pro-Hamas movement is a spectacular claim for a serious journalist to make."

"The Houthis are targeting Israeli-related ships or the ones that are heading to Israel to show support for Palestine and for Israel to stop its bombardment campaign on Gaza."

Please join us in challenging a one-sided op-ed by Rosalie Abella that promotes false claims and blames Palestinians for their own suffering.

"I cannot understand how or why Rosalie Abella in her op-ed January 9, as well as Marcus Gee in his Globe piece ‘The genocide libel against Israel’ (Jan 5) fail on so many accounts to address the core substance of the South Africa case before the International Court of Justice."
